Good Woodworking Magazine – Bath, U.K
There can’t be many readers who haven’t inherited a wooden plane from a wood working relative, or bought one from a car boot sale. They’re usually soon relegated to the back of the shed in favour of the good old Bailey pattern metal planes. This is a pity, as a properly tuned wooden plane is a joy to use. Shrewd users of steel planes will probably swap its thinner iron for the superior thicker version from a wooden one.
Popular Woodworking Magazine – August 2000
Surfing one of our favorite Internet newsgroups the other day (rec.woodworking), I happened upon some posts by a plane maker named Steve Knight.After checking out his website (www.knight-toolworks.com), we had Knight send us a sample of his work. Most wooden bodied planes that come through our offices end up as paperweights. However, his 8 1/2″ smoother has earned a place in our shop. It comes out of the box sharpened and ready to go. Proof of this are some test shavings taped into the plane’s mouth. A nice touch.
