me too! I wanted a nice no. 5 because I have a cheap Record from the 80s (I presume) that I restored and modified with new tote and knob, but it's far from being a good tool. adjustment's are finicky and it's quite uncomfortable.

But it's hard to justify 400€ on just a plane. unfortunately Woodcraft does not ship in Italy. yesterday I tried with their customer care to place an order but credit card won't collaborate 😂

so it's either the Lie Nielsen on my record 😑

Aren’t there any Stanley’s on eBay? There’s loads available in the uk, not sure if they’d ship to Italy. It is hard to make a cheap plane work well!

Yes plenty! That's where my focus is at right now. I miss restoring planes and every once in a while it's a project that I like to undertake.

But for once I wanted a premium 😁

Looks like I'm going to buy some paint and rust remover 😂😂
