Went out to the Pole barn Woodshop tonight, I had forgotten a few items.    I had a tub of things for my E-bay sales, for one thing.     I also placed a couple more items in it.  I also had forgotten to take pictures out there, Heaven forbid..     So, here we go, first some "working " photos...The just completed KK7, doing the Pine Ave. thingy...Bailey #6, a smooth bottom plane, and it's relativeDas  Frankensteinian  #6c, with a made in Sweden iron, by Berg... next upa Union #5A Jack plane, same size as a Stanley #5-1/2.    Ok enough of the Biggums, a look at the little guys?Yup, that be a Stanley Handyman #1204,  a #4 sized plane, next, the newest plane in the group...The Parts Plane, aka Sargent #4.      And now the Family Portraits, if you want them....The Biggums family,  (F. - R)  #6c,#6,KK7, and a Bailey #8c, next up..The jacks Family, a #5A, and two #5s, next, the smoothiesMy #3s, and #4s.   The big Union is a #4G.   Down on the end of this line-up, is a #33 Scrub Plane.   And now the wee people on the block..A close-up of the scrub plane, and FIVE little block planes.   Well, that's enough for now.    IF another "stray" should show up around the shop, be sure to let you see it.

God bless and protect our troops that serve so we can be free.

Been trying to get all the "bases" covered.    Almost done with these.    Still have one project plane to go.     A Bailey style #5, I hope.   I seem to be getting a lot of Unions, and Sargent types.     I do have a few Stanleys, sitting around.   The little TV Table I just slapped together the other day, I gave a lot of these old planes a work out. 

Parts Planes,  I may have another one coming in.  If I'm unlucky, no biggie, in no big hurry.   Might still go looking for a low angle block plane.

 each plane gets used in it's turn, scrub it up, run a jack plane over the scrub marks, hit it with a jointer to true the face, and edges,  maybe a trip with a larger jointer for panel work, then out comes a smoother, and maybe a block for the edges . 

The #7 and #8c  will do an edge like a powered jointer.    The sixes will do the same on shorter boards, as well as some face work.   Just a pick and choose sort of thing.   Two jacks, two different edges on the irons.   One a nice big cambered edge, the other is a square edge for some smoothing work.   the smoothers, some are narrower than others, so, smaller work areas can be done.  One block plane even has a cambered edge to it's iron, for scrubbing down small or thin rough stock.    All kinds of options available.
