I don't follow type studies, but MF are some of my favorite tools. The planes I like, are those with the articulating lever cap.

I absolutely love the design and workmanship, however stylistically they would not work in our formal, Georgian style home!

Beautiful work, as we typically have come to expect! May I ask to detail how you make the spines for the backsaws?

Look closer to Stanley modern planes. In any case, choice is ours, as consumers. For me, I'll support innovation and thumb my nose at copycats.

On my list as well. Way back in the 70s and early 80s we used a Stanley box for trim, but none had the trip clamp. I suppose the old guys thought it added time to our tasks?

Post: RE: Rusted Jointer top Table and guide
Remove the fence and gray Scotch-Brite pad with WD-40. No need to get perfect, but clean it and use the jointer. Keep it well waxed and every so often, work a bit more on the rust.
