You can't support that statement with facts. Every carpenter,
shipwright, and cooper had not just one plane, but probably a
number of them.

The old carpenters and cabinet makers had anywhere between 20 and 30

I have 2 wooden planes one 8 inches long for little jobs and the other
nearly 30 inches. great for doors and other long accurate cuts.
