Looking for a Stanley #18 with the cast iron sole.
Stanley made oodles of block plane styles and the #18 must have been one of the more prolific. Started out this adventure looking for a #65, and then realised the model I wanted was the smaller #18. I think this had the knuckle joint cap only.
[Original WTB #65 was deleted.]

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Hi, Arlin. I have a couple of those links on my watch list. At least one has been reposted. The 18-1/4's lack the adjustable mouth. Thanks for looking out for me.
I am shying away from dah' Bay. I purchased a #65 that was never delivered. The selling agent stole it from the owner who actually refunded me. I paid state sales taxes, however.

Thanks, Arlin. I appreciate your help.
Continuing...
Woody Crafts might have an option, but I have been pretty irritated with Chinese garbage being passed off as a "fake-rich" competition to Western made tools. Woodcraft make no concession for that disparity in any of their China-made products. Call them the New Wally World of Tools.
The next old tools "boot sale" parking lot sale in the Pac. NW,.... I am going!
