Planes
Planes are the workhorses of the workshop. The sizes required are largely down to personal preference, with the No. 5 or 5 1/2 'Jack' (Jack of all trades!) being probably the most versatile. All the planes stocked are ready to use straight from the box, but they will benefit from a little fine tuning!
Planes - Bench
Bench planes are the workhorses of the workshop. The sizes required are largely down to personal preference, with the No. 5 or 5 1/2 'Jack' being probably the most versatile.
Planes - Block
The Block Plane is a very versatile small plane that fits nicely in one hand. When fitted with an adjustable mouth it can be set up for fine trimming and finishing work, as well as quick stock removal.
Planes - Shoulder
Used for fitting joints such as tenons. These planes are able to get right into corners to create crisp right-angles. Also very useful for copying mouldings and creating cross-grain mouldings.
Planes - Specialist
These planes are designed for very specific, tricky jobs, that no other tools will accomplish so easily.
