Do you own a plough plane?
Do you use it?
How do you find it works?
I got given a #43 record plough plane by my Dad. But frankly this thing has never been a pleasure to use.
So one thought I had was to buy some new blades and I got to wondering if the blades Lee Valley has for their plough plane would work? Anyone know I don't see why not.
But then I started reading about the LV plough plane here a write up by Chris Schwarz and with having seen their blade selection it got me thinking. Perhaps its just better to buy a modern version that's been better engineered.
So any of you have the Lee Valley Plough plane? I know some of you might know this as a Veritas tool but to me they all Lee Valley.
The cool thing now is the wide blade conversion capability check this video out.

So whats the verdict? I am thinking this would fit nicely into my Santa stocking.
