Hi all, hope you all had a merry xmas and a good new years celebration.
I've come out of my hibernation and i'm looking to build a better tool-kit. One of the things on my list is something to help clean up rabbets and tenons, currently I have nothing other than chisels that can do this job.
I've been looking at shoulder planes, and also the lie-nielsen rabbet block plane, what would you recommend as the more versatile, and would the rabbet block plane be able to clean up tenons like a shoulder, and can it be used on a shooting block, or will the blade dig in as it's pushed along?
Also, for cutting grooves and rabbets, is a stanley 78 a good idea, or should I pay a little more and go for one of the stanley or record plough/combination planes?
As always, any advice is welcomed.
