Yes, this plane is still around.... Might bring that iron upstairs for a sharpening day.... May see more action as a small jointer....since I do not use a shooting board.. had a day at the "Track" today...the TEST TRACK.. Sitting beside the Millers Falls No. 14 Jack...Several jack planes were tried out, before I start putting things away... Including the No. 15 Jumbo Jack ( Stanley N. 5-1/2 size) a couple of the smoothers, and.. The Millers Falls No. 11 Junior Jack plane... Trying to see who needs a sharpening, and who needed to be set up better.. Stay tuned..

Got this in the mail today, luck of the draw in the lottery from our Annual Fundraiser. Not being a hand plane guy for a long time I confess I only have ever had a cheap HF special. Never had an interest till I returned from Iraq but the pins in my wrist really did not like the activity of planning. Late last year I met a customer that also had same problem and he gave me a hands on tutorial of the ins and outs of holding the plane so it doesn't aggravate my injury. Okay, so I tried it at home and have been playing with the thing getting it tuned in and all. It makes nice ribbons, which I am told is unusual for a HF special, but hey miracles happen I guess. So I opened the box and took this Wood River Block Plane apart and got acquainted with all the parts, tuned up the blade a hair and back together it went. Makes some nice shavings. Did research last week on this particular plane and found out it's common uses, and what not to try. Impressive little guy. Thanks to the folks at Wood River for the prize, it will get used and if I get decent at using these things I might have to upgrade the HF special. Budget permitting.
