1st purchase - plane

[Joe D'Attilio]

1st purchase of many I assume....

So I just purchased my first tool! - Not sure I am ready to restore one so i found the cleanest one I could. It was a little steep but you can't a price on "the baby's first steps"

Stanley Bailey Sweetheart # 5 Jack Plane:D

Joe

Congrads on the purchase.

Keep a close eye on it though. They have a bad tendancy to multiply very quickly...

You guys want to start a bet here? I'd say at least four more by this time next year.

Nice plane, have fun!

It won't take that long!

And then there's the Disston Collection! ;)

Brian :)

[Thomas Knighton]

I agree with Brian. I bought my first plan less than two months ago, a beat up #4. Now I've got a #5 and a DE7, to say nothing of the #51 spoke shave and the #80 cabinet scraper ;)


...and I'm still going on the planes!

Unfortunately, I just recently discovered Disston:eek:

Joe. Take my advice. Buy a bigger house now. You'll need it ;)

One little slip & down ya go....;)
FWIW, I've tried leaving the lights on so the planes wouldn't multiply in the dark & it hasn't helped.... oh wait a minute I tried to give the planes a couple drinks before shutting the lights off hoping they'd procreate...LOLOLOL
Most of mine haven't been from rust hunting or from the big auction site, which has slowed my ability to have the pane family procreate rampantly.... the ones made in Maine aren't cheap (but neither am I most of the time). I did snag a north of the border #6 from the Creek Classifieds for a good price though.
After trying with 2 BORG versions of what Buck Bros call a plane, I tossed in the Neander towel for about 5 years. One whim to buy a LN #60 1/2 had me hooked... nevermind the feeling after I learned how to REALLY sharpen the iron....

Cheers.

I dunno, I got my first plane 2 weeks ago and have my 5th on the way.

Bailey #4, type 15 (first)
Bailey #4, type 17 (too cheap to pass up)
Bailey #6 (couldn't find a 7)
Sargent 414 (#5 jack)
wooden plow plane -- likely for show rather than use

:D

[Steve Rozmiarek]

You Joe's have been bitten hard! Joe C, you ought to try that plow out. I fondly remember the first time I tried one.... helped the pieces start to fit together in figuring out how the old timers where so productive.

[Danny Thompson]

Nice haul, Joe's.
