Plane uses for #1 through #3 & # 6

Hi Bob.. after 30 seconds googling… I found this site…

I do hope this explains things for you…

Good show ol' chap!! I should have thought to put in "Stanley." I got a bunch of junk about airplanes :-(( Not that I have anything against airplanes, they just don't work well in wood unless you are trying to knock down forests quickly, then it is a one shot deal .

Here's a little better page of what I was looking for when I added stanley to find the #2 that isn't in teh first listing. http://homepages.sover.net/~nichael/nlc-wood/stanref-num.html

Airplanes. Do those float over the wood like a hovercraft Bob? Probably less tiring to use, LOL.

Here's a good description of bench planes from Chris Schwartz
