I'm a passionate woodworking enthusiast of over 30 years, with an interest in the methods of pre-industrial joiners and cabinetmakers. I'm a furniture maker, teacher, and author, and I share my thoughts and experiences with the goal of educating and inspiring others who are pursuing the craft of traditional woodworking. In addition to writing about and teaching traditional woodworking, I also build commission pieces for customers, and speak at woodworking shows and seminars.
Why do you say that the low angle jack plane cannot be flipped and used to “ shoot” form the other direction? Mine is completely square to the sole both sides. It doesn’t know which direction it is going
I don’t say that (and if I did it was in error). The dedicated shooting planes like the #51 and Veritas version cannot be flipped to shoot from both directions. The low angle jack can just fine.
