18th century joiner plane. All it needed was a little flattening, and sharpening of the iron and chip breaker. It takes a beautiful shaving now.
I am working towards building my own workbench. When I moved in there was one in the garage already but the top is MDF, and it's way too wide at like 5 feet. I hate that I can't walk around it or reach the other side, it gets mad dirty back there.
I am going to make a fore plane next, but before that I need to make floats. Then I will be all set.
There’s two really large ones near me but the prices have approached “no lowballers I know what I’ve got” levels, for what is mostly just junk. The good shit has already been picked over by antique restorers, flippers, friends of those doing the sales, etc.
Flea markets got hip and that fucking sucks. Get off my lawn.
