Hand Plane Restoration

My husband likes to buy crappy looking used hand planes at garage sales and flea markets given they are foundationally sound and under $10. I asked why he needs multiple planes and I think he said something about different blade angles and thickness. Wood. Yep.

I do think he does a nice job restoring them, though. Check out what a little sanding and buffing and staining can do! He could probably resell them for a good profit but I bet my  packrat snookum wookums hangs on to them for a few decades.

With all these hand planes, it makes me wonder why he has that big loud planing machine that is conveniently run during naptimes. Hmmm?

Love you, hon!
