It worked perfectly on the door.
No sanding. Why would I?
The hinges on my door didn't need adjusting. Nor are they easy to adjust on the style I have.

In hardware stores, sure. But there are plenty of European-/American-style hand tools that are made in the USA, Canada, UK, or Western Europe, and lots of Japanese-style chisels and whatnot made in...

I'm a big proponent of restoring tools and machinery that will outperform consumer-grade modern equivalents, and few tools fit that description as perfectly as old hand planes. I may or may not buy a...

Your comment was helpful, ignore the P.C. trolls 🙂
I have my grandfather's planes from the WW2 era. They'll probably still be in use when they're 100 years old. Can't beat stuff that was built...

Might want to pump the brakes on all your xenophobia.
This isn't a woodworking plane.
