Decided to buy this plane, and a handle for a Hatchet...total cost? $15...
Plane is a 5-1/4 size...Sold by AMT...not sure IF that is...
Scheduled delivery is this coming Saturday's Mail..

It is called: Paying it Forward....and I tend to do quite a bit of it...just need an address to send this to...
For the price of shipping one to you $19...I can send a No. 5 Stanley Jack plane to your address...sharpened and ready to go.
Better yet, just PM your Mailing Address...and I will send it out...
