Your Favorite Plane

[Terek Johnson]

O.K. gang,
You're stranded on a desert island and you can take only one thing with you... a hand plane. Of all the planes you own, which one would you take with you?
P.S. everyone have a happy Thanksgiving!

Lie-Nielsen BU jack.

[Tim Martin]

a HNT Gordon smoother.....beautiful hand made smoother with a high angle, which also converts to a scraper plane when you flip the blade around.

[Philip Duffy]

607 Bedrock with corrugated bottom. Without question it is capable of everything, including a thousandth of an inch cut anywhere I ask of it. Phil

[Terry Bigelow]

604 1/2 with Hock iron & chip breaker. Hefty, solid and just the right size...big, but not too big.

[Gary Herrmann]

A giant woodie big enough to paddle home in

- that I own? LV BU Jack

[Terry Hatfield]

Type 2 604C with LN blade.

Puts a smile on my face every time I use it.

If I were stranded on a desert island, the plane I would take would be a Cessna.

[Joe Rogers]

L-N 60 1/2 adjustable mouth block plane. It may take a while but I think I could do anything I needed with it.JR

[Mark Singer]

ECE 711 Reform Smoother

[JayStPeter]

Something with an iron large enough to form an Axe

[Jim Becker]

LN low-angle block plane...but Jay's idea ain't bad!

Favorite or most useful? On a desert island, a plane's not exactly the most important tool.

The plane that always makes me feel the most warm fuzzy vibes is my Wards Master No. 4 - it just flat handles like a fine Italian sports car, right after the mechanic has tuned it up. One main difference between it and a fine Italian sports car is that it doesn't need constant tune up, but that's a different matter...

My 5 1/4. I love that little thing!
