I've actually been waiting for this one and realized that the cost of the next couple of planes that I would like to have would exceed the likely price of the course...

So thanks!

And I want to say that having a plane that you specifically made for a given use is a$$-kickingly good. YOU pick the blade, the angle of the blade, the width of the throat, the length of the bed, even the angle of the sidewalls in relation to the base. Make a block plane that suits you and it will never leave your work apron pocket except to be used or sharpened.

I have always wondered how much work goes into keeping the base of a wooden hand plane flat over time. How often do people who use wooden planes find that they have to true up the sole?
