Having your hobby live on a tight budget, you have to save and buy up. This can take month and requires a great deal of patience. Well, my patience is paying off. I had saved up so that I could buy a few tools. One that I’m very excited about is a Lee Valley/Veritas Low Angle Jack Plane.
I already have a Leigh-Nielsen Jack Plane. I’ve got this one set up as a rough tool. I wanted another plane about the size of a Jack for doing slightly finer work, much like a Jointer Plane but not as long. Some boards are just too small for using the Jointer but smaller planes like Block Planes are too small for the board.
Another way would be to get a different blade but I also wanted the benefits of the low angle plane so I figured it would compliment my other hand planes.
