New Planes from Lee Valley - Detail Palm Planes

Some cool looking Coach makers planes,

I think they would be useful in some situations. Instrument making for example…

They definitely look cool. I’d love to hear from someone who has tried them.

I wish I had those when I used to make patterns for belt buckles. I can see how a luthier might use those as well.

-- Michael :-{| Diapers and politicians both need to be changed often; and for the same reason.

I have never seen the like before – My first thought was that they should be pulled, rather than pushed, it strikes me you would have far greater control on a pull stoke.

I don’t suppose any body has seen a video of these in use?

They’re like tiny little Spokeshaves that you push with your palm?!? VERY cool looking but are they only used for areas you can’t get a spokeshave into or what?

-- I have metal in my neck but wood in my blood!!

They’re cute. Am I the only guy that subconsciously wanted to go golfing after looking at the pictures on the right?

They registered in my brain as little tiny drivers.

Little driver planes…. I guess we will need to see if someone posts a review…

Looks interesting I wonder how they work?

The double convex would be more useful for guitar braces because
you can scallop/feather the ends or middles with a lengthwise convex
plane. Of course you can do it with a chisel too. For guitar planes,
look at the distance from the edge of the plane to the corner of the
iron – that’s the limit of how close you can get to the soundboard.

cheers for that loren
