There's enough handplane lovers around here that this could be an informative question. What are your dream handplanes (handtools in general are acceptable)? I'm a sucker for the infills, so Norris and Preston would be at the top of my list. Of all of them….hmmm….probably a Norris panel plane (below) closely followed by a big Mathieson.

No Records here…except the vinyl type.

And, No Sheep…goats! Pregnant goats…baaahhh!

LOL.

Still get the feeling acrylic turned and shaped for handle replacements needs to be looked into…as soon as the industry makes thicker acrylic. Or, I really need to invest in a resin impregnation rig now… brace knobs, Buck Rogers knobs, Winchester knobs…who else used plastic?

I don't get to actually play today, but I do have plans drawn up on the computer for an infill scraper plane with the innards derived from the 112. Have some other planes to do first, so this one is down the list, but at least in my mind I can play!

Not solely because Lat says the #12 sucks, but I really do covet a #112. I've extensively scraped on exactly one project to date, so I'm not sure it's worth paying good $ for. Maybe one will fall from the sky, ala Bob?
