So I am sharing my workshop with one of my sons friends, Brian, who is building a lot of guitars with exotic woods. I am working with a lot of QSWO and Hard maple, with a bit of Hickory and the like thrown in.
Our Lie Nielsen, Veritas and Stanley planes are performing flawlessly but alter this year I would possibly like to buy a used or affordable new infill. I know the Lazarus plane company builds some, who else or what else should I consider?
Thinking $500-4800, not $2000-$5000. I see a lot of used English/Scottish infill planes in that range. Where should i look and what should I look for?
More worried about a user grade tool, would actually prefer some of the patina of age and prior use...
