Mmmmm, well they make great jack planes where an open mouth is not a problem, until the bottom has been flattened so much the mouth is huge. The fix is to glue on a hardwood sole and start over. Won't get much to sell them, but they don't cost much to buy... Some very good blades in them occasionally...

If you're really going to pitch them, check to see how many you can fit in a large flat rate box and put them in the S&S for $5 plus shipping, the $5 to cover the gas and time waiting at the PO to ship them. They will go in a heartbeat.

Why don't you tune one up and have a go at it? You might like it.

Transitional planes: They were good enough for H.O. Studley.. they are good enough for you.

If you want to dispose of your wooden planes let me know, I have been wanting to try the conversion from steel to wood....

I was playing with the #3 sized plane last night and couldn't figure out how to make it work. Maybe somethings missing, couldn't tell. Interesting blade adjustment.
