More block planes?

Seems that ever since the plane til was completed, there seems to be more block planes showing up...coming out of the woodwork? bad as Mice...

So, I guess I need to find a few places to put these?

You did know that cast iron has magnetic properties?

Old Arn has even higher Hoardite crystal content and exerts the same field strength, over a larger area (measured in To-its). This is why a barn, or basement with hammers collects more hammers.

This is why a barn, or basement with hammers collects more hammers.

People walk by with a hammer and think, "oh this must be where this belongs."

Pretty soon there is a growing pile of old hammers.

I got my sharpest block plane from you.... One of us made a deal that the other could not refuse, I do not remember exactly how it went down, but I came home with stuff. I had a mass sharpening party with Chris Hatchet, and one plane just really took to my sharpening method I guess. Chris could not stop shaving his arm with it.

Maybe you need to build a "block plane storage thingy". I figure if it has room for about 200 planes, then you only need to get rid of half your stock of block planes

Steve has some of the coolest stuff, just saying!
