    The wedge is almost certainly original, just based on how it looks with the plane. No finish or glue has been applied. I think I may have just given it one too many taps at some stage, didn't use it...

    I have a dado plane that's been sitting in my tool chest for a while now because the wedge has gotten itself completely wedged. I've tried knocking the blade through, and it's still stuck. I've stood...

    It was from the floor up. I did have to go back and straighten up the aprons a bit more, so that may have been reduced a bit now.

    I'm sure they are great chisels, but bloody hell, the price is a bit steep. Feel like you can get the same results without spending half as much. I have the Narex ones and they do the job just fine.
