My lovely wife wants to buy me a gift.....thinking about Edge-Trimming Plane(s)....
1. Lie-Nielsen Bronze Edge Plane--right handed and left handed-95RH and 95LH;
2. Lie-Nielsen Skew Block Plane with Nicker Right and Left Handed--
Also available in Iron......140....;
3. Veritas Iron Edge-Trimming Plane-Right Handed and Left-Handed
05P03.01...(Lee Valley);
4. Veritas Bronze Edge-Trimming Plane----05P02.05---;
*****
5. The Veritas Iron Edge Trimming Planes are available in A2 and O2 steel;
one is softer and easier to sharpen, the other is harder and harder to sharpen.....how do I decide?
6. Left Handed and Right Handed---how to deside? Is it more than right and left handed? Meaning what about splintery woods........do you need both?
7. Pros and cons of #1,2,3,and 4? Which wou you pick and why?:
Thanks all,
Phil
