Here is Paul Sellers on planes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10RPOPBTwZA He is a British woodworker and has a number of great videos - one memorable one is building a wonderful bench outdoors under a tree with hand tools. Three things to note about this video: He sets his planes down on the bench on their soles He does not lift the planes on the return stroke He is planing straight grained wood,not figured Great stuff |

For the most part I agree with Mr. Sellers. Wooden soled planes can work very well but require more maintenance and do eventually wear down. A well tuned Bailey pattern plane works as well as and adjusts more easily than most other hand planes. I'd still like to have an old rosewood stuffed infill plane. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")
