After several hours use, this plane does its job well.  It is light and smooth like only wooden planes can be.  The mouth and frog don’t jam as easily as modern planes, and its happy taking light or heavy cuts in anything from Fir to Oak.  ‘Tis a lovely thing being able to make the tools one needs.
