Because I need to bring my woodwork into my basement workshop without power tools, I am going to be using hand tools for a few projects over the winter.
I need to do rabbets and since a router isn’t possible, I’m looking for experienced users to give me the benefit of your experience.
Wooden hardwood rabbet plane? Skew rabbet plane from Lee Valley? Jack rabbet plane? What would be the most versatile long term, even cleaning up the machining from power tools.
If you had to do it again, with only one tool, what would you choose?
