I purchased this plane, although not form amazon.com so frustratingly I did pay a little over the odds. It is an excellent hand tool. It is not difficult to set up, just follow the instructions, it is also imperative that the tool is honed before use. I just resharpened mine a few days ago and I have to say I still can not get over how good it is.

2.0 out of 5 stars nice plane but handles are too small, March 21, 2003

This is a nice plane but the rear handle is too small for my hand. That makes it uncomfortable to use. I will try to find a larger handle or it will make a nice gift for a smaller person.

I have been reading alot about planes and, I figured I would try this one out. The price seemed very reasonible, you can spend anywhere upto and over $300.00 for a plane. I only took it out of the box last night and just ran it over afew scraps of wood. I haven't been able to really set it up properly or I should say the way it is explained in various wood publications..So far it appears tobe a good tool and works pretty well i'll write alittle more when I get more experience with this plane. I have been working with wood for the last 20 years but have only gotten into pretty heavy the last two years and I have always avoided working with a plane once you get it down it should go ok
