I would like to purchase a shoulder plane and I was wondering if there is a good value plane out there. Basically I do not have bottemless pockets but I am willing to put in the tuneup time to make an OK plane work great. I currently have 2 stanley planes. A block and a #4. Both of these were horrible out of the box but after trueing the sole, flattening and sharpening the blade they work great. So I guess I am looking for a workable shoulder plane. If there is nothing out there I will most likely wind up with the LV since I used both the LV and the LN at the last wood show I attended and liked the LV better.
Thanks in advance,
