Hi Bob, thanks. Charity shop purchase. I keep my pencils, pens and folding rule inside 👌.

I totally agree with you but I guess thats the difference between a woodworker and a tool collector. The T5 does have a little more heft for trimming end grain on really hard woods but so does a 5 1/2 which is what i use.Great video and my view exactly, save your money for some nice wood!!

Thanks, David. The biggest difference which I didn't mention was sharpness. The Record was not as sharp as the Stanley and was unsurprisingly harder to use. Regardless of what we use the key is staying sharp! Thank you for the comment.

T5 is a great plane :) 778 and 044C are awesome as well yet there are zero videos about them o youtube

@@faceedgewoodworking Thanks for the offer but I already have one :) I agree with you that it does not offer too much added value than, say, a regular No. 5, but it is well made plane and if you compare it to any of the other special-made shooting board planes, vintage or new, it is a bargain :) at least that is how I feel about it but I am a huge Record fan so maybe I am biased :)

Another great money-saving video, thank you. I have made a shooting board and, like many things I do in woodworking, it sometimes works very well and at other times I struggle. I was intrigued by your comment that your wooden plane wasn’t set up for this work. Is there a difference between the set-up for normal planing and for shooting? If there is a way of optimising a plane for shooting end-grain I would be very interested in trying it.

@@faceedgewoodworking Excellent! I look forward to seeing it.

i think that some people are more interested in the tools than the work that can be done with them. i just bought a job lot of no5 planes originally from a technical college and can say most of them held up short of one that was poorly cast around the weakest point, the mouth. A bigger issue with the lot is near every movable part has been shuffled between them.

Hi Zack. Nothing wrong with that, it's just keeping the balance so people don't get the fear of missing out. Certain specialist tools can be essential but those purchases can be figured out way down the road. Nice score on the planes 👌

@@faceedgewoodworking True indeed, i have a couple of older relatives who've amassed many tools, never using them, hesitant to lend them and very keen to purchase the next article to improve their non existent work, so pardon me if I sounded to resentful. frustrated is probably the best fit, youth and age both have their challenges.

Had one for a while but sold it, just didn't use it that much and didn't feel it was that great on the shooting board either... It is a nice looking plane though

Snap! It's a curiosity and perhaps a gimmick. Thanks for the comment, Thomas.

I think it was easier for kids to use, slightly heavier than a no5 yes, but shorter, the wider wing jus adds to its functionality too I reckon...... kids likely werent very used to using a plane on its side and would tip the normal plane. Ironically, things that are expensive or collectable now, are tools that were basically useless back in the day. Theyre rare coz not many were bought, not many were bought coz it wasnt needed. I have a T5, and I do use it for shooting ends square when im gonna be dovetailing...... its fine on a shooting board for the likes of drawers or boxes, but small cases or cabinets and the plane doesnt have the mass to carry through the cut on such a wide part. When a part gets wide like that il jus plane it in a vice, still with the T5....... I do consider it my end grain plane tbh 🤷😆
