New LN Plane
MikeG
>A few weeks ago, I asked everyone for opinions on the LN and LV large shoulder planes. I ended up buying the LN large shoulder plane and it arrived yesterday. After cleaning up the protective oil and honing the blade I was able to try it out for a few minutes last night. It is NICE! As with all of the LN tools, fit and finish is super. Once I got the blade and mouth adjusted for shoulder cuts it was a joy to work with.
At first I was a little unsure of how it would feel compared to the LV. But after using it last night I think my hand size (XL) is perfect for the plane. I can easily grip it with one hand and feel in complete control.
I have a walnut table set that I've been working on. One table is complete and I'm starting the second table soon so the new plane should earn its keep.
Thanks for everyone's advice.
