charlie: thanks
canadian chips: I would send them to you but I am adding this to my small collection. This is the 4th plane I've gotten. I have a type 13 no.5, a no.6 and a no.4. If I find some more for a good price I will keep adding til the wife says stop. Then I will sneak them in.

By the way what is a bullnose plane used for? to make a bullnose? can it be that obvious?

I think there might be a confusing answer here. The Stanley 75 is not a bullnose plane, it is a bullnose rabbet plane. Meaning it is for making rabbets like any other rabbeting plane, but the short nose can let you get closer into a corner.

That is different from a "nosing plane" which is a half-round molding plane which as David describes, is for rounding over or "nosing" like on the front of a step.

Bull nose describes the short nose on your rabbet plane, while nosing describes the shape that a half-round plane creates.

Ahh, my mistake, I saw the 75 identified by number and then when I saw bullnose, I thought we were talking about the woodie and I didn't see the full profile. Thanks for correcting me swirt. Guess I better spend some time relearning some of the Stanley plane numbers…. or pay closer attention to the discussion :)

The little metal one with the handles on the sides is a spokeshave. Maker or model unknown. It actually looks like a nice one that will clean up well.

The wooden plane is a moulding plane for cutting a shaped cut. These are used to make mouldings. You can use different hollow and rounded shaped planes like this to build more complex mouldings for decoration.

Clark and Williams is making new ones and you can take a look to see what some of the types are here:
