You may not be as “advanced” as the others as you say, but you have more first hand knowledge than I do so so I appreciate your opinion as much as the others who have responded.
and that is kind of the direction I am heading it looks like is a #4 or 5. I kind of like Ed’s comment of getting 2 blades for the #4 and setting one blade up to be a scrub plane and the other as all around till I get another one.
I do want a plow and router plane in the future as I do want to build cabinets and furniture in the future by hand.
I probably don’t need the honing guide as I can get 1/8 to 2″ chisels sharp as sin, not mention I can get all my knives all carbon steel (I am not a fan of stainless knives) to push cut through tissue paper after honing and stropping. Would it be a waste of money maybe maybe not. I can get it and if I don’t like it or see a need for it sell it but wont hurt to find out.
