Title: A Stanley 90 and my first Millers falls plane
Post by: stanley62 on July 24, 2016, 02:07:16 PM

I found a couple planes last weekend that I thought I would share.

A Stanley #90 rabbit plane - most of the nickel is intact and no cracks!

#3 size Millers Falls - I usually only look at (and sometimes purchase) Stanley Planes.  This one caught my eye and now it lives at my house.

A lot of people really like M-F planes.  The two-piece lever cap is a nice little piece of gizmosity.

And it's rabbet plane, by the way.  I don't know of anyone making rabbit planes anymore, because it turned out to be just too hard to get the bunnies to hold still while working on them.

But if it were a REBATE plane, could he get his money back?

Well, here, maybe, but not in England.

 Beware of that slippery slope. Next thing may be Sargent and Dunlop.

I thought he was shouting, "de plane, de plane" - making him the first person to use that odd verb beloved by flight attendants everywhere English is spoken; and which always sounds to me like someone being thrown from an airplane in flight.

No slippery slope here...I buy an occasional Sargent plane.  Dunlap...not a chance.
