the wood planes begin

Hi Jacob, not really familiar with the Ohio, but my mentor owned a Stanley that looks just like the one pictured, he has that thing so sharp you could shave your beard with it. These should clean up nice, good find.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

It sounds like you got a good deal. The Stanley #5 1/2 in working order typically goes for way more than that.

Here is some Ohio tools info

We’ll be waiting to see the shavings.

Thanks Don the Ohio tools info was very interesting, I went back and forth on whether to buy new or used and refurb and felt the effort to fix something would give me better quality in the long run than trying to buy new, now I need to start researching how to rebuild and sharpen blades too of coarse

I love the low knob 5 1\2

You can do a ton of projects with the #5 and the block plane all by themselves. Have fun learning.

I’ll give you $15 and you can keep the block plane. I just want the two longer ones. That’s a 50% profit and you get a free plane in the bargain! (grin)

Nice find, they’ll restore a treat and once tuned up will serve you for many years.
