Now this seems ridiculous

No, I think it's the $7.99 Harbor Freight plane. You were off by a buck and a penny. :p

Man, the iron in the pics sure shows a fine edge. I'm guessing they used the 80 grit stone for that one. :rofl:
 
Frank, the picture is still showing. It might take a few seconds for it to load (or at least it did here), but it's still there. ;)
 
I was thinking about this, and while its easy to beat the guy up, there is a possibility that he has feted with them and really got these hand planes tuned up. Its probably not likely, but the reality is, even cheap handplanes can be fussed with enough to make them work exceptionally well. Most of us simply buy the more expensive models because it takes a whole lot less work to get them dialed in.

Just presenting this as a possible explanation.

I do however concede that its more likely that the person is greedy!
