Identifying Hand Planes

I am no expert and there are plenty of them here at LJ.
How about some pictures so we know what you looking at?
That would help.

What specifics do you want to know anyway? Looks like you already got the basics.

I’d like to identify the characterize the “family” of planes, like jack plane or other. I’ll put a few pictures on my project gallery.

Pictures are posted on my gallery.

You’ve got a jointer and a jack. Slight camber on a jointer is not that uncommon.

@Smitty—Thanks for the info. I paid $55 for the jointer and $28 for the jack. Did I make reasonable deals?

@Smitty—Great link. It looks like I have a No. 5 Stanley Handyman jack plane and a No. 7 Stanley Bailey jointer.

Nothing but good things to say about Patrick. He’s a great tool finder for those of us wanting to move into the handwork arena.

Jointer – a solid deal. The handyman, maybe a little high. But between the two, you done good! Congrats!
