Hi Ball Peen, it is indeed an Aldi plane. I bought it about 3 years ago, based on forum discussions about the quality of the blade. Before I bought the Woden (above) I used it as my smoothing plane. Not quite the best $14 I ever spent (pretty close though), but after less than half an hour of fettling, it worked really well. (mouth was already square, so just had to square the blade, square the chipbreaker and re-shape the underside of the chipbreaker).
Now I've got the Woden, I might repurpose it as a scrub plane, or maybe keep it as is and buy another one when they come around and either make it into a scrub plane, or use the blade as the basis for making myself a longer bodied wooden plane.

[QUOTE=pmcgee;1771644]I knew/read that 'foreign' was a code for German ... I figured it was after WW2 ... but ...UNQUOTE
Of later years one could be forgiven for thinking our political masters have deemed "foreign" to have a very different meaning in Australia to what it used to..!! I'm still looking for Reds under beds. Does this apply to tools too??
