Am I alone in thinking the wooden come and go planes are a PITA? Setting one
side unsets the other. I sold mine years ago. And why buy one plane when you can
buy 2? I have a coupla-three pairs in the usual sizes, but I haven't used them
in forever. Then again, I haven't been doing much woodworking in a few years.
Guess I'd better get cracking.

And just this morning I was mulling on the best way to plank the back of a
carcass I'm mulling on, T&G or rabbet. Maybe I should try T&G.

I have all of the tools mentioned by others, woodie pairs, coming and
going, and Stanley 48 / 49 (yeah, and multi-metal, but we'll skip that).
The wooden pairs and 48 / 49 are the most fun to use.  The coming and going
(both metal and wood) just aren't as comfy in the hand, but were found
first.     Obviously, if I hadn't bought the coming and going, the pairs
and 48/49 would never have shown up.

The first thing you should do is decide what size boards you will be
working with, and then narrow your search accordingly.  I've gotten decent
deals on all of mine by being patient.  Josh has them show up every so
often.  If you let us know what size, we can keep an eye out too.

Kirk in HMB, CA, hoping for another fun weekend of tool hunting.
