Any woodworkers?

Anyone in need of a #5 bench plane? Its in good condition and takes shavings just fine. I cant tell who makes it, but the iron saw "Buckeye Cleveland OH." on it. There is an owners mark "MGA" stamped in the side. No cracks, welds, chips. I refinished the knob and tote about a year ago. The japanning is in decent shape, a little is missing from the normal areas (heel and toe).

 

I found a #607 a few years ago at a TAG sale. paid $25. i dated it back to the early 1900s, somewhere around 1907. I found ones like it on ebay going for $300+. i use it all the time. that thing is a battleship, literally.

Here it is before i cleaned it up.

 

any value to a planer like the first pic? a friend has a couple that is selling his stuff I just wondered how much they are worth.

 

Depends on the manufacturer and model. Some $20, others $200.

 

I think one was a stanley but not certain. I have to check them later.

 

I've been known to cut a piece of wood, or assemble Ikea Furniture.....

 

It very much depends on the manufacturer. Antique Stanley (Bailey / Bedrock) and Record planes are probably the best at holding their value. The Stanley Handyman series are a dime a dozen.

The cheapest Stanley I have is my #4 (pictured above). It was super rusty, I paid $15 at a local flea market. The most expensive was the #2 (also above) at $235. Most of them however were in the $30-60 range. And they all needed cleanup work.

 

Please do!!!

 

My #7 i picked up on CL for about $60. The patent date behind the frog is 1902. Super cool. The #607 and #8 are probably about the same in weight. They are massive. It doesnt take long to work up a sweat.

 

a little wax on the bottom of the plane makes a HUGE difference in the amount of work you put in to it.

 

of course!

 

Went today and one was a stanley #7 but in poor condition. one I couldnt find any markings other than made in the USA and one looked like this in fair condition, Not sure if its exactly the same

 

Prob just wall hangers

 

That pic is of a 78, its missing the fence and fence rod. Those parts are usually lost, and hard to come by.

 

mines not that close...how far are you talking maybe just do a sidewalk?

 

Heres a pic, prob not worth much since they are pretty beat up....but would be good wall art.
