What’s it called when you start a new hobby thinking you’ll just need “the basics” then two weeks later, you start seriously thinking you need to spend 3 grand on kit?
Well that has happened to me. I want to get a woodworking plane, but everything I’ve seen on Workshop Heaven or Axminster is over £100.
Surely you don’t need to spend that much to get a good plane?
At the other end of the scale, I saw a £10 Blackspur plane in The Range today, but online reviews reckon it’s shit.
Yes, I know I can get an old Stanley plane on eBay for £40ish and restore it, and yes that could be fun, but before I do…
…Is there a brand new No 5 plane available, for under £60, that is worth having?
Thank you 🙂
