"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
And that is what has happened.

Re: Considering a jointer (Derek Cohen (in Perth, Australia))
In the end, I received the most wonderful surprise - one of our number offered to give me a jointer plane made by David Finck! I am really looking forward to it.
All in all this has been a great thread - lots of excellent comments here and on SMC. Many thanks to all of you who responded.

I have a BU Jack (Veritas) and I'd disagree. While a low angle blade will give you issues with tear out, you have the option of multiple blades (or grind angles) that will handle anything. This includes LA block planes like a 60 1/2. In retrospect, I kind of wish I'd gone with all BU planes. A Smoother, Jack, and Jointer would cover everything I'd need as far as bench planes.
Sharp solves all manner of problems.
