A little back story, I once had a Veritas Skewed Rabbit plane that sat on my shelf and collected dust so I sold it. Not because I didn't like, it was awesome but I'm just not the kind of woodworker that makes a lot of rabbits, I build musical instruments. I also can't afford to have that kind of money sitting on a shelf so I sold it and bought a bunch of tools I use all the time, luthery tools.
I've recently got interested in trying my hand at some joinery and furniture making. I was supposed to start off with a computer desk which I haven't gotten past the drawing. Those darn YT videos get me thinking all the time and, look a squirrel, yeah that's how it goes. After watching some videos on making moldings where they are usually begun with a rabbit plane so I thought, I'll start there, hence my new toy. I think it says Sandusky tool Ohio. With shipping it cost me 1/10 of the cost of the Veritas. I can let this collect dust for a long time if need be. Hopefully it won't.
A secondary reason for the purchase is an interest in building molding planes. They're pretty simple but I felt it would be a good idea to have a model in hand for when I chase that squirrel.
