What's a hand plane? :lol: I do have a hand plane although hardly use it. I have never found the plug to it? I think it is an old Record one of around 5" keep it just in case of a power cut. :?

* New Record #5 Jack - not too bad but must replace the plastic handles.
* Via eBay, old Stanley #7 Jointer - definitely my favourite!
Someone loaned me a #7 ages ago and I never thought I could use such a big thing - but got used to it and had to have my own - anything smaller feels like a toy now

Various block planes.

Now, I have:
No. 4.5
No. 5
No. 60.5
No. 220

Probably enough, really, but I'm quite taken by some of these shoulder planes that people have been talking about...

The ones I like using are:
#3
#4 1/2
#5 1/2
#7
#077 bullnose
#220 block
Apart from the #3 and #220 which I bought new many, many years ago, they're all secondhand and pretty old. After cleaning up, fettling, and regrinding the blades, they work very well.
I've just bought a new V*****s #80 scraper - it's excellent.
I also have a few other bench/block planes which I don't use much, so I may sell them to help raise funds for one of those unmentionable US or Canadian goodies.

I fear mine's now totally out-of-date ('cos I've sold some, okay?! :roll: Well, mainly 'cos I've sold some...) - d'you want me to bother to update it?

Oooo, not fair! I was actually going to re-do to reflect what I've been using but I sharn't now. [-(

Which would be interesting, but I ain't going to trawl back through and delete anything you don't have. For interests sake, I'm still interested so see what you are using now though....
