I was given a couple of planes that need a little TLC, but may be useable. I am a power tool guy for the most part and use hand planes to tune tenons and fit drawers.
I already have a LV LA block plane and a LV med shoulder plane and would like to try to tune these up and add them to my tool collection.
My question is, what types of planes are these Wooden Stanleys and do they look servicable? Is the long one a jointer? One of he metal bodied planes is a Sheldon, I never heard of them. The other says "Miller's Falls No. 900" and looks like a jack plane to my untrained eye. It may be a el cheapo knock off.
The irons are all rust free and in great shape, just in need of flatening and sharpening.
My question to those of you that know more about hand planes than I do, are these worth making shavings or should they be really nice paperweights?
Thanks!
