My care package from Lee valley arrived yesterday (heh-heh). I had some brass hinges, screws, magnets and magnet cups in it. I had decided that if they were shipping this stuff, they might as well include a bevel up plane. That's how the iron was in the box. It's not really big iron ( like a #7), but the Jack plane. I guess you could call it medium iron. After I honed the A3 iron, (3/16" thick) I messed around with it. I bought it to use on a shooting board, but I think it could become one of my handplanes of choice. I ordered the 25 degree iron. I think it would be a better smoother with the 38 degree iron. Those of you that have the plane, do you use the 38 degree iron?
It really is a nice tool to use. :-)
