Guess I'm lucky, still learning to properly learn to use my father and
grandfathers old planes and the proper sharpening. By the time I have
them perfected I probably won't need a better plane Not knocking the
tool, but I've never seen the great wood workers holding up some high
tech new tool as their savior. It is pretty though.

That's $859 for a 2-blade-angle plane. They say
"We believe the CT-17 Dual Angle Block Plane is the most versatile
block plane available today.one plane body with one iron equals two
planes."
This is completely wrong.
For $250 you can get the Veritas Smoothing Plane with THREE different angles.

For $36 more, you can get the toothed blade as well. So the Veritas is twice as versatile
as the Bridge City.
I love mine.

To put it in perspective, for that price you could get:
Lie-Nielson low angle block,
Lie-Nielson standard block,
L-N #5 Jack,
High angle frog for the #5,
a L-N medium shoulder plane,
-and-
a spare O-1 blade.
I think I'll pass.
It *is* pretty, though.

At that price you should buy everyone on here one. I'll e-mail you my
address and be looking for it next week.
And for Christmas, I'll want a second one so that I don't have to
change the iron around.

Absolutely! For the paltry extra money you couldn't even buy
just the wood to make your own.

For that price one could get: FTPM561174, Festool TS 55 EQ Plunge Cut Saw &
CT Mini Dust Extractor Package and have money left over to buy a decent
block plane from Lee Valley.

Pretty much the price I guessed. If you want a cool affordable BCT Kerf
Maker,,, Effective and stupid simple.
