There's enough handplane lovers around here that this could be an informative question. What are your dream handplanes (handtools in general are acceptable)? I'm a sucker for the infills, so Norris and Preston would be at the top of my list. Of all of them….hmmm….probably a Norris panel plane (below) closely followed by a big Mathieson.
And away we go..again ! A nice heavy weight #5 -c type plane, heavier than my Stanleys..
Unbelievable..
It'd been sitting quietly, waiting it's turn..
and when it rocked on the bench I thought it had to be the bench, nope
onto the granite and oye !
it's a diagonal outa wack too, right front to left rear (quiet Al..)
Gotta think about this…
