Plane for the Wife or Girlfiend?

[Jim Koepke]

This is a good laugh on the big auction site.

One buyer asked if it is original.
The seller is pretty sure it is.
Maybe that could have put Stanley into a whole new realm, color coordinated planes.

Aint that the one that Mary Kay cosmetics passes out to it's top performing reps?

When I was teaching, I went to rather extreme measures to keep the "loaner" pencils on my desk from wandering off. It worked pretty well, too... right up until the kids decided there was something subversively chic about hanging on to one of Mr. Toebbe's pink-feathered pencils. :rolleyes:

It got to be such a running gag that some of my kids actually started planting even more outlandishly decorated pencils in the jar. Now if only that worked with tools...

For makeup removal?

For makeup removal?

For prepping the surface before finish application?

LMAS! I want to see that in use!

[Megan Fitzpatrick]

Man - if that were available in purple, I'd snap it up. Seriously.

[David Gendron]

Megan, how much would you pay for a purple one??

[Megan Fitzpatrick]

David,
Got a can of purple spray paint, do ya? I dunno - were it a good user, I might go as high as $40 (of course, my LN and LV LA block planes might get jealous...):)

"Plane for the Wife or Girlfiend? "

My suggestion is you get a plane for each, lest they get jealous.

Patrick's Blood and Gore Plane Website (Supertool) says this:


The plane can be found in several colors of paint (as it originally left Stanley, not the colors commonly found on it from it serving double-duty as a paint drop-cloth). The black and blue japanned models are both fine workers as Stanley's block plane standards didn't suffer tool-death at the same time that the bench planes did; i.e., blue painted block planes are fine whereas the same color on the bench planes should make you scream, run, and seek cover. Definitely stay away from the maroon colored block planes; Stanley must have hired some Greenwich Village arteest to come up with this hideous color.
