A Record number 3 is the most recent plane I've added to my collection, and I really like it. I set it really fine and use it for finessing small areas. I also have a GTL brass plane which is the same size.
When I'm doing a lot of planing I'll have three or four planes set up. A scrub plane to...
Interesting. Nice to see a variety of blades available for the router planes.
I'll have to scratch my low angle plane itch one day but I'm resisting for now :)
Hard to fault that advice, though I'd add the caveat ""with a plunge base" as many of the big name good quality ones have that option. Whereas some of the cheap 1/4" routers that look like 1/2" routers don't have the flexibility of either a 1/2" router or a 1/4" with multiple base options.
My experience:
Multitool - Not used a lot but when you need it, it's usually needed to do something in an awkward spot so having a cordless one is a real boon.
Orbital sander - Using it with a vacuum is essential IMO - it makes sanding so much more comfortable and the sander works better if...
It looks like a standard generic number 4. It looks like Hilka are still operating: https://hilka.co.uk/no-4-jack-plane-43909504.html
It should work fine. Check the bottom is reasonable flat, and give the blade a good sharpen and see how you get on.
Do you already have any chisels?
If yes: You don't need many chisels. 3 or 4 will be enough for most jobs. On your budget (£60?) I'd buy two good chisels. 1/4" and 3/4" perhaps. Ashley isles are in that budget and excellent.
If no: I'd recommend buying a cheap set. I started with a set of...
I bought a second hand 6030 recently and am really pleased with it. It's definitely a step up from my DBO180Z. Much less vibration, and with a vacuum attached it produces very little dust. It is a very effective sander.
The Veritas saws are a very affordable pathway into hand saws. I prefer the older style saws, but a new one is likely to cost you at least twice the price of the Veritas.
The cheapest route is second hand, but there is a lot of variation and I think you need to learn to sharpen saws before you...
Hand saw for small bits would definitely be my recommendation. Japanese saws are a popular solution, but I'd recommend a crosscut carcass saw. Something like the Veritas carcass saw would be a good start. And the first thing to make using it would be a bench hook.
Even if you eventual do buy...
