You mentioned you wanted a Veritas Skew rabbet plane. I had one,
didn't like it, and sold it. There were three problems with it.

1. There wasn't a good place to put your off hand, I always put it
between the two posts, and would cut myself on the blade. I ended up
putting a piece of tape over the corner of the blade (usually after
cutting myself and remembering the problem).
2. The center of mass of the plane wasn't above the blade, so the
plane leaned off the work and I could never get a perpendicular cut.
After using skew rabbet plane I ended up using a shoulder plane to fix
it.
3. The adjustment controls drove me nuts. Who in their right mind
wants the left right controls of the iron coupled with up down? I
resorted to hammer taps.

I sold it a few years ago, but bring the plane up whenever my says
tools only enter the house but never leave. I lost money on the deal,
but having a story to counter my wife's argument is way more valuable.

I now use a wooden moving fillister plane, which I like a lot better.

Thanks,
Chris
