Thread: I'm going to regret this...

Alright. Now I'm gonna have to get a few too.

Does someone have the phone number for Paul's? I assume from the conversations I have followed over the last few months that they post these planes out if requested...

Oh no Alistair, you don't know how far down the slope I realy am, quite a long way really. The best I can do now is to try and limit the speed of the further slide.

Hello All,

Pardon My ignorance but what are these planes everyone is talking about and who and where is Pauls?

As a tool purchasing junkie I just know i am missing out on something that I absolutely "need".

any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards,


Scott.

MujingFang planes are Chinese made wooden planes that for the price are terrific value. In a lot of peoples opinion they outperform a modern Stanley or Record.

Doing a search will turn up heaps of information.

Paul's is a hardware shop in the SYdney CBD that sells them.

Expect to pay around $24 each for them.

Little Muji just arrived overnight from Pauls. Oh my gawd aint it a sweet little thing, straight out of the plastic I shaved the finest shaving off my desktop. I definitely qualify as a demented slope slider now.

He only signs the cheques, I run the place, thats why I sent him to Queensland this week to keep him out of my hair.

On a more important note it would appear that the blade has a lot of potential, almost polished on the back though I dont know yet how flat it is. If the whole thing is as good as it appears then serious consideration will have to be given to buying a few more. Slip Slip

Guys
Courtesy of CraigB I now have 4 of them. My favourite is the 7" smoother.
The 10" western style is a bit savage compared to the 7" one, but worlds ahead of my no. 4 stanley (new). I made some shavings of radiata that you can read writing (of about 8point font) through . I didn't know they have a high angle one, might have to get one of those too. Craig????

Termite - what were the mailing arrangements?

Cheers

Jim,

AFAIK they don't do a high angle a'la HNT Gordon.

I'm ready to be corrected though.
