One of the things that I found really really really frustrating when I 
first got into this was a general sense of tool-snobbery pervading the 
woodworking community. You have to have the latest and greatest plane. 
Bailey's design is inferior.


  Yeah, that is what they all spout, whilst sitting on their butts. 
Funny thing about that.
  I don't see any of them knee deep in shavings of any kind. Ever.
People who think they can "buy their way in" make me laugh out loud.
  People who believe in the snobs, are just chumps, suckers, Marks.

    If you can't get a type 6 to 18 Bailey plane to work and work 
stunningly? Boxcar loads of shavings in just about any wood? End grain too?
   You are a pisspoor example of a woodworker, plain and simple.

  OH PS, if you come up with a better plane adjustment scheme than 
Leonard Bailey? One that will last over 150 years and be copied by 
everyone in the business?
  You be sure to let me know.

  PPS If you genuinely think you can beat out my old beater planes? 
Actual performance in grueling real life work? Please come over here and 
show me. Please.
     yours Scott
