[pianotech] Chisel Planes and Tool Junkies

[William Truitt]

Nice thought, William.  But for me, it's one thing to hold a used tool in my
hand at a tag sale, another to bid on it sight unseen over the net.  Those
are nice tools, though.

Will,

If you do the ebay thing ever, you would do well to consider searching for a
older Stanley No. 75 or No. 90.  You can still find many great planes at
much reduced prices.  For example:

or

Anyway, I am now looking to purchase a chisel plane or a tool that will
accomplish the same sort of tasks.   Since I set bearing on the bridges with
the board glued in, this means that I have to work around the closeness of
the rim in the low bass and high treble.  I know that piano makers use
chisel planes for such tasks, so I am researching them with the intent of
purchasing something to use on my present project.
