Trip Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hay Kiki, can you visit my shop -- my LN's don't look nearly so pretty... BTW: FL, is that the scrub plane? What on earth do you use that on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Well, admittedly, they don't get all that much use. At least the bench planes. Occasional to rare, I'd say. He doesn't drive it, he just rubs it with a diaper. Easy one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Some great looking tools in here. Maybe one day I will own some this nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 BTW: FL, is that the scrub plane? What on earth do you use that on? It is! I use it how they're intended Reducing the width of a board quickly! I've probably used it a handful of times since I've owned it. Not something that gets a lot of use, but it sure is nice when needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Meh Size doesn't matter! Graham likes that rabbet block because he owns part of it. He's a sweetie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I can't think of two more versatile planes. Good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm thinking of getting the rabbet block and low-angle jack as my first LN porn purchases. I strongly recommend the skew rabbet plane. All of the advantages of the standard rabbet, but it has a skewed blade and an adjustable fence for plowing rabbets or chamfers. And the low angle Jack is a great tool. Can't go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgreenb Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm thinking of getting the rabbet block and low-angle jack as my first LN porn purchases.

Eric. Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I don't know. Why not? I guess it never really crossed my mind since I have no use for it. But assuming you can get a toothed blade for it, I don't see how it's any less versatile than a 62. Maybe someone more Neanderthal than me knows of a reason.

bgreenb Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 My first ever LN purchases arrived. A LA jack and rabbeting block plane. I'm drooling: Tell ya what - literally everything about these tools absolutely screams quality. Both the tools themselves and they way they are packed. I did get a kick out of the fact that they used the weekend circulars to provide some padding in the exterior box: It made me picture a single person inspecting and packing up my planes on his kitchen counter. Romantic, I know. Can't wait to get started using these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estesbubba Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Very nice! Is that blade on the right normal or the scraper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 ==>So why not the jack rabbet? For many applications, the R and non-R would be a push, but not all... For example, The LAJ makes a pretty good shooting plane, not the R... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Wow those are pretty. One day I hope to have something that nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreenb Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Very nice! Is that blade on the right normal or the scraper? It's normal - I went with a toothed blade and another normal one which I will make into a high angle one for working on figured woods. I thought about getting the scraper as well but I already have a veritas cabinet scraper that I use all the time and I just couldn't justify another 50 bucks for a scraper blade that I probably wouldn't end up using that much. While we're here - question for you guys. These are my first "premium" hand planes, and I'm not sure exactly what to do with the blades out of the box. What do most people do? Just hone the bevel at 8000, put a micro bevel on it, and be done with it? Do you bother lapping the back? I read Chris Schwarz's blog post and watched his video about it, and he made a whole point about how he doesn't do much to a premium plane...and then he goes ahead and does more than I would expect. Just wondering what you all typically do to premium plane irons "out of the box" (this is assuming that you're not changing the bevel angle from the factory 25*). Sorry to hijack - if the mods want to move this question to a separate thread, feel free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
