One of the consequences of moving from Canada to Down Under is that I have to leave my woodworking machines behind because of the difference in electrical voltage and frequency. So I'm saying good bye to my table saw, jointer, thickness planer, router, jigsaw, drill press, sander, etc.
One possibility is to go to a deeper level of neander in the future. (The other is to build up the tool collection again). If so, what kinds of tools should I consider buying to replace the functionality that I'll be loosing. My current collection includes: bench chisels, a workbench, bevel up and bevel down hand planes, dovetail saws, Disston panel saws, spokeshave, and a router plane.
Things I might consider are: mortise chisels, plow plane, carcass/tenon saws, rabbet plane, scrub plane.
Has anyone converted to full being a full neander, and what was the experience like?
Thanks
Phillip
