Ohhhhhh now that is a pretty sight ! ! !
You sure have the bases covered there (well maybe a scrub plane if you want to get really crazy but I bet the guys will tell you where to come by one of those for practically free and they don't have to be all precise or anything just R O B U S T).
Anyway . . . I LIKE YOUR STABLE !
I look forward to seeing all the fine things you will be building with your new planes.

Sounds like you missed Derek's thread "Center of Effort II".Veritas that the traditional handle, as used and practiced in the 18th century, is no longer under patent protection. What were they thinking?
Do take a gander when you can.
I'm happy with my Veritas totes. The LN jack tote hurts me (bruised sensation in palm) not the Veritas.

It is brilliant for making the tenon cheeks parallel with the faces of a straight rail etc.Not sure why I purchased the router plane.....hmmm.
Can attach a larger home made base to it for even more stability but not all that necessary.
Super easy to take a set amount off evenly. Is trickier with a plane.
Still need the big 'O shoulder plane for the shoulders though.

Shame on you for blaming others.
Get in the shop and use those great planes.

Rich,
In case you are interested LN makes a woodworking bench. Had mine delivered 1 month ago and have enjoyed it every day. There is a silver lining. They take 2-3 months due to the backlog and you won't have to pay until they are ready to start making yours. Just another thing to blame on the forum.

Glen,
I actually have a decent bench in the basement. It's an all wooden Shopsmith bench made from beech wood. I will make the maple workbench to fit the shop. Hope to complete it this year for the past 50th birthday.

Nice collection
I am just starting to dip my toe into the hand plane pond (no4 and no7 so far) and went back and forth on a router plane or shoulder plane. I settled on the LV router plane and got the string in-lay addition. I am working on a desk in federal style; I cannot believe how much I use it and how well it works. It is really a phenomenal little tool

Slope?! You guys had a slope?
My was just a straight dead drop. My wife has forbade me from buying anymore planes (new or used) until I build a tool cabinet.
Nice purchase, Rich!

I keep trying, but she has this sneaky habit of asking for more things when I'm done with the current project for her.
