    Be careful there. A #7C and #8C are not the same plane as a #607C and a #608C.

    To say they are the same for price comparison purposes would be like comparing, say, a Bailey with a Bedrock...

    Thanks Schoo, I know the Bedrock series was Stanley's "Premium" line.

    Been to Kiama and picked up a No 8 for 225 pancakes . It will need a new blade in a while, so I'll price blades around the world . . . gotta love the net!

    Also got a modern 4 1/2 (55), Ward 1/2" mortice chisel and a bunch of different bits for my braces(drill bits, counter sinks etc) + a Jarrah Burl from Mal. I ran out of money for more timber !

    Funny thing was. I was looking for rough and ready planes, but I found ones that with a little cleaning and a hone of the blade, both planes are loving the Tallowwood. Thanks to John from the Traditional Tools group.

    Was there a show event on at Kiama? If so 1/2 your luck, its been a while since I went to one. Nice way to spend the day.

    I've got some stuff from Hans before, and have to agree that his user quality tools are in good nick.

    I went to the htpaa sale last year and found that the "dealers" were great. (I really don't like to use that word - is there a word to describe blokes with woodwork tool and garage sale habits that trade in tools to finance further tool adventures? )
    Ended up buying a cuppa for one (a cuppa cost 50c I think) and yarning for a 1/2 hour. All good stuff.
    Cheers,
    Clinton
