I found a $20 #6 Stanley Bailey a few months ago. It cleaned up pretty nice. Last night I cambered the blade and honed it for use as a scrub plane. Worked really well, but the #6 might be a little heavy to use as a scrub plane. Anyone else using a #6 as a scrub plane?
As an aside, it was the first time I camber-ground and and honed a blade, and it turned out to be a far easier task than I thought.
