I got a Stanley #5 Fore Plane, dirty, but 100% excellent condition.
Price?
$0.00
I discovered it walled up in a non-load bearing wall while renovating
a house built in the 30's. I suspect it is newer than that, but the
wall had been added much later than that.
All I had to do was take it apart, clean it, and oil it. Oh, and
sharpen the iron.
THere was a very, very faint coating of surface rust that wore off in
five minutes of use.

And here I thought I did good buying 775 BF of pecan for 350.00 yesterday.
The local dealers are getting 5.00 per BF. Now all I have to do is find a
few projects to use it on.

So, have you tried to borrow a metal detector for the other walls yet? As
opposed to opening them up with a wrecking bar;-)

Well, maybe on the next teardown.

I didn't need to. The house had partially burned (fortunately not the
wall with my plane in it, and we stripped it out to the studs and
