This is my plane till (much needed) made from blue-stained pine. It included my first hand cut box joints. I did not remember to take a pic before I had it filled! There is a tiny rare-earth magnet that sticks to the plane soles. Works pretty good. I really love the look of the blue-stained pine. And it was cheap! I think I paid 48 cents a board foot!
All of my planes are yard sale or pawn shop cheepies….and I am working on restoring them to use one at a time.

Arrokar, nice job on the plane till, and way to leave extra space for more. Your shop looks just like mine with a pile of planes awaiting their evapo bath and a good tuning.

Nice setup, not familiar with blue stained pine but I have seen it on LJ’s before. How is it too work with softer or harder than yellow pine or the same?

chrisstef: yes- i never seem to schedule enough time for the tuning, though!
Martyroc: i am not 100% sure but I think that yellow pine is much harder. This blue stained pine is very soft. I have a friend who has worked with yellow pine and he claims it is very hard. I have not had the pleasure, myself.
