Mujingfang 3mm Radius round over plane (first used today)

[Ed Bray]

After marcros requested some pictures of the little Mujingfang 3mm Radius Round-over plane in action I specifically went and took some and thought I would share them on here. Great value I thought at £20 and saved me the trouble and noise in setting up the router table), there are 3 in the range but I just got this one and the Mujingfang adjustable chamfer version from Workshop Heaven.

Looks good. I think that many of these jobs are quicker by hand than setting up the router to do it. I often reach for my record 043 when I need to groove something rather than get the router curtter, find the spanners, change the bit, play around with depth/height and fence settings etc.

I'm glad it worked out so well. And I certainly agree about hand tools.
Those Mujingfang planes look very good, especially at the price they are. I have one of their little block plane equivalents and it's excellent.
