Bench Planes - Which Ones Do You Buy First - A 3 Minute Overview
Channel: Small Workshop Guy
Date: 03/01/2018

Designed for the person who is considering adding bench planes to their workshop for the first time and want to understand them better without getting too confused.  See below....

Recommend a Low Angle Jack Plane vs a regular Jack Plane for a beginner.  RenaissanceWW makes a case below that perhaps the first plane you buy is a Smoothing Plane (#4 or #4 1/2) if you already have basic power tools (Jointer and Thickness Planer).

Being an Old Dog outrunning the Grim Reaper for now but who could lose that race any day, I splurged on the Lie-Nielsen "Made in America" #4 Smoothing Plane,  the Lie-Nilsen #62 Low Angle Jack Plane, the Lie-Nielsen Rabbit Block Plane and the Lie-Nielsen Large Router Plane.  I want my heirs to think fondly of me.
