I bought a "lot" of planes on the Bay just to get a knob for my #4 type 9.
There was a type 11 with the knob I needed but the plane was broke in half at the mouth and repaired.

Turned out to be a nice haul, for what I would of paid for a single knob got four planes and the knob I needed.
Then a friend of mine on another forum, adot45, sent me a link to eBay of a plane that was modified from a broken one, at the throat.
Don't know if I can post that link here without getting in trouble, so I wont till I know it's ok.
Here is the start of the "Phoenix" plane. The broken type 11.

A little cutting is in order.
278229
Next a little filling the plane will be put together from various other parts,
I had laying around.

Now it comes together, I must note here though the blade is not real sharp yet.
Brass adjuster screw...type 9 plane
Tote and lever cap...Defiance plane
Blade and cap iron...Ohio plane
And here it is from the trash can or so to speak the ashes.
The Phoenix plane.

If I can post that listing, your jaws would drop on what it went for.
Myself, I don't have any part planes...just restore them.;)
