Can anyone recommend a particular L-N MODEL? I saw DON W's post on the old site and he said the Small Block Plane was great ( I assume that is the 12 degree model?). I appreciate all feedback! |

Don, When building, what are you using this plane for? Which processes? Would it be a good one for brace shaving, or is it too big? Jeff |

Click here for the handiest little plane on the planet for brace shaving, bottom of the page.... 
A friend sent me one that belonged to her Dad. Kunz plane, mine doesn't have the squirrel tail, but that looks interesting and probably very comfy. |

Thanks Bruce, I have one of those... Somogyi turned me on to them. Very inexpensive but does a wonderful job. I was just thinking of treating myself to a Lie-Nelsen but they have so many models and they are too expensive to just buy a couple to experiment. |

Bruce I have one of those Kunz planes too...the one with the handle off the back. It's a great little plane for the money... I bought it, and as I usually do, took it home and flattened and polished the sole and sharpened the iron. It's a very sweet little plane. I think one of the best buys out there for a small plane. |

Don, I agree, the little Kunz given to me quickly became my favorite for brace sides. Spruce cuts easily with the grain, and a sharp little Kunz makes short work of shaping for sure. Kunz plane at Diefenbachers

I recently bought the L-N 102 12* block plane. The performance is as awesome as its looks. I have several small planes which I have fastidiously lapped perfectly flat to a miror finish and razor sharpened the blades. They work quite well...but NOTHING like this plane right out of the box. I'm absolutely sold on their quality. I just love working with planes and I will definitely purchase a big boy L-N one of these days. |
