The 9 1/2 I got off of you is never coming back. I love that plane!
Right now, i am doing the Schwartz thing and downsizing my plane and tool collection to jsut the essentials. My shop work is becoming much more efficient.

I'm not even sure where all my block planes are at the moment.
One is in the house near the wood stove to make shavings for starting the kindling.
There is a kind of loser of a #110 at the bottom of a junk box.
There are some squirreled away in drawers since they only come out occasionally. Then the half dozen that get used all the time are on their shelves.
Even some of my old images that show most of my planes do not include all the block planes in my current accumulation.
Here are the most used ones in their resting places:
Picture 1.jpg
Down in the lower right corner is a #90 Bull Nose Shoulder plane. Hidden just above the router plane is a #102. On the shelf above the LA Jack are from the left a #65, #65-1/2, an LN #60 and two Stanley #60 type planes.
Hidden in the drawers are a #95 that doesn't see as much use as I thought it would when it was purchased. There is a #140 also not one to get a lot of use. Then there may still be a #75 type plane that isn't as useful as the #90. Finally a pair of squirrel tails a Stanley #100-1/2, one that looks like a #100, a few #101s and various look a likes.
If the camera goes out to the shop today maybe some pictures will be taken. A lot on my plate of late trying to get ready for the farmers market only a month away.

OK, I will throw a log on the fire.
I already had this one in the album. I was demonstrating . . . something or other.
The #1 isn't a block plane but gives some size perspective.
I have a few others : rabbet block, squew block (no big collectors items; they are LNs), japanese blocks including a vertical blade scraper . . . are we including those ?

I love my rabbit block plane from L-N. It is one of my most used tools.

I bet there are some really interesting router planes out there (not that I have any; just the modern stuff).

Here are a couple: a Record 0220 in fetching red and a similar sized adjustable mouth Stanley. At first I thought the Stanley was a #9 1/2 until I realised that it's an inch too long for that. It's 7 inches long, so maybe it's a #15?

The 0220 just helped me trim the ends of my first ever wedged tenons. Thumping in the wedges was fun, so I'll be doing that again!
