Description
These days the shop plane is an overlooked device, it's not used that much any more. However it's still useful to have, as it's great for un-sticking a door, best of all it doesn't need power. But it still needs adjusting and sharpening. However back in the day the plane was used for everything. Cleaning and edge, flattening a board, shaping a boat, even making molding. A typical shop may have several hundred planes. Being carpenters they could make these planes themselves. All they needed was a blacksmith to make the blade.
