Finally got a chance to use the Stanley No. 8 I posted a blog entry about a few days ago. Gotta say it’s pretty sweet. I’m sure there are others that may be able to tune it to a finer degree, but when I remember the frustration of the first time I ever tried to use a hand plane it feels really good. And what a huge difference sharpening makes!! Today I was using it to even out the glue ups on my new workbench legs. I took a couple of photos to share.

I love my Stanley No 8. It has the weight I like to be pushed through the work. I used it in flattening my workbench top. Nothing else would have worked as good.
Finding a Stanley No 8 that hasn’t been used and abused can be tough and the nice ones go for a pretty penny on Ebay but it’s well worth it.
