The 14 1/2″ No 982 panel plane is very close to 3 kilos (6 1/2 lbs), so this makes it well over £1,000 a 1lb. Looking at it in this light I suppose a bag of potatoes is very good value. If I was to set a proper hourly rate the price would become a little more frightening.

There were only 8 of these planes made and I hope to do a final blog with some pictures of the finished planes this weekend.

Thank you for your interest.

It’s scary to imagine what you’d have to charge if you had an hourly rate! I’d also be interested to see what you’d have to charge by the pound; these 14 1/2″ models look massive! Any guess what the final weight of one of these would be?

Cheers,
Cory

You can tell you take care of every detail and everything is so clean and neat which we know is important when you are working with power tools. It is just amazing to be able to see the process. I will visit your blog more often.

Thanks for your comments. Your question is always a difficult one, as it is difficult keeping records on everything. If I worked it out methodically I think the prices would be even higher! I can only take a guess of in excess of 250 hours. In the case of these 8 x 14 1/2″ No 982 planes they just seem to have dragged on for months even though I am using some components made when I made the smoothing planes. It is frightening to think what the real cost should be.
