Don’t often see these out in the wild.

@nsj I had 2 planes (No4 and a 9 1/2 type of block plane ) for the last 2 years, now I suddenly have 38 😬 😎

@tv101 if only I could buy them sharp! No such luck lol

you mean you buy a new one whenever the blade on the old one gets blunt too? 🤣 🤣

@koendb love nice old hand planes, last year I started with none but by the end of the year I had over 10 lol

Wasn't sure where to put this but I've got some new wood to sort out. I have a friend of a friend who has one of those big horizontal bandsaw machines so he can cut it into boards. Then I'll just stac...

Ok I think I have decided what I'm building next, prs body style with carve, 24 fret neck with 6 inline tuners and a gotoh floyd rose and it'll be a neck through! All Brazillian mahogany with ebony bo...

Ah I dont hve the circular cutter yet, but the router parts are on order, I am making my own as designed by Paul Sellers 🙂 Speed is not always needed, I can buy perfectly squared wood, but planing and...

Nice work on the build @Clinton, I need to find out how to open the vids in youtube though, I just can't get them to play nicely on the site for some reason.
