Hey Guys...
Following up on what Neil said... I got a LN 5 1/2 awhile ago... I was going to get a #4 but I bought it from Rob Cosman here in Canada and he said cause of my size I'd be more comfortable with the larger one.... I can always get the high angle frog for it later as well.... but it did a great job in some birds eye ( thanks T-Mac ) so I'd say I don't need the other frog... save some $$$
I don't really know what to say, but just remember most of us do this as a hobby... some of these planes are a join to use and own, but by no means a necessity.... look and listen to what Tommy says... he is doing this for a living now and doesn't use a whole arsenal of planes... I'm going to use my 5 1/2 as much as I can and when I need something else I'll ask my wife's permission... and then go grab the tool
Tommy really helped me get sorted out with tool stuff.... its hard these days to get blinded by the magazines, internet sites and other podcasts that all revolve around advertisements and tool stuff.... when really what matters is what we're going to build with them...
....and thats what led to the more chop chop... less type type thing I threw out a few months ago....
we as woodworkers all dig tools, but everyone else out there would appreciate the furniture we build with the tools more than the tools themselves... know what I mean guys???... I don't know, whatever...
whoa... sorry for the length
