Infill planes have also been made by Spiers and Norris.TonyinNYC wrote:Yeah....those are purty and real expensive! I have been looking for a link to another guy who makes planes. His prices were about the same but his planes were very different looking. Beautiful stuff. If I ever find it, I will post. My $9.99 used Ace Hardware plane is in a different league.

Undeniably, there are some beautiful tools there. Nice history as well. Thanks.
Has anyone here used one? comments?
I really hope I don't start obsessing about these things now...

Re: Festool sander as a thickness sander?
I stopped at Woodcraft on my way home from work today. While wandering and gazing at all the cool things I could't afford I see a Wagner Safety Planer sitting by its lonesome on the shelf. Already having one that I don't use I passed by it. Then recalling this thread I thought to pick it up. If anyone is interested let me know. I'm not looking to make any money off of this, just looking out for you kind folks.

What a very kind gesture. I have one already and although I don't use it so much these days now that I have a drum sander, I still do use it for cutting the taper on the backs of necks and also for thicknessing headstocks.SKBarbour wrote:I stopped at Woodcraft on my way home from work today.

Hope someone needy takes you up on the offer :)
