Another thing I don't like about the Buck Bros. smoothing plane
The screw that holds the lever cap is too large to fit through the hole in the lever cap when tension is released. So the screw must be removed to remove the lever cap and the blade. Bad design.

This plane is no longer extant. While cleaning yesterday, I decided that this chunk of metal and wood was so utterly useless that it wasn't worth keeping around.
