Very interesting. It looked like you were using it as a shoulder plane there? I guess the advantage/disadvantage is the lack of fore-foot to get into tight spaces, plus you can convert it into a chisel plane?
Absolutely, using a bullnose plane as a fat shoulder plane is a natural. Once you have the dado started it follows perfectly. And, yes, the big advantage of the bullnose is the very short forefoot. That allows you to get right up on stopped dados, then removing the toe/nose you can clean up the dado stop. There are so many uses for these planes I’ll be doing a separate video on it.
Cool demo. However, the Stanley plane you're showing isn't a good comparison with the Veritas. Look up the Stanley No. 90. That's a more accurate comparison
Thanks for the Demo!
You bet! Thanks for the comment!
The engineering on this is stellar. I see many gripes are addressed here.
Thanks for the demo!
I agree! The things is actually comfortable. Veritas really understands how a tool is going to be used.
Good demo!
Thanks, I very impressed by the design of this little plane. I can all kinds of uses for it.

👍 I don’t have one of those though . . . hint hint nudge nudge say no more say no more
