Two New Planes
Just when we thought that plane design was becoming stale, along comes a pair of shoulder plane designs from Bridge City that look ever so avant garde.
I'm not sure how they perform, but they really look the goods.
Enjoy

WOW how much was that - lucky bugger. This seems to be the gold standard for shoulder planes these days.
Would love to know it works?

That does look beautiful and like it would fit ever so nice in the hand, great to see companies realising that function does not exclude form.

I read the AWR review. They quote a price of about $800 from memory. A little out of my range... But nice bits of kit I'm sure. Maybe I'll pick one up at a garage sale...

Multiplane
This one isn't new, but it is from the same stable.
The intriguing thing about these multiplanes is that the irons come with an interchangeable sole as a matched pair.
So the plane performs like dozens of wooden moulding planes with as many profiles as you have soles and irons to match..... some old things are lovely

If we're talking looking the goods and ground breaking how about this piece of plane mischief ...
the sole is interchangeable so you can cut different profiles, cost (in USD)
body only $249
fence $129
rounding profiles are $130 or $140 each (there are 4 so far)
V groove profile $209
so a complete kit would be about USD $1,100 (surely there would be some discount if you bought the lot)

Take a close look at the blades on the shoulder planes - they've got to be damn near 3/8" thick .

Enjoy the review.
