LN low angle block plane.
just feels good in the hand.
And I love to use it to plane the profile on things like the dining table
and cabinet I made. One of my favourite things to do with a plane.
Cheers
Frank

There are a few favourite planes.
My wife would say that her favourite is the one in December that takes us to the States and Canada to visit friends. I'm looking forward to some time with Rob Lee and his family .. not to mention exploring the LV factory.
Then there is the Orange Block Plane, as it brings memories of my son and I having fun together several years ago ...
The Orange Block Plane – a review
And lastly, but not least, in the event of a fire I would grab this little woodie before any other ...
One little plane, a 9" smoother in Hornbeam

So hard to choose just one
I really like my Stanley 140 ( I actually have 4 of them. Planning on making 3 good users from the 4 and selling the other two to fund more tools.
)
But my current favourite is the HNT Jack I made from a kit.

I love to get my old stanley#7 on a long joint edge board and hear that swish as a full length shaving wipes off again and again.
Regards Rod.

Reading comprehension not a strong point with you guys is it.
I will make 3 good ones out of the 4 sets of bits. Keep 1, sell 2. OK, I may have left out the 'keep 1' bit Originally Posted by jimbur

NC, you may have emigrated, & anyway, Singleton is well south of the Qld border, so it may as well be Taswegia. Originally Posted by NCArcher

Orright, guilty as charged -I didn't check your address - it would have spoilt a good riposte....
