Can anyone tell me what kind of plane this is (the one on the far right)? I saw it on Craigslist. The plane body reminds me of a scrub plane that I have, but the iron arrangement reminds me of something from a spokeshave. Never saw anything like it on a plane, though.
Is this just something somebody cobbled together from stray parts?
Thanks in advance for any information.

It resembles a Harbor Freight #33. Here's a link - see what you think.
Looks like a bitch to adjust that blade.
Harbor Freight Windsor Style No. 33. Stanley also had one ( plastic handled, though) called an SB4....
The No. 33 is a lot better than the SB4. Thicker iron, that can be reground into a 3" radius...and used as a #3 sized scrub plane.....
Looks like a solution desperately seeking a problem to me.
My son in law buys from Harbor Freight. He is satisfied with them. I prefer Lowes or Home Depot.
I would probably buy a name band on line.
My planes are antique Stanley Bedrocks with Hock irons and breakers.
Thanks.... You ALMOST made me expel coffee from my nose. LOLQuote:

It is no longer associated with desirable tools.

I bought one of those Windsor 33 planes from Harbor Freight a number of years back.
I take it on any job I'm working on away from my shop. It's like a cross between a block plane and a Stanley no. 3.
I plane plywood and MDF with it, I don't mind if I hit a nail, the blade is simple to adjust and keeps the same position if I remove the blade to hone it and than re-install it. For $10 I'm more than happy with it.
Thank you for all the replies, fellas. I appreciate all your help. I never knew HFT ever sold planes!
Received one as a gift, believe it came from Rockler. Marked #33, Made in India. I used it yesterday for some stuff I didn't want to use my Stanleys on. Believe it or not, after I played with it and got it sharp, it does a pretty good job; Obviously, it has found a purpose in life or it would have gone out with the trash.Quote:
