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.

OMG Smitty. That's not a SW? Pretty cool shaver anyway.

Oh, I did find my tool database inventory. Was looking extensively in the wrong place. It's done with a split database in Open Office Base, complete with picture capability. If someone wants to try it, PM me. I'm going through a 1" high stack of old invoices to update the thing…something to do when it's too cold to work in the shop.

Ah the 70. My parents just gave me one for Christmas. They said they picked it up at an estate sale. I think I'm going to use it to scrape paint off an 8 foot long 4×12 a friend gave me from a remodel project he's working on. Unless anyone has any boxes they need the logos scraped off of. :)

#70s are interesting tools. Incredibly sharp helps, and they do work, as Bandit says. But this #292 was too nice to pass up. Unaware until I saw it.

The dovetail plane got a fettling tonight, big time. Spur not flush to the main body, so to the stone it went.

I don't think the once a month meetings are paying off and my mentor seems to be evil. I may need to up my medication.

A type 2 Sargent 407 and 408 will be making its way to my place. I should warn you, this is graphic!
