Rather than hijack another thread, I'll start a new one. I find myself switching my favorite planes depending upon what I am doing. I got a LN #7 from a 'creeker a few years back. Every time I use it, it becomes my favorite plane. There is something about the shavings coming off of the big plane that is really appealing. When I use my curved spokeshave, I feel like I should find something else to use it on. My little adjustable mouth block plane is so easy to adjust and cuts so well, that it is seldom off the bench. The router plane is wonderful and has a permanant place in my heart. I have an old Stanley #5 that was my grandfather's. It is reached for preferentially over others. It goes like this...
So, my question is this, do others experience these shifting loyalties as well or am I just fickle?
