I have an ECE jointer plane, and generally find it performs very well. Maybe the blade gets pushed back up sometimes when I don't want it to, but probably true of all wedged irons.
Lately I have noticed that the handle creates fatigue in my hand. It does not have the comfortable feel of my metal planes.
Has anyone customized the handle on this plane? I'd probably have to make a new one since I'd want it wider. Have not attempted to shape a handle before, not sure quite how to go about it.
