    Thumbs up Stanley hand planes.

    Stanley hand planes.

    I went for a drive today and visited an anteek shop in Coldstream Vic.
    They had a few planes so they may be worth a visit.
    They even had a compass plane but I couldnt see the price.
    The other planes seemed cheap, but I dont know what Im looking at.

    The shop is on the right hand side heading towards Yarra Glen from Lilydale.

    No idea Dan.
    There was a biggish plane there about 10-12" long.
    It was the other Stanley brand, buggered if I can remember the name.

    We went through a couple of anteek shops today so prices are a blur.

    But the one in Coldstream had the better planes.

    I rember going to the shop in Coldstream 2 years ago and they had a whole tool chest of old Darkside stuff, I was going to buy it holus bolus, but they wanted $650.

    I think these planes are from the same stash..

    Maybe I should have bought the lot?

    Rightho Stirlo,

    Stanley Bailey BENCH PLANES are numbered according to size. #1 being the smallest & #8 being the biggest. All numbers after these are for specialist planes. eg; #10 or #10½ or #10¼ are rebate planes with the blades full width of the body.
    Have a look at the bible on all Stanley planes HERE Patrick Leach will guide you through all Stanley planes
    Cheers
