All the sanding dust had to go somewhere, but why on my planes?

 

After I finished a glue up, I gave a few a wipe down..

Yep, that is a clothes dryer back there, and they are sitting on a hamper.   I have to share space with the Laundry room.    Front to rear:

Ohio Tool Co. No. 0-7 ( smooth sole) and a pair of Stanley No. 7c, type 9 jointers.  The one in back has "loaner" handles, until I can afford the Rosewood ones.  The other jointer in the shop..

Is what Stanley called a Small Jointer.....No.6c, type 10.  Lot of weight here, so I had better put them away, until needed.  The 0-7 is marked on the toe of the plane, the rest have theirs on the rear porch..

I seem to recall Ohio using mahogany  for their handles, Stanley at this time was using Rosewood. 

 

Just a look at the shop's cordless jointers...

Aren't the bigguns fun?  I have several to restore, a mix of wooden, cast, and transitional and posts like this one remind me that I need to get back at them!  Thanks for sharing.

Nice family portrait.

Ever used one of those beasts? They belong in the weight room. I'm not challenging Steve to arm wrestle.:o

Hey love the big ones. Watches ebee a long time before I snagged a #8 with a Hock blade. It cuts so smooth that it only takes  1 or 2 passes to get a great surface. These big planes are for finishing the surface not getting it there.
