Though not in the market for a plow plane I am a fan of Veritas
so I had to see what refinements they made to the Stanley
version.

This is one of the best reviews of a tool or machine that
I've ever read. The comparisons with other versions of
the plow plane and their significance point up the Veritas
approach to tool design - start with a Tried & True design,
challenge each part of that design, fix the shortcomings
and make it easier to use - the shaped left hand hold for
example. A small change - but the author of the review
now finds the Tried & Trued design to be wanting. The
photos in the review illustrated the changes, some subtle
and some obvious. Sure helps having a review done by
someone who knows the tool - and its ancestor(s) -
AND how to use it.

More reviews from Derek Cohen please!

It helps to have review done by somebody who hasn't sold their soul to
reader's digest.
