Thread: I found this plane at a second hand store

So long as its sole is pretty flat and the blade can be sharpened to take a good edge, that should be a good user.

As Jeremy said. If it's any good at all that's a good price.
Cheers,

That looks pretty good actually - I've turned worse than that into an excellent user!

$35 from a 2ndhand store is good going.

There's a lot of rust on the blade, just make sure that the blade that sticks out from under the chip-breaker isn't too corroded to resharpen successfully.

The rest of it looks good, and if the blade isn't viable it's just an excuse to upgrade it.

well i pulled the plane apart, the blade has a lot of pitting where the blade and the chip breaker is exposed at the top, but down the bottom its fairly good need to be sharpend. i put a strate edge along the sole and there seem to be a small drop - hollow at the back of the plane. the paint is good all over, the wood handles need sanding back and re-varnishing. no cracks. over all im happy
