I received one of these last week, and I have to say: this is the

(BTW, I have no financial connection to Lee Valley except that they
periodically get some of my money)

The large shoulder plane is ALSO tres cool! I started with the Medium
one, and then broke down and asked my family to place one under last
year's Christmas tree. They did. I use it as much as the medium one.

Only "periodically"? Me too. In fact I'm running out of things
that I'd consider "must haves" for myself. I've been thinking about the
new 22" plane, though...
