I think handplanes are pretty cool - especially old ones.One of the things I love doing with old handplanes is breathing new life into them. The quality of these grand old tools means that even a plane with 100 years of life behind it can still have a long useful future ahead of it.
At one stage I bought a lot of these planes and slowly restored them before selling them.
There's real pleasure in giving a new lease of life to something old. Whether it's a car or a plane or a piece of furniture, there's something wonderful about seeing old things appreciated, and used.
It flies in the face of a 'throw-away' culture like ours.
