An old #8 - frigator - 07-31-2016
Found this old #8 at the bottom of a boatbuilder's tool chest that had been in storage for a long time. It was the only metal plane in the whole chest. Guy wanted 2000$ for the whole chest but did sell me this #8 for 50$. Anyone recognize this type. Only one I have ever seen.

Wow. That's not something you see every day. It's a type 3 no. 8. Congrats- cool plane.

Wow that's very nice and the first type 3 plane I have ever seen! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Yes I knew it was a type 3 soon as I took the blade off. I only think they made it for one year. The guy only agreed to sell it to me cause the tote was broken. Looks like everything is original.
