The router plane seems to be having a bit of a popularity surge lately with prices of older models climbing as a result. Over the last few years my old Stanley 71 1/2 (on the left) has become a firm favourite with students attending my joints courses, several have gone off and added a router plane to their own tool kits as a result 😅 Last year I treated myself to a new Lie-Nielsen no71 (on the right) as with all LN tools it’s beautifully made and works perfectly, it’s a little more user friendly too 😁 #handtoolthursday (at David Stephenson Bespoke Furniture Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdvwwDQjqvy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
