Also worth noting that the Quangsheng planes that workshop heaven sell are very nearly as good as the Lie Nielsen ones.
Both are made from the bailey / bedrock pattern.
Both are exceptionally well made and come guaranteed against manufacturing and material defects for the life of the purchaser.
The Lie Neilsen stuff has extra plane pr0n points but Quangsheng is developing a cult following.
I bought one of the Quangsheng rebating block planes as I don't use it enough to justify anything pricier and it's great. Body is fantastic the iron is as good as my other block plane I have 2 very small gripes:
- The adjustment screw on my Lie Neilsen is nicer (both in terms of operation and quality of knurling on the knob) but not by much.
- It didn't come with a sock so when it's being stored condensation will form on it which means I need to clean it more often.
Still a very, very nice bit of kit and worth every penny

Hard to find in stock, or I'm not looking in the right places. Any others apart from this?
