Image description

This tool, stamped by Shul, takes engineering prowess to new heights. From its finely turned ebony totes to its magnificent 23/8-inch diameter knurled regulating screw, from the rotating brass-cutter mounting to the crisp stop-end chamfers and the sprung-steel compass fence, this plane is an astonishing achievement. Yet practicality has been forgotten in the quest for perfection.
