As promised, here are pics of my new planes, a type 6a Bedrock 606 and a Sarge 409. The 606 has the original rosewood handles and it is some nice grained stuff.

The colorful motif on your "bench" is cute, Aaron!! Mine is just boring wood-colored...
Seriously, those are nice looking tools. Congratulations...they should help you make lots of nice things to post about!

I like keeping my bench in season!No, its actually the kitchen table. I paid $130 for the 606 and $25 for the 409, I guess thats ok prices, but I like em anyway.

Aaron,
Both planes look to be in very, very good condition -- I'd say good "buys" on both!!
Very nice tools - congrats!!

You know, them #6 sized planes are about as useless a size as one could get. So why don't you just box that one up and send it my way. I'll tell you what, since I'm feeling generous today, I'll even kick in the shipping.
Good score. 'specially on the Bedrock.
Someone said the real test of a craftsman is his ability to recover from his mistakes. I'm practicing real hard for that test.

Well then I don't want it, send me your addressYou know, them #6 sized planes are about as useless a size as one could get.
Let me guess, the 409 is a junk plane tooI'll just send it right along with the bedrock.
Anyway, I had my mind set on a #6, because its a nice all around plane, it is close enough to a jack for rough work and big enough to be a jointer.

Just ordered a new iron for the 606, the one on it had about a 10 degree bevel on the blade and had maybe a 1/2" of life left. So, a new Spehar Toolworks blade is on its way
