I have a #3 Clifton, Karl, (plus a few others 
) and the handle is a little more upright than on the larger planes so as to allow plenty of room for the hand - it makes for a very comfortable grip.
Cheers :wink:

Marvellous innit,you pay brewsters fo quality tool products and they turn up in cardboard boxes or plastic cases.
Wouldn't you at least think this would have come in a nice quality wood box?

What a hansom looking plane! I am sold as long as someone can convince me that a No.3 has a job to do that my equally beautiful No.4 can't do. This is a genuine request for information, I want one but need some justification. And are there any left?

I have the Clifton #3 and it's one of my favourites. As well as being good for general smoothing work, I find it excellent when planing end grain free-hand and a block plane doesn't have enough heft. The extra weight of the #3 is great in this sort of situation
Classic Hand Tools and Workshop Heaven both have a few of the anniversary planes left but I'm not sure which sizes. Give them a ring and they can soon tell you.
Cheers :wink:

Very nice looking plane David. 8) Did you pay for my one at the same time? :?:
Cheers, Vann.
A quick peek at the WH site suggests they're out of the No.5, but still have all the others.Paul Chapman":1rw3iovg said:

It's the same with Lie-Nielsen and Veritas. Quangsheng, surprisingly, are one of the few who provide a wooden box.
Do people really keep their planes in these boxes?
I mean, it might be required if you're going to sell the plane later but, there aren't many of us who will spend £200 on a plane, only to turn around and sell it on six-months later... :wink:
