Review on WoodRiver #5 Bench Plane, V3 by Steven Adams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product, great price

It's hard for me not to give this plane 5 stars but I'm new to using planes and the long-term results are not out yet for me so time will tell. I went on YouTube and Rob Cosman walked me through the process of flawlessly prepping this plane. I was so impressed with how well this plane worked that I went ahead and bought the number 4 and the number 6 Wood River planes along with the small block plane in a bundle that I got on sale for 15 percent off. I found this to be a tremendous deal and now I feel as if I have the planes needed for all of my woodworking needs, at least for the time being. These planes are great products at a fraction of the cost of the ones that they're copycating. I would buy them again without hesitation. I've used all of them and love how they all work.

Pros
  • It is heavy and as a woman I had to take breaks but it worked perfectly
Cons
  • Requires a lot of physical strength to use efficiently.
