Used to be, on a warship....guns would have "Ready Service Lockers" for some of the rounds they would need...in order to give the handling rooms below to start sending up more. So...instead of me thumbing through 2 Plane Tils, looking for just the right plane for a job, grab that plane, and close things back up...and straighten things back up a bit....decided a shelf under the top of the workbench might be of some use.... Basically one or two of each size. So that all I have to do is reach down and grab a plane....there IS a Stanley No. 6c always sitting in the Tool Well, as well... Maybe do an Inventory of what is "available"... When the Type 17 gets a bit dull... There is a Type 10 No. 6c on standby.. There is also a Jumbo Jack plane... Millers Falls No. 15...with a stock 2-1/4" wide blade...and.. A "Normal" Jack plane..Ohio No. 0-5 Down by the leg vise there are two planes that get used a lot, at the moment.. Stanley No. 3, Type 15, and Stanley No. 4-1/2c, Type 11. Finally, covering up a few smaller planes, is this "Thing" Old Heft & Hubris himself...Stanley No. 8c.... There is a Block plane always on the bench.. Mutt & Jeff, right? Stanley No. 60-1/2 low angle. There are 2 Millers Falls planes in the shelf, on standby... A Millers Falls No. 9, Type 2 ( same size as a Stanley No. 4) and.. Millers Falls No. 8, type 2....can stand in for the Stanley No. 3 anytime.... There IS a "rotation" in effect...as one plane goes to get sharpened, a similar plane will take it's place... So..while working at the bench, if I need a certain size plane for a task, I can reach down grab that plane, use it, and then return to the shelf when done...instead of having so many planes sitting it the way on the top of the bench...
