I'm sure with a little ingenuity, Veritas could produce a Lee Valley version of this

That's a great read Derek, thanks for posting. Although I may have you to blame if I wind up poorer because of it [emoji1]

Toss up between my 1974 Record 4 smoother; because for many years that's all I had and I learned about 99% of my planing skills on it; or my 1911 Stanley 5 that I restored as a user a couple of years ago.
Hmmm; I guess I'd have to plump for the 5.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

I was actually wondering this exact question when I was leveling my laminated pine work bench. My go to is the no.6 stanley beautiful old tool. Made in Canada. I did use the veritas low angle jack plane at the Wood work expo and it was fanastic. The blade thickness was impressive. The weight, casting quality was nice. Thats my next purchase I think.

Stanley 5 1/2. Hands down. It's the bench plane I use most.
