Nice finish and packaging, accuracy of machining and assembly probably a little hurried. After examination, plane fullly disassembled and blade support cleaned, re-assembled and adjusted. Blade back flattened and re-assembled. Depth of cut adjustment pivot, straightened and bent to fit adjusting wheel accurately. Blade re-sharpened with correct cutting angles and connected to blade back. Bent blade leveling lever and positioning finger to correct position. Lubed and re-assembled plane including tightening of wooden handle screws. Now a fine and accurate piece of woodworking equipment. Might also be worth mentioning that the bed needs the coat of varnish removing from the cutting face as uneven wear of the varnish will result in stickiness and not cutting smoothly and evenly. Still, when done a nice piece of kit that will last years of use.Read full review

I’ve ended up owning 3 Faithfully number 4’s and 1 number 5. I’m looking for a number 7 now. The first Faithfull number 4 I bought was brand new, it worked straight out of the wooden box it came in, the other two, I couldn’t resist, they were silly cheap on eBay, the reason being, they weren’t set up properly. Once set up and the blade properly sharpened and honed, the faithfull number 4 will work as good as any plane with a much higher price tag.
