They are incredibly cute --- correct me if I'm wrong, the ones which have a listed scale are 1/3rd --- any ideas if the others are too far off from that?
They really make me want to buy the entire set and make a scale model tool chest/cabinet to hold them all....
I still think a few of them would be really useful for some of my projects, esp. the router plane and shoulder plane
John, I have the mini rabbet plane and it works perfectly. I do use it from time to time. I have no experience with the mini plow. Just advising that it is not only an amusement. It is a working tool. Out of curiosity, what is the use case you envision?
Others may have different opinions, but I bought the miniature chisels when they first came out and found them to be rather useless. They are just too difficult to hold - I wish the shaft was twice as long
Hi -
While all the miniatures work - clearly not all are equally useful.
Limiting ourselves to 1/3 scale (so all tools stay in proportion to each other) was a decision we made to challenge our designers, engineers, and manufacturing folks - and to learn new process. Keeping the prices where they are is a huge part of the challenge.
Geez - a functioning plow plane with wooden handle for less than $45??
They are what they are....the kittens of hand tools.
Cheers -

I'm having lots of fun envisioning as set of these along with a 1/3 scale workbench, and seeing my grandson standing in front of it with me at his side!
Wow!
It seems to me a display of technical prowess.
