    I was an early adopter of Lie Nielsen planes. I’ve sold them off though, keeping only the low angle jack and the 102 as users. The Stanleys get by just fine for benchwork.

    I don’t know about your larger tools, but I sure do like those Toyo tool chests for smaller stuff. I’d have an assortment if I could pay local Japanese prices.
