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
different planes. Many were used to shape ogees.

Oh brother!!! An "ogee" IS a shape, not a thing to BE shaped.....
bloody ignorance......

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.

DOORS???? TO make drum doors needs a PLANE? Panel doors are NOT made
with 30" planes - it is used for TABLE TOPS! Didn't he learn anything
in school?

Whats the betting inger has a grandfather who was a carpenter ?

Certainly Mona George has no idea what the tools are for. The tools he
describes are NOT standard issue for "carpenters" they are
CABINETMAKERS tools. Nor is a "shipwright" a "carpenter" but far
closer to a cabinetmaker compared to a land-lubbers job.
