I am having no luck finding blades for the stanley plane trimmer 12-101.
Can they be sharpened?
Thanks, Andy

Yes. You can also find blades at antique stores and flea markets, or buy a new one for around $12.00.
Or you can have Ron Hock make one for you.
The way I see it - if you can't find replacement blades you have 3 choices : 1. try sharpening it 2. buy a new plane

A complete replacement is about $13 if I'm looking at this right.

A jig like that helps, but it also costs more than the plane. There are a number of DIY jigs on the net but this is about as simple as it gets:

If you have a piece of window glass or something else that's fairly flat for a backing you can use sheets of wet/dry
Thanks for all the good ideas.
I think I will go with the sharpening jig since it is adjustable and I may buy a larger planer in the future.
