Barn sale find

[ALEX MCCLAIN]

Hey all,
New here to the creek, I thought I would share the plunder of my latest rust hunt. North Brothers 555, 1550, 1435.

[Jessica Pierce-LaRose]

nice score! And nice to know I don't keep the messiest bench around. Curious about the fenced, wooden plane in the back - some sort of panel raising plane, or something else entirely?

[ALEX MCCLAIN]

lol my bench is probably the best organized part of my shop I spend more time hunting for tools than working. It looks like a panel raiser but its a bit on the small side for one 9'' long 3'' wide and The iron is short so its a real pain to set.

Alex,

Welcome to the Creek.

Nice find with the drills.

Interesting details on what looks like a skewed moving filester plane. That looks like it may be 18th century or maybe friend of a blacksmith craftsman made.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a blade.

What is that in front of the wedge?

Its a brass screw that runs through the arm
