Stanley No. 8 Jointer Plane

It doesn’t look like it needs much TLC. They are a beast @ 2ft long. Im jealous. I use a #6 like a jointer. It kind of works. But I would like a 7 or 8 when I start build my bench

I picked up a #8 about a year ago. Put in a Hock blade and use it on all of my projects. It takes a little getting used to because of size when jointing a edge but after a couple boards you will have it down to a science. I would do nothing more than give it a good cleaning, wipe it done with some camellia oil and go to town.

i want to get one to finnish my collection but i’m stuck getting record planes right now.

I picked up a #8 on Ebay a couple of years back for $27. It was a pre-lateral and needed a new lever cap; the blade was the original was in need of replacement. It took me almost another year top get the lever cap without paying a arm & leg for it then I replaced the blade with a Hock. I love using mine….. because of the size you get a lot of momentum when using it; you have to get used to that.
