Maybe we could have lunch someplace with a wooden table so we could try it out there. Not sure the restaurant would like it, though :eek:

How you likin' that brand new Veritas plane Steve?
That be a WoodRiver No. 62.....been putting it to work...
A no.5 1/2 is my most used plane
Thanks for the discussion guys. I had decided on a bronze #3 but it was out of stock so went for a #5. I'll most likely end up with the #3 at some stage in the near future tho :).
I like the width of the #4 and enjoy using my LN Jack Rabbet which is similar in weight and just a bit shorter than the #5 so I think I'll get along with it well. Also looking forward to swapping and playing around with the 45deg vs 50deg frog in my #4 using the frog from the #5.
Cheers, Dom
I have Stanley Bedrock planes. I also have 5 1/2 Stanley. I guess I go for old iron. I know Lie-Nielsen and Veritas are good.
This is a great discussion. I'm like the OP looking for new and different tools. The LN bronze #3 is definitely on my short list. I really love the LN 62 and LN rabbet block, and want to add a few more.
Hmmmm..

Sorry, I was busy raising panels...
I'm going to add that the LV 40th anniversary pocket plane is pure joy.
It's everything that I wanted in a block plane, and shiny to boot.
I might order another one, even though I swore I wouldn't. :P
Dominik,
How about the Veritas Combination plane? It's would be like an older ("larger?") brother to your small plow plane....
Seriously, recently I replaced my plow plane with a combination plane and i love it.
