Just a small gloat that I pulled the trigger on a LV medium shoulder plane today. The wife just doesn't seem to be terribly interested.
At least there is safety with neanders!

The LV medium shoulder was my first quality plane purchase and still one of my best decisions.

Buy a couple more planes. That might get her interested.Originally Posted by Ben Davis

Good purchase on your part! I've spent about two hours using mine today, making some cherry furniture as a gift for a young couple. The more I use it, the more I appreciate it.
The downside is that I've started lusting after the LV large shoulder plane. Can somebody talk me out of it??!?

This is going to require a lot more brain cells than normally commit to a tool purchase. Can I get back to you on that.

I've been very happy with mine. It was my first LV plane won't be the last. I really like the ergonomics of the handle.

Congratulations on that purchase, Ben. I have tried 2 cheap shoulder planes, which now equals 0 usable shoulder planes. I look forward to getting the one you did to see how it is supposed to work!

Congrats on the new shoulder plane.
Watch it though they have a tendency to multiply very quickly..
I find the more furniture thats made for the house
the easier it is to put more toys in the shop....

Charles, you have come to the wrong support group meeting! This group is for people that have trouble building a desire for more tools. The other group meets on down the hall
Count me among the satisfied owners of an LV medium shoulder plane!!

That's going to be my next major purpose too. I know what you mean about having to tell somebody who cares.

Ben,
Can totally relate about the wife not being interested. You'd think with all that I do for her and all the attention she gets from me she'd be a little more interested in what I'm interested in. I do like the suggestion posted about buying more tools, then she would be interested. Since I haven't sprung for any hand planes yet this might be a good start. So should this LV medium shoulder plane be my first purchase? Aren't those made by Veritas.

LV/Veritas planes are awesome. And I've needed that very plane for too long...

I hope so Gary because you have A LOT of drawers to fill.
With skill and tool we put our trust and when that won't do then power we must.

That's my next plane!

I've got that plane and use it a lot. It's a great tool. I now have four Veritas planes, and am about to get another one. I have been very satisfied with all of their planes so far.
