Good grab on the toothing plane. They are definitely useful for more than just veneer work. If you have some difficult grain, or a knot, they are fantastic for taming them. While knots aren't typically a problem in primary parts, sometimes I encounter them in secondary parts like drawer sides and case backs. When you need to knock them down, the toothing plane works great. They're good for localized tearout as well. Just tooth and smooth. Excellent score on the snipe's bill. I'm still looking for a good pair of these. Definitely under rated and mysterious tools but Don has done a good job of clearing up a lot of their mystique.
