Next question, will stanley brand planes hold up well enough for a 2
or 3 time per month usage?


I've got a couple in the ~100 year old range, so yeah.

New Stanley's are generally regarded as crappy. Old Stanley's are
abundantly available on *bay, flea markets, yard sales, whatever.

If you have the budget for it, Veritas (www.leevalley.com) or Lie-
Nielsen make really nice ones (www.lie-nielsen.com)

Check out www.supertool.com for the canonical list of all Stanley's ever
made.

Others, I'm sure, will chime in with more information ...
