Blade box for the Veritas combination plane or small plow plane, displaying the blades edge up so you can easily pick the one you need. Made of Baltic birch plywood, it holds blades side by side in two 6" long rows. The number of blades you can store depends on their width, and so on which blades you own.
All the new blades for the combination plane (the four large beading blades, the four fluting blades, the eight reeding blades and the rabbeting blade) fit in one box; a second box holds all the blades for the small plow plane, including blades that require the wide-blade conversion kit. A cover protects the blades when not in use.
Blades not included.
Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
