| Although when returning to Scotland after my apprenticeship I had accumulated a few wood filled planes for using I was never all that bothered about trying to acquire Norris planes preferring Spiers planes. That was until I purchased this handsome plane. It is a very early NORRIS of London No. 17 steel based gunmetal coffin-shaped smoothing plane with gunmetal lever cap, rosewood infill and original Norris thick parallel iron and back iron. I have to confess now that this is the smoothing plane I use all the time, I can't heap enough praise on it, it just goes to show that when Norris first started they did make top quality planes which would rival anything. Since purchasing this plane I have always been on the look out for an adjustable version but with today's valuation on such planes I will just have to be grateful with this non adjustable version. |
