Reply To: Hand Planes

Denial is the first admission of a potential problem George 😉 😀

I tend to use my planes in various ways, as the approach I take often varies depending on the timber in use.  There are ways to avoid buying multiple plane types, as well as potential down time if a blade is somehow accidentally damaged during use and you’ve insufficient time to re-grind a fresh edge.  This is by having a few spare double irons (Blade and cap iron combination) set up and ready to switch out at a moments notice.  🙂
