The "How many hand planes do you have?" thread is a good chance
for me to ask if there is any debate about whether or not a spokeshave
should properly be called or classed as a plane. I don't include the one or
two I have in a hand plane count. No particular reason except maybe I
thought "what's next? Drawknives?" More likely it is because spokeshaves are
on my #@*!! list due to the fact I have not been able to get them to work
consistently for me.
