Must have been a local hit! I'm surprised someone hasn't taken the song The Rain in Spain Fall Mainly in the Plain and made it into The Planes From Maine...
I've got a Wood River manganese bronze beavertail block plane. It makes a good desk decoration but I also use it. It works as good as it looks. If I had the loot I would spring for a LN manganese bronze plane of one sort or another. Of course I'm going to make fun of anyone who buys one. Am I jealous? Oh no, no, no, no,,,
Yes.
