Just a small gloat that I pulled the trigger on a LV medium shoulder plane today. The wife just doesn't seem to be terribly interested.
At least there is safety with neanders!

The LV medium shoulder was my first quality plane purchase and still one of my best decisions.

Good purchase on your part! I've spent about two hours using mine today, making some cherry furniture as a gift for a young couple. The more I use it, the more I appreciate it.
The downside is that I've started lusting after the LV large shoulder plane. Can somebody talk me out of it??!?
I've been very happy with mine. It was my first LV plane won't be the last. I really like the ergonomics of the handle.
Congratulations on that purchase, Ben. I have tried 2 cheap shoulder planes, which now equals 0 usable shoulder planes. I look forward to getting the one you did to see how it is supposed to work!

Veni Vidi Vendi Vente! I came, I saw, I bought a large coffee!
Congrats on the new shoulder plane.
Watch it though they have a tendency to multiply very quickly..
I find the more furniture thats made for the house
the easier it is to put more toys in the shop....
That's going to be my next major purpose too. I know what you mean about having to tell somebody who cares.

Ben,
Can totally relate about the wife not being interested. You'd think with all that I do for her and all the attention she gets from me she'd be a little more interested in what I'm interested in. I do like the suggestion posted about buying more tools, then she would be interested. Since I haven't sprung for any hand planes yet this might be a good start. So should this LV medium shoulder plane be my first purchase? Aren't those made by Veritas.
LV/Veritas planes are awesome. And I've needed that very plane for too long...
That's my next plane!
I've got that plane and use it a lot. It's a great tool. I now have four Veritas planes, and am about to get another one. I have been very satisfied with all of their planes so far.
