Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and taste....er....that's another post!
I'm a hobby woodworker and tool collector from Arizona. I usually design all of my own work and like the Greene and Greene and Nakashima styles. I collect user planes and submit a picture below:

Greetings Lewis! Welcome to the creek!

Those are some beautiful tools. I especially like the guide fences on the jointer and what I assume is a foreplane.

I would love to see what you like to make with them, too.

Thanks, folks! Pretty much every plane in the pic gets a regular workout, as I'm power tool poor and quite frankly love to sweat when I work..... The Sweetheart 5 1/2 stays on the shelf because it is marked "CCC" and having been a history major in college.....
Almost all of the Stanleys are SR&LCo., Sweetheart or wartime planes (for the big bruiser jobs). There are several Miller's Falls mixed in ( I like the 07 better than the #140) and a Veritas just to show I'm hip wit da new dope.

I am stalking the wiley #46 as we speak.....as to Wabbets, do the Clifton 410 or the Record 077 come close?

Welcome to the Creek! You've got a good start there:D Keep after that #46...You'll be glad you did! And while you're at it you might as well go on to #48 and #49...also great users.
