Some of the nicer newer planes made by Lie-Nielsen and Veritas are made from Ductile Iron. They say Ductile Iron is much stronger, and can withstand a drop to a concrete floor without major damage. The problem is I would never want to test that claim! Well leave it to Chris Schwarz to take a hammer to a couple planes, to test these claims. It’s a little hard to watch but very impressive. Have a look at his video as he hammers away.
