I recently decided that I needed to add a shoulder plane to my stable. I ordered and received a Veritas Large Shoulder Plane. I'm very impressed with the quality and ease of use. It was pretty sharp right out of the box. However, I'm thinking that it may be too large for my hands and the scale of work I anticipate doing with it. I may order the medium size Veritas to try out, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Stanley 92 or 93 or the Lie-Neilsens that you could share. The Stanleys are a good bit lower in cost, but I would be willing to pay some premium to ensure good quality.
