A bit of Nostalgia ... for me

My #3 is not as pretty as Derek's, but it is my most used plane.
It was a Canadian school plane I bought on the internet. It still has a number on the handle that I surmise was used in the store room for checkout purposes.
It is almost like using a block plane, but it is a real smoother.

I'm have gone out into my shop in the middle of the night for some reason. I really do think I heard them talking one night. It was a fall night with a full moon, kinda enchanted. or maybe it was wistful thinking on my part.

Perhaps that's the 'shrooms talking?

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Michael, nice job in the rehab – more importantly a great story!


It's always amazing to me how using tools that belong to my dad/granddad immediately bring them to mind as if they were standing there in the shop with me. I'm not a deep thinker, but I think there is something magical here.


Thanks for posting.


All the best, Mike
