Just posting a question for some comments.
I have many different handplnaes ...Like most of us I'm sure. Mostly stanleys but a few Lie nielsen planes. All are users that I've picked up on ebay or as presents. The question concerns two in paticular. a Stanly sweatheart #2 and a bronze L/N #2. I was thinking of getting an IBC blade from woodcraft for the stanley and "tuning it up" , then putting the L/N on ebay...... or.... putting the stanley on ebay and keeping the L/N because it is already "tuned". I really do not find my self using ether very much (can't remember when actually). I just hate to part with stuff
Has anyone have any experiance with the IBC blades?
Does anyone feel that the #2 plane is a usefull size today or with so many really good block planes, are they just eye candy.
