Purchased No. 6 hand plane in conjuction with Rob's preparation service. Also hand grip to utilise with a shooting board.
Rob actually called from Canada to Australia to discuss his preference of a 5 1/2 plane. We discussed the issues I have with my shoulder and how to accommodate my limitations. You do not receive that level of specialised commitment, advice and general input to assure that one is purchasing the appropriate product.
Purchased a Wood River hand plane which is of superior quality especially having regard of what is available in Australia.
If I knew of the various products which Rob sells (many of which Rob has published a U-tube video relating to the item) upon commencing my journey with woodworking, I would not have wasted so much money on purchasing inferior products.
Rob's honesty and belief in what he sells, is refreshing.
