Let’s play a get-to-know-you game. Just a little ice-breaker since we’re here anyway. We’ll go around in a circle and everyone will answer the following question:
If you were stuck on a deserted island with only Tom Hanks, a volleyball named Wilson, and one, yes, only one hand plane of your choice, what plane would you choose?
We’ll start. And we bet you think we’re going to say the No. 3 since this is, after all, a listing for a number three. If that’s your guess, you’d be wrong. It would be a chisel plane. Why? Because it seems like it would be quite helpful when stuck on a remote island to be able to hunt and defend ourselves. The chisel plane’s exposed edge strikes us as the best option.
What does any of this have to do with the No. 3 plane we’re offering for sale? Nothing, really. We got distracted.
But the point we’re trying to make is this—the No. 3 is, bar-none, our hands-down, unequivocal, and unapologetic favorite size smoothing plane.
And this No. 3 is a doozy. Three—count ‘em—three patent dates behind the frog ladies and gentlemen. We all know what that means. Everyone’s favorite “type 11.” Amazing japanning, amazing rosewood furniture, and sweetheart iron that doesn’t make sense if you’re following a type study (see note about “types” in the “About” section of the website). In other words, everything you could ever want or need in a No. 3, conveniently presented as a No. 3!
