Some people are proffesionals. Others are well healed hobbist. There is the third group, which is the purely practical aspect of wood working. The practicle aspect of wood working is, you use what you have. Old Rex here really helps with that. Still, practical uses what you have. A number six seem like a good compromise when you have the basics.
My Stanley No. 6 is the best Stanley I currently own. I bought it in 1994 at my local Woodcraft store along with a Record No. 4 and both were made in England, both are flat and true on both sides and the bottom with the sides being 90 degrees in reference to the bottom. It must have been my lucky day as they’ve both worked out well in a variety of tasks. 😎🎸👍
I only have a 5 and a 6 I got off a friend when I said I wanted to try out carpentry when I injured my ribs a few months back and was off work for 2 weeks and in my absolutely inexperienced and carpentry deficient brain I like my no.6 but that’s probably because I have almost no clue what I am doing
I use my number 6 more than i should i think, but it gives me such great results. Ideal for smoothing and finishing. I use my number 5 on shorter, smaller woods. I dont own a number 4, as the other 2 do it all for me
I have 3 times no.6 in somewhere i got for … nothing. I'll probably let them rot in peace and take the blades and parts to make more specilaity wooden planes.
" What number plane do I need ? "
" A number 6 or 7 " AHHHHHHHHH
I cant wait to get the #6 7 planes
67
I'm a big dude and like using a 6 as a jumbo jack. But the shooting board idea is great too! Gonna try that

Not very affordable 100 dollars for a chisel with no handle there is no way thats a good price even for a vintage one.
I have a #4 and a #220(?not sure its tiny). I'm very inexperienced. I made a small door once.
I've got a 4, 5, and 6 from my grandfather.

Come on now, ya'all. Just give us the "plane truth", ya hear?
I use a 6 Sevennnnnnn
Does the number 5 have 3d printed hand holds?
So what's your opinion of the #8?
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo should I get this over a 7?

So in theory since I’m a gymrat I could handle a no. 6
What about 1,2 and 3?
– Calls numbers
– Talks about "pulling the trigger"
– Works with hard wood
Close enough, welcome back Guido Mista
What’s the highest number plane
I have a 4&1/2 that I use for almost everything tbh.
I have 3 times no.6 in somewhere i got for … nothing. I'll probably let them rot in peace and take the blades and parts to make more specilaity wooden planes.
I use 1 plane for every thing
Got a #6 for free, it has been a really useful plane.
