Now that I finally have a bench that is geared for hand tools I thought I would break down and get some of them in better running order. This #5 is my cheapest plane setting me back a whole $15, and probably the most used, but I have never before pulled thin shavings like this from it before:)
The #8C was my first plane I ever got but never used till now. Took quite a while to get the sole cleaned up and the iron is about shot but she'll do for a little while as much as I'll use it. Going to have to try and fix that horn on the tote though, sure is uncomfortable on the hand the way it is. The tote was actually the one that came on the #5 but I switched them since I wasn't using this one.

184547 My biggest question is here, with this Ohio Tool Co. Rabbet/Rebate plane. Never used one and it needs a new wedge. Can someone point me in the right direction on making a new one, and just how do you set these? How can you tell if the sole is in need of refacing? Its out of square about 1/16" and I'm wondering if by the time I flatten it if I will need to put on a new sole?
