So sorry I didn't know you are in Canada... anyway the 220H shown
here on "our" amazon does not show finger-digs on the sides and does
show the plastic knob. I wouldn't buy the thing. I would buy their #5
though, but I'd rather have the Stanley 5 1/2 for width.

What is the bed angle... the place / bevel where the back of the blade
rests against the mouth [throat]?

Anyway, with all the plight [#3-noun] you have with this plane, you
STILL have entirely the proper attitude of a real craftsman. Okay? It is
what it takes to turn "nothing" into an actual "something". Don't let go
of it.

P. S. ... "noooooob" here. Just collecting tools so I can start learning.
