So, I’ve been corresponding with a woodworking author/teacher, and inquiring about metal plow planes. In particular, I asked about LV’s small plow. Their response was that it’s a fine tool, it’s best for smaller work (read: boxes, small furniture, etc.), and that the depth stop was not too reliable. The advice I got was to either look for a Stanley 45, or wait a month for the LN plow to be released. This person had been using it extensively and prefers it. Just called LN, to throw my name in the hat of those wanting to buy one. They informed me that they are not yet taking pre-orders, but will be doing so “before winter ends”.
So, anybody else on the list of those wishing to buy? Anyone heard preliminary reports?
