PM recieved...

I was by your town a couple weeks ago. On my way to Woodstick 2015 down in Martinsville. A large group from Stumpy Nubs' group of friends over on Lumberjocks ( I can say this, can't I?0 spent a weekend swapping food, stories and tools.

Actually, I am having a ball...

Major "Suck-age" for $5

Those two will complete a "set" of this type of plane

L-R: A No. 26 Jack, a No.28 Fore,a No.29 small jointer, and a No. 31 Jointer. There is a small one

Liberty Bell No. 122, about the same size as a Stanley #3.

Not that I'm a collector, or anything. They will make shavings

As in the "New" No. 28 Fore Plane vs Cherry edge grain.

Put the No.28 through it's paces yesterday

A lot lighter to use than the Stanley T-10 No.6c. Made some decent shavings, too
Stanley No. 28.jpg
I think the other planes were getting a bit jealous?

I think I can now use that Millers Falls No.8 as a smoother on the flat areas?

Neither of the are "L-N" or "Veritas" items, but they do seem to work, even on Curly Maple....
