Joinery Finesse – WoodRiver #92 Medium Shoulder Plane

When I first started to get serious about woodworking, one of the first good-quality tools I purchased was a Stanley #92 shoulder plane. Now, more than thirty years later, I still use it almost every time I’m in the shop. The plane offers finesse not easily found in machines; it’s indispensable for trimming tenons, tweaking rabbets, and cleaning up dadoes. A few years ago, Stanley updated the design of the tool to make it look more streamlined. I bought one of these new models for the facility where I teach evening classes. I was pleased to discover that the new model works just as well as the original. With a sharp blade, the #92 makes a dramatic difference in how easy it is to make the precise cuts necessary for solid joinery.
