Wow, that sucker sure is sweet! 3 quick passes over a fat tenon and the
joint is good to go. (It was a Christmas present that I had asked for,
but hadn't used until today. Previously all I'd done is hone and polish
it. I had also taken a few swipes across some scrap, but there's
nothing like using it "for real" to get a perfect M/T fit)

Highly recommended.

Thank you; that's nice to hear, as mine should be arriving tomorrow.

Yeah, although mine tends to sit unused, while I have to blow through some
projects more suited to pockets screws and biscuits...

It's a very well designed and made handplane. Glad you like yours.

After sharpening, I find I use it a great deal. Its almost always on my
bench.

It sure is! I love mine.

Cutting a tenon just a scootch fat and dry fitting with that tool is
pure joy. I also have the large and chisel / bullnose version,
they're just as good.

Have fun,.

Even sweeter to use it as a shoulder plane and trim cheeks as required with
a LN rabbet block....
