Hi, if anyone out there has even considered purchasing Lie Nielsen's butt mortise plane, do so....it is an incredible beautiful tool to use.
After making 22 interior doors, I proceeded to mortise for 3 4x4 baldwin brass butt hinges for each door and jamb, as well as install old style mortise locks on 15 of these doors.
The butt mortise plane performed flawlessly throughout, creating beautiful flat bottom mortises for the hinges, locks and strikeplates. A real pleasure!
I couldn't help but to exclaim ......excuse my enthusiam.
