That plane must have some teenage friends who convinced your plane to change its color. Don't wory, the plane will grow out of this phase.

[Martin Cash]

I don't think that pigs can change their spots.
Or is it:
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

One way or another this will likely always be a pig.

To think someone took a beautiful blue stanley and turned it into a bigger hunk of junk that it already was, defying the seemingly impossible. kudos to that man (or woman.)

That's right, this baby's hot, we painted it fire engine red now all we need are some racing stripes.

I do like red... :D

What number is that plane, Jim? Are you seriously trying to unload it?

[George Moore]

Jim,

I was just given a MF #8 that was painted almost as bad as yours. The sole and sides were painted black, the lever cap a bright red along with the tote and knob.

It sure was fun getting the black off the sole and sides. Still trying to get all the paint off the two piece lever cap.

Have a Blessed day.

No, it is not mine. I do have some planes listed in the SMC Classifieds right now.

This one came up in my ebay block plane search. I thought it was funny, because it is ugly and not a "vintage Stanley block plane."

It is buy it now item # 280447087877.

I have one of those, its a Stanley No. Nothing. Hardware store special, my first plane. I've tuned it up and the amazing thing is it works pretty well. Not red though, its nicely polished. I treat it sort of like my first born.
