I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but I would like to know about block planes (low angle adjustable mouth) and makers. LN certainly gets good marks, though I don't have any of their planes myself. LV seems to also get good marks and be slightly less expensive. Of course there is Wayne Anderson who made one and has a pic on his website. Whew gorgeous, but out of my price range.
So tell me what's your favorite and why?
Next question is, what is the Japanese solution for a block plane. Would be hard to get a 12 degree wooden plane. How do the Japanese trim end grain, either freehand or on a shooting beam?
Any help is appreciated.
