Trimming Plane

Me too. Some of these old planes are worth over $200 to collectors of old tools. I see one like mine on ebay but only $30:

Here is an example of the "30 inch 4 x 4" wooden plane

Thanks, that helps, there's a Re-Store in Manville, NJ. Looks like a half hour from here and I see an email address.

It is a wooden plane.

Interesting, that's exactly what I have. Looks like they might bring $40 bucks.

Now I'm leaning toward heading to that Re-Store.

The reason I'm dealing with this is I'm painting and re-organizing my basement. I'll look at what else I have.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Yeah, I got the metal one from the same place but it doesn't look like an antique. It's a 7" metal plane. Just checked the basement, some of the things I trashed are still in the trash can. Coping saw, hack saw, brace. I think I'll take a picture and email that Re-Store.

$9.00 new at ACE hardware.

This is a very low-end stanley "block" plane. The blade is difficult to adjust and is not the best quality carbon steel.

Useful for crude trimming tasks where the final finish isn't critical and the edge being trimmed is less than an inch wide.

I don't like wood chips in my cheese. Save them for the toilet paer...

The microplane grater is an adaptation of a wood working tool. Used one yesterday for Parmesan cheese for my risotto.
