Shoulder Planes
Tool Review

Shoulder planes come in all sizes, shapes, and price ranges, making the task of choosing one daunting. To make your choice easy, we put six models in the hands of Tim Peters, a master furnituremaker, hand-tool aficionado, and head of the woodworking department at Orange Cost College in Cost Mesa, California.

This tool review was featured in the May 2008 issue of WOOD magazine.
