Ive done a lot of wood projects over the years but I generally use sanding over planing, which hasnt exactly made the job much easier at times. I made a few projects over the last few weeks and bought a 12inch disk sander to work on them but all it was doing was marring the wood around the spot I really needed to smooth down to the rest of the surface, leaving me even more sanding. At homedepot I saw a tiny $10 plane and ended up buying it to see how it'd deal with some of the smoothing / shaping I needed to do, and it worked out great. So I wanted to look for a good quality plane, small but not a hand cutter like the one Id just bought. This #1 from WoodRiver fit the bill and from what I can tell from playing around with it for quite a few hours its going to be exactly what i need. I love the very fine adjustment on the blade depth. It'll easily shave off even strips thinner than a sheet of notebook paper. Best money Ive spent on a tool in a long time. Probably going to buy a larger model over the next couple weeks. Glad I paid the extra and got this WR instead of settling for junk from another company.

I was very impressed with the Quality of this little plane. All I had to do was to put a micro bevel on the Blade in within 5 mins I was making paper thin ribbons. I Think I will order a 5 1/2 jack Plane next month. Great job guys!!!!!
