Hadn't seen this mentioned over here, but following on from the Miniature Shoulder Plane, LV have come out with a Miniature Edge Plane

And if you've always fancied a Bevel-Up Smoother but couldn't quite justify the price, how about:



Unfortunately no wood will be harmed during the ownership of that one. but pretty cool, I thought.

No affiliation. Okay, so I might have placed a miniature order, but I needed something else anyway. Honest...

Bit too shiny for me. I use this:

"Marx" brand, 3" long. Functional blade, but the adjustments aren't up to much. And really, those dreadful plastic handles!!

Some of the folks round here would have stripped it down and made a miniature infill of that by now, Andy. Chop chop. :wink: (Although those aren't the worst brown plastic handles I've ever seen, not by a long way.)

All far too big - I use my Bill Carter - it's about 1" long!

:lol: I used to have one of those many moons ago, but can't for the life of me think of where it disappeared to. I think one of my brothers nabbed and swapped it for a box of toy soldiers or something.

I tend to use various incarnations and adaptations of Stanley's 100 - 101.5 lineup for small work, but Ibex planes are very well worth having around if your work justifies them. Very nice heft for such small finger planes and great little users. :wink:

Glad to see someone else had one. I find it rather pleasing that something made and sold as a toy is a pretty close model of a No 4 and comes with a functional blade! Obviously it's not in the same league as the others, but still nice to have.

I think they were intended as tooth-pick sharpeners and brought new meaning to the term "micro-bevel". You'd often see them being sold among those key-ring mounted "Loud-Bang" pistols on shop counters. :shock:

I've a small square from Meccano that would go well with your plane.
