At the end of September my wife and I vacationed in Maine. Our route south from Acadia happened to take us (purely by coincidence, I swear) down Route 1 and through the sleepy little town of Warren where there happens to be a small toolmaker that some of you may have heard of. We stopped in for a visit and I ordered a 10 1/4 rabbet plane that I had been lusting after for some time. It finally arrived today, along with a white whale.
The Moby Dick to my Ahab.
After years of internet searching and auction house haunting, I finally managed to track one down. And for a price that I was comfortable paying.

It has a broken handle and needs to be scrubbed & possibly repainted, but overall in great shape. Sorry for the gloat, but I couldn’t help myself lol
