Smoothing plane? James is certainly a smooth operator. And he's the man to tell the story. That much is plane to see.

As someone who uses old tools it really makes you appreciate the work put into old projects. For example old wooden tackle boxes or tool chests

It's wonderful that the same tool can remain useful for so long, for so many people.

My initials are LA I even got it tatted on my neck that would be a find of a Lifetime for me I'm glad u enjoy and take care of the tools with a passion

I have a couple of old wooden planes like that. Matched set of tongue and groove groove planes. Cost me half a crown apiece in a 2nd-hand tool shop 60 years ago. How I wish I'd had a few more half crowns - but that was serious money at the time. I got an army surplus steel smoothing plane at the same shop - still in very regular use - I don't think I could match it in quality now from any source.
I've used them a few times - often because they're so often faster to sharpen and set up than so many modern machine tools. Plus - as I look at the names stamped on the sides - there's a world of fascination.

Got some history has that plane, i have started collecting old wooden moulding planes and some are over 150years old and still work as they should 👌

OLD Tools can be like old houses, they have a story to tell.

It's planely obvious someone got a lot of use out of that plane.

To imagine the stories the walls could tell.

Not really related to woodworking but my old multimeter has some white paint spaletered over it, still works like a champ and is precise. Even though jt looks to be from the 50s 60s

Carpenters had to be creative to meet the need, the great joy of creativity and mother of invention.

Geology is the study of pressure and time. That’s all it takes, really. Pressure and time. That and a big goddamn poster.

It’s plane to see they won’t talk. No cents painting over the truth

Frankenplane's Monster is not so much a monster as he is misunderstood.
