    I agree with Jim. That plane looks perfectly serviceable, if a bit dirty. I have doubts that it was new when his grandfather got it. Clean it up a bit, sharpen the blade, flatten the bottom if...

    That is a good idea. I use a couple of fast food trays, but the stones do slip. Some silicone sheet in the bottom would fix that. I like the trays as they have a lip to retain the water.
