Hi guys,
I just noticed that Woodcraft now sells No. 1 hand plane for $120. I have (and use) a No. 2 on small boxes and the like. Ive been eyeballing LN's No. 1 for a while now. But a WR would suit me fine as a hobbiest.
But Ive heard/read that original No. 1s are scarce mainly because they werent very useful to the old timers. Do any of you have experience with a No. 1 (modern or original)? Is it really just a gimmick/toy or is it a useful tool for small projects?
I REALLY like and use my No. 2, so I got to wondering.
Thanks for your help.
Fred
