I need a jointer plane for my next project, and I would like to try a wooden jointer plane. In part because I am doing the project with my 8 year old son, and he cannot deal with the heft of my LN #8.
But I am having trouble finding one. I would really like to keep this as cheap as possible, so where should I be looking? I saw an ebony 18" jointer plane on the Japan Woodworker website for $160, but I would like to spend a lot less than that. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
