Lie-Nielsen Plow Plane
Ken, I’m sure it will be as much as some of their more expensive planes, which are out of my price range. I have a Stanley 50, but I’m sure if I wanted to upgrade to a modern plow plane I’m sure the Veritas is going to be a lot cheaper. Still, that LN looks great in those pictures.
Very nice! But I too shutter to think of the price on that one. Its a good thing I love my old Record 043.

Hey Ken,
That Lie Neilsen Plow is going to be very costly. Fortunately I have the magic #405 Record Multiplane which is my most prized hand tool. One of the best purchases I ever made. Makes molding, beading, and sash a breeze.
I have all the cutters except the set of hollow noses they sold separately. I’ll find them eventually.
Record published a book called ‘Planecraft’ reprinted in 1979 covering the history of planes and uses of Record planes. Published by C. J. Hampton Ltd. Sheffield, England. One chapter covers the use of the #405 and all it’s functions. A super tool.

I fell into a sweet deal today on a Stanley 45. It is still in the original box With all the attachments and 20 cutting irons. It says in the literature the lady gave me with it that it was made somewhere between 1884 and 1895. I also found a Record 038. Both in mint condition. My wife is going to kill me….

Maybe you should sell one of those fine tools to me. You know, just to keep your wife happy 🙂
i'd prefer to make it myself
Looks really nice. I will be interested to see what the price ends up being. I have the Veritas plow and like it very much. Excellent bang for the buck.

I’m guessing it’ll cost an incredible amount! There’s a short bit of video about the new plane on one of The Wood Whisperer’s videos. He saw it at WIA this year. It starts around the 3:00 mark in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzaqxP0JU44
The thing I like about the look of this one is that there’s somewhere for your index finger to go. I have the Veritas version and really like it – I especially like the fence because it gives something to grip with my off hand but my index finger still misses some positive registration surface.

The Veritas plough plane is one of my favourite tools as well. I have the tongue and groove cutters for it as well as the regular blades. It’s a joy to use, and I haven’t used my router in place of it since I purchased it. Well worth the price. I would imagine the Lie Nielsen plane will be around $250.
