So Lee Valley is bringing me a pile of tools in a week or so... http://www.leevalley.com/en/home/page.aspx?p=69543&. I'm pretty happy with the tools I have, but there are a lot (especially joinery related) that I have no experience with and no idea what to look for.
I need help choosing what to buy! Here are some specific things I am wondering
- What sizes should I be looking at for tongue and groove planes?
- What are the most useful planes for doing the joinery for drawers?
- What should I be looking at in terms of size for a rabbet plane, and should I be looking skew or not?
- Are there any other planes I should buy? Specifically, I've never used any hollows or rounds, or any
- I have the Veritas carcass (2-3/8" depth of cut) and dovetail saws. What other depths of backsaw should I be looking at?
other sort of molding planes.
- I've got a couple handsaws (26") and am very happy cleaning up and sharpening them. Right now I've got a 4 ppi ripsaw and 11 ppi crosscut, what other sizes (either length or tooth count) should I be looking for to get my stable increased a bit?
I'm not planning on adding power to my shop at any point in the future, so if there's anything I should take advantage of here for that will be useful in the future I would be very happy for the advice. Going to be a great weekend!
