Had today off, wife said "Lets go stroll the antique shops, and eat at the buffett....". And wouldnt you know, I was strolling through and came upon a "Bedrock brand no. 604 plane" for 15 clams. It was right under an old woodie jack with no blade for 25ish, which was further sitting under a 20 percent off everything sign. Although I already owned a Stanley brand plane in the same size, I did love the Flintstones cartoon growing up. I had to ponder the quandry of why they would tie in a metal hand plane when Fred worked in a quarry, and I never saw him cut a single dovetail in any of the cartoons. My wife convinced me he was probably a draw-bored tenon man and to go on ahead and buy it, as we might find a matching old lunchbox.

The buffet was pretty good too.
