I was thinking we buy an old xyz plane from the past all rusted and beaten up and spend hours tuning it up and bringing it back to life. Often paying significant $$ for this old plane.
So when i saw Woodcraft has the No4 Groz on clearance sale for $16.70 how bad can this plane be. Surely for a guy thats just getting into fettling a plane it would be a good starting point to find out all the pitfalls of a plane and fix em?
I am thinking this could make a good contest project among those who know planes to take one and make it perform and report on it and have a comparison done by a common judge.
Seems to me the entry fee of less than $20 to get a plane would not be bad. If it dont work one has a decent paperweight.
What say the Neanders ?
Never had one of these in my hands so dont know just how bad they can be......
