    It’s been a while since I bought a plane, but I see two ways of going about it:

    1. Buy Once, Cry Once. If budget allows, get a Lie Nielsen or something super nice. I personally think the Wood River plans are great, too.

    2. Refurbishment. Buy an old Stanley from an antique store or estate sale or whatever (not eBay) and restore it. You’ll have to invest in a granite stone to flatten the sole plus some sandpaper, scotch Brite pads, etc. You’re trading money for time and sweat here, but you could end up with a perfectly usable and quality plane.

    Either way, a plane is only good as your sharpening system. Invest in something good and easy to use (or you won’t use it).

    For your application, I would recommend you first take steps to make your stock as square as possible. If your reference edge has a twist, bow, or cup, trying to plane or shoot something flush is going to be a nightmare.

    Check out Paul Sellers or Rob Cosman. They have great educational and instructional videos on YouTube and other platforms and mediums. Hope this was helpful!

    I agree with you except for the fact that there’s just so much bullshit for kids out there, and parents are so exhausted right now (both are working and working longer). So it’d be nice if there was a system that actually looked out for children and people instead of businesses.

    At the end of the day, though, it is still the parents’ responsibility. It just sucks that this person can wipe their hands of things and think that sufficient.

    I dunno… That seems a like disingenuous to make a game specifically for kids and then take no responsibility for what children are exposed to on said game. I’m all for parents taking responsibility and believe that’s a problem with many families today, but that just seems a shitty thing for him to say, IMHO.
