Restoring 100- to 200-year-old woodworking planes

If I ever make it back home I'll check out my granfather's basement. I'm sure there are some 19th century planes floating about.

Great stuff. I do most of my finishing with metal planes but all the heavy dimensioning is done with an old wooden jack and a comparatively new German scrub plane. They're so much lighter.
