These Ember 3 shoulder planes were designed and made to look and function like the original Stanley’s. To be honest, I think these are far more impressive with a much better superior blade.
Owning a pair of quality side rabbet planes has always been a desire for me because of my line of work. Finally pulled the trigger and I am so stoked.
My personal opinion, this is one of the best hammers I’ve ever purchased. As a high and Finish Carpenter being my trade, this is my absolute go to and worth every penny. DOGYU Wooden Handle KARIWAKU Hammer 390mm 690g Japan
Every time I drive over a pothole or go over a bump of any kind passenger side suspension makes a clicking sound and for the life of me I cannot figure out what the heck it is. My front shocks are Bilstein B8 6112.
Longer version of this story I’m a high-end Finish Carpenter by trade and been doing this for a number of years. I specialize more in fabrication than just standard installs. The client purchased a white oak hand carved fireplace mantel from Europe don’t know which country honestly didn’t care. I was commissioned to hand carve some missing pieces to match what was already existing. Now mind you I had not carved anything in some years. It’s not perfect what I did but it’s close enough and the client loved it. I guess that’s what ultimately counts.

Obviously, this picture is when it bought it new, but it is by far the best hammer I’ve ever had. The gooseneck head drives a force like you’ve never seen, not even a stiletto titanium hammer can match.
Hoping someone has a more keener eye than myself. Since I can’t seem to figure out what type of wood this is.
