My "new" plane found on Ebay

[John Padgett]

I found this Stanley plane on Ebay and got it for $18.50. Is that a good price? I saw it and just had to have it. I cannot wait to get it tuned up and put it to work!

If it gives you at least as much pleasure as a movie and popcorn, then it is absolutely worth $18.50.

I look forward to seeing it fixed up. How big (little) is that?

[David Tiell]

It's about 2" long. A little bit smaller than a Stanley 100. Definitely for detail work if used. I haven't come across a use for mine yet, except to sit on the shelf and look cute.

Brian you live in an expensive area, a movie and a pop corn here in the south will run you $10.

John, I have one of those. The only use I have found for it is to trim edge banding and sharpen my shop pencils :eek:

they are real handy for breaking edges and for removing the fuzz on cross cuts done with a table saw or RAS they used to be called thumb or finger planes.
