LV Bevel Up Jointer Plane/Veritas Jointer Fence - Reviewed
The following Link will take you to WKFineTools.com site and the above reviews.
http://www.wkfinetools.com/contribut...nter/index.asp
In the Jointer review, the LV BU Jointer was compared with a Type 11 Stanley #7, while in the Jointer Fence review, a comparison was made with the Stanley #386.
Owing to a lack of self control – but mainly the inclusion of many pictures – the article is extra long and so has been divided into two pages. It takes about a minute to load on my dial-up connection.
As always, please offer your comments since one of the aims is to generate discussion about tools and techniques.
Regards from Perth

Well done Derek, your usual high standard. I did like the touch of "Olde Englifh" it seemed like Driver was in there.
The revue does support your advice regarding a companion to the LA smoother and this is my next plane instead of an LA jack.
Thank you, once again, for the time and effort you put into these revues. They certainly help when deciding whether to spend the hard earned or not.

Planes
I don't own a plane of any kind. Maybe I should buy one and learn to use it. Excellent review though most of the terms used are swahili to me.
If you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

Well done Derek. And the wikipedia woodworking section still awaits your contributions.

Another well written review, in two parts. Did the website pay your for this as it is of alot better quality than is found in some WW mags.

But there is an interesting issue about reviews and magazines. There is a thread on another forum that is calling for reviews to be completed by website (where there can be discussion) rather than mags (where they are frequently chopped up to fit space).

Excellent review(s), Derek, and I like the table too.
I own a mixture of low- and standard angle planes, but no high angle ones, such as the Gordons. Have you any reviews targetted at HNTG?
Oh, and one more thing. On my browser two of the photos came out as big black rectangles (???).Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

Hi Zenwood
A couple of others have also brought my attention to black rectangles. I am looking into it - not my website, and the articles are posted there on my behalf. MikeW will be organising the article for my usual wenspace, but he is snowed under with work at present.
Regarding HNTG planes, I did touch on the Smoother in my article on the LV BU Smoother: http://members.iinet.net.au/~derekco...bus/index.html
If I get time ....

Just read your review Derek, I enjoyed it and very well done.
Just a comment - there are very few modern items that remain close to the original models in terms of design and performance as wood planes.
Whilst the top of the line modern LV planes you test did out perform your older ones (but in my reading, not by a huge margin) compare this to other technology, ie engines, optics, pharmaceuticals, motors etc. 2005 re 1910.
I guess it really made me think how good were the Stanley engineers back in the early 1900's.Bodgy

Guide newbies to LA/adjustable mouth planes?
