Hi all, I am looking at buying some planes over the next year and am at a total loss which make to buy. I have ruled out all the cheap makes as I already gave two of them and they just aren't what I like.
The question now is do I go for something middle of the road like stanley or record, or would I be better spending big money in premium planes like Clifton, Veritas or Lie Nielson?
I have searched he forums and the web and found reviews of each make but not together as a discussion so I thought I'd ask and see what the consensus of opinions is.
I am a cabinet maker as a profession but only for the past 3 years or do, I have managed to replace all my chisels with Ashley Isles ones and find they are so much nicer to use and own.
