This was one of the first tools I purchased from Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. I had been watching Roy Underhill talk about hand tools for a little while and I wanted to try my hand at it. Woodworking looked easy and fun! So, I went out to a woodworking store and bought three planes. The purchase felt like a lot of money at the time. I went home and unboxed these items to find tooling marks, iron filings between the frog and bed, dings in handles, blades not at right angles...it was rough. I was so disappointed.
I didn't have the know-how to fix these tools up but I felt like I shouldn't have to for that much money. I went online and found someone recommending Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. I had no idea what that was but I ordered three planes. This plane was one of them. When it finally came and I handled the tool, I couldn't help but smile.
Since then, the 62 has been a tool I regularly use to quickly dimension roughed boards. I love the moderate length but somewhat light feel and the adjustable mouth is super handy for all kids of work.| Plane Length, in | 14 |
