Does anyone have experience cutting tongue and groove joints using hand planes? What is the best and easiest tool for a beginner? I Have been looking into the lie Nielsen no48, but see Stanley makes a #48 as well. I am using 3/4 stock, and see the vintage Stanley's are for 7/8" stock, but if you reference the same face I heard it's not a huge deal, but the joint will be off center. I have seen videos of people making their own planes but I am pretty intimidated by that. Thanks for the guidance!
