A vacation and some hand planes.

I was on a short 4 day vacation last week at the family cabin. I spent a good part of 3 days on the deck playing with some planes I had not yet worked through.
I got a new Veritas MKII honing guide system, some new oil stones, and set up shop. It was glorious weather and most enjoyable.
The planes you see there are a a Sargent VBM 409 (old, pre 1900), Stanley #4 era 1933 to 1941, a Millers Falls #17, a Stanley 220, a Stanley 60 1/2, a Stanley #118, and a Stanley #75 bullnose plane. They are all clean, some repainted, and sharp as the dickens now, ready to use.
I still have a bunch more to work up, but these were most of the block planes. :)
