    These are mine, let's see your's

    #3 sized hand planes, that is. On another site, there is a "Review" going on. Each day, a different "size" of handplane is displayed.

    Today being the third day of the review means #3 sized handplane photos.

    I do not have a pic of my #3, but it is the oldest plane I own. It dates to about 1895, and sees regular use.

    Regards,

    David, do you use those 2's or collect them? I stumbled on to my #2 but havent seen another around here since.

    I think so but nothing beats a full house.

    I'll play.

    These are six of my #3 sized working planes. From left to right a shop made Krenov style with Hock iron, a Stanley (I believe) type 13 with Hock iron, a Woodriver V3, a Stanley post war with Hock iron, another shop made Krenov, and a Philly Coffin smoother. Of the group the first Krenov and the Woodriver get the most use. The Philly smoother is the newest and I'm still learning it's quirks, once known I expect it will move into the often used group. I've a couple or three more Stanley's in different stages of refurbishing but they are on the back burner for now. I've also several #3 sized Krenov style Beech blanks cut and sized, just needing the iron bedded and glue up that are also stuck on the back burner.





    BTW, the slab of Walnut is the back side of a coffee table top that is currently in the short rows, the Beech base is finished, it just needs the top finished and the mortice buttons cut. Once those deeds are done it goes for MsBubba's inspection to learn its fate....living room or Goodwill.

    Interesting collection of planes, love the krenov planes and the Philly. Nice tos ee Wood river get some love, as a lot of guys here hate them.

    I have a Miefer Coffin plane about the size of your philly plane, bought it back in the 80's. It has been a well loved and well used tool.

    Would love to see the coffee table finished....

    We use the same model jointer plane. I love the feel of a wooden jointer for face work, still plan on buying a LV low angle Jointer.

    I merely have a single pre war Stanley #3 which I use as a scrub. Works great for that
