There are a lot of things that could cause a situation like this.

My first check would be the brushes. A piece of loose dirt could lift them off of the commutator and keep the starter motor from...

Thanks for the compliment Mark.

Sandpaper will be used on my projects when necessary, not very often. The other thing being most of my projects are only finished with stain.

Yeah, right and today's F-150 is a "knock-off copy" of Henry Ford's Flat Bed Model-T.

The Veritas planes are a vast improvement to a concept from well over a century ago.

And don't forget the cost of permits. In some localities they can be a big chunk of the cost of building.

You are sure to find the small plough plane a joy to use.
