I’ve had my Sterling Toolworks plane about a week. Since I use it primarily for molding planes and smoothers, I’ve found it to work extremely well. I love n9t having to pick up a two separate tools every time I adjust the blade. Your point about it having insufficient mass to adjust larger planes is well take; I also found it didn’t work well on my wooden try plane and joiner plane. For me, however, it’s a great tool for 90% of my work with wooden planes. I’d recommend it to anyone who uses hollows and rounds and other wooden molding planes.
I still like my Sterling and use it. But asI said and you confirmed for anything from a smoother on up it doesn't have the mass. Plus I broke two wooden heads and now only use the nylon head. But again it's a beauty. Someday someone will make a plane hammer that will do it all but for now I use two and compromise.
@@expatluthierinthephilippin6441 I make my own spuds. I find if I turn a spud that is more conical rather in shape, it's less likely to chip off. I'll send you one if you pay shipping. I would like a bigger version of the same tool as well. I'm not sure it would be possible to make one size that would work for every situation. I'd certainly buy one if it were available.
@@dingolab I would imagine if there were more weight to the brass side the utility of the tool would be increased. I have a lignum vitae plane hammer with enough mass and a hard lignum head that I can use it to wrap my other planes. But it doesn't have a brass end. And yes I would love another spud.
