Planes and more planes
Its interesting to see what people collect. Paul has a lot of vises, but Stig has planes.
You might remember Stig Schjervheims mousetrap from back in June. This time, hes sent over pictures of his plane collection, all of which he uses. Stig also has a nice take on the art of planing:
When it comes to meditation, nothing’s like the swooshing sound of a sharp plane on mellow wood. You start planing a board for a drawer front, getting intoxicated by the sound of blade against fiber. Before you know it your drawer front is planed down to paper thin, and you have to start over with another board. If it continues like this, you could always make a career making veneer sheets.

My set of 38 hollows and rounds. Not all from the same maker,
but still good for making any profile molding you can think of. |
 |
| My big panel raiser. For door panels. |
 |
Smaller panel raiser. For cabinet doors and such.
Had to replace the sole on this one. |
 |
| Tooth plane for veneering |

| Don’t even know what this is for. It’s Swedish. |

| I guess you would call this a fore plane. |
 |
| A couple of Stanley 45’s |

| A match plane for tongue and groove. |

Plough, or Plow plane depending
on if you are English or American I guess. |
