WOW, checked out the two links. That is an incredible haul and enough projects to keep anyone busy for quite some time. If they all turn out like this one, it’ll be the deal of the century! Good work.

It looks as if you’ve almost ‘paid’ for the entire haul already.

That pile o planes is going to keep you very busy. This one is beauty. It just calls out “wrap your hands around me”. Hope your having fun.

Any marks on this one? It looks like an Ohio tool.

RG, there are two stamps. The initials DBD are stamped in several locations. I’ll assume that’s who owned it. It looks like a maker stamp of “M Crannell Albany”. There are a few other references to this maker online.

It looks like you have some research to do.

Very nice. What manner did you use to true the sole? I have a jointer plane I am working on and need to learn about such things.

I used my Stanley #8. I typically turn my #8 upside down and lock it in a vice, but this wooden plane was long enough that I locked it in a vice and just used my #8.

Nice restore. Have you considered soaking the wooden planes in BLO?

I probably should blog one of the ones I do, but RG did a great job already.

Specifically look at the lessons learned piece for sole flattening.
