There's enough handplane lovers around here that this could be an informative question. What are your dream handplanes (handtools in general are acceptable)? I'm a sucker for the infills, so Norris and Preston would be at the top of my list. Of all of them….hmmm….probably a Norris panel plane (below) closely followed by a big Mathieson.

Setting up for a couple of restores. It has been a while since I did any restorations. These are Type 10 and Type 11 #4 1/2s. I need to pick up a correct lever cap for the Type 10. Have all the parts for the Type 11. The type 11 was a $9 rusty find. Missing blade/chip breaker and front knob. Found the parts.

I've had the type 10 in my bone yard for a few years. I'll probably wait until next weekend to start. Flying to Houston Sunday morning for work next week.

Double post. But I wanted Lucas to see his no 8 in action. Hope he's not mad I sent him a rubber check..lol
I've got restores from a couple LJs now. It's cool to see how everybody does it.

Actually I prefer a no.8 to a no.7. for most tasks. Worked pretty well on my bench legs. Only had to pull out the white oak slayer (LN 4-1/2 with HAF) a couple times.

Billy- I do sometimes. I have a no. 8 on ebay right now that this one replaced.

I know DonW sells them on his website. LukieB does here or ebay. I've also bought some from LJ Dan.
If there's something your after…just ask on here. Most guys would just as soon leave feebay out of it.

Billy, in addition to those that Red listed sikrap sells some and I've sold a few and have several more that will be listed once I have time to finish restorations.

If you are looking for a particular plane, throw it out there and if someone has one available, they will certainly pipe up.
