Pwk5017 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 If anyone is looking to buy their first plane or add a 4 or 5 to their arsenal, I have about fifty to sell. In addition, I have a bunch of spare blades if somebody wants to keep a few spare blades with different angles on hand. Attached is an example of what I have on hand. I'm thinking around $20-25 a plane plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I think they are good starting planes, but how did you end up with 50? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not think of that, but i will take the suggestion to the bank, sir! Im a member of the guild and despite being 29, im sorta anti facebook. I remember when i was 18 and you needed a .edu email address to join. My friends were so amped when we got accepted to our respective schools. I didnt share their enthusiasm back then and i certainly do not now. Still, i understand facebook marketplaces to be a less sketchy version of craigslist, and thus more popular. Bryan, I was an idiot and bid on a local school auction. I went for the unisaw, pm66, and 14" radial arm saw and i came back with 80+ planes. I think i lost track of what i was bidding on/winning and here i am. A real "wtf were you thinking?!?" moment packing up my hatchback with so many friggin planes. I cant use my workbench because it is full of planes right now. The level of self loathing is very high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use it for a few closed groups...I do not and never will post my daily minutiae on it. I use a phony name and my avatar is the same one you're looking at now. It's pretty lame that you have to participate in something you hate so badly in order to participate in a large part of society. And as an aside...I absolutely hate the facebook interface. Not just the way it promotes superficial relationships and an unintelligent exchange of ideas...but the technical aspects as well. I find it convoluted and confusing to navigate, and at least on my computers, slow to load and constantly buggy. For a trillion dollar company, it's pretty mediocre. Maybe it's just me.

Pondhockey Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 If you have the patience for it, they will all sell on eBay; you could make a part time career of it! [edit: hopefully after I get a few from you!] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterDrow Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'd be willing to take a couple off of your hands! What would shipping be to Meridian, ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I can use a couple more no. 5's. I have plenty of smoothing planes, and two no.6's that I keep different cambered blades on that have become a lot more useful than I ever expected them to. My no. 5 toolbox has some more room in it, and I'd like to keep a few different cambered blades ready to go. I'm not much for swapping blades. When I'm in the middle of working on something, I like to just grab what I need and go to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 You wouldn't happen to have a #113 in pristine condition, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwk5017 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Great, I'll PM everyone separately so I can work out the details. Thanks for the interest. If i had a 113, I probably would sell it! No need for that wacky thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 We're gonna need you to post pictures of all of them. I wanna see this horde of planes on your workbench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Achtenberg Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'd love to procure at least one of each! Send me a PM too (Please!) if you have any left! I have zero planes currently and am looking to actually do the whole "hybrid woodworking" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyokahn Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Guessing you already got rid of most of the good ones by now? Really need a block plane and a decent #4. Any left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm really pleased with the two no. 5's. I just opened the box today. I'm not one that cares a bit what year they were made in, or what type number they are. Both will be fine users. I think I have enough bench planes now.

Mine have been apparently hanging out in Colorado for three days (rocky mountain high?) [Edit: they arrived tonight (7/26.) They look good, especially the #4 that I was most interested in. Many thanks.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
