I know that several of you use Shephard planes, and I was wondering if any of you have the Shephard (#8, I believe) shoulder plane in 1-1/4" or 1-1/2". If so what are your impressions? Right now I would like to limit my shoulder planes to one, so I would like a larger plane than the .70 LV. I would like a real shoulder plane (not the LV 60-1/2R). That seems to limit me to the large LN, a Clifton, a used Record, or the Shephard. I emailed Ben, and he was kind enough to get right back to me. Before I commit the amount required, I thought that I would ask. Anyway thanks for your help. (Choices, Choices. Yes, I know, I over think these things. )
