Folks,
I'm *hoping* for a Shepherd Tool Company Gft Certificates for Christmas and if I do get one, I'd like to be ready with my wish list of a kit to get.
I have an old Stanley #93, but was wondering which size shoulder plane you'd choose?
I guess there are two choices as I see it:
1 - keep the #93 and get a Shepherd in a larger size to augment
2 - sell the Stanley (really a user grade that'sbeen welded) and get a Shepherd as my only shoulder plane.
I haven't used the Stanley yet, as shop time has been limited so I'm not married to either option at the present.
For that matter, should I get a shoulder plane at all, or perhaps save up some more and get a miter kit?
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
-Mike
(who shouldn't admit he still has a St. James Bay Infill casting from the original Oldtools group buy he hasn't started yet...:eek:)
