I’m still fond of my plane. The tool that planes against the grain.
Reminds me. Many years ago, my Dad decided to adjust the bottom of a door after having a new carpet.
He didn’t use a plane. Decided to go with a jigsaw.
The adjustment was neither straight or precise. It was just about possible to limbo underneath.
I have no qualms with getting some of the cheap and cheerful tools. They generally do for me as a DIYer instead of a craftsmen.
I haven’t had a walk round Hemswell for many years, but they had a variety og vintage tools. You can tell the difference in the quality of steel used from some of today’s cheapo chinese fodder.
