OK WELL ...
WHEN FOLKS COME HERE THEY EXPECT TO SEE SAWS.
AND ONLY SAWS.
BUT, I AM JUST OVERWHELMED WITH ...
THE AMOUNT OF STUFF I'VE ACCUMULATED OVER MY LIFETIME, SO ...
AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS NOT .... A SAW.
NOR IS IT SOME KINDA JOKE.
THE FACT IS .....
I AM JUST TOO OLD, LAZY ...
AND STOOPID ...
TO CREATE A NEW LISTING FOR THIS OLD PLANER.
SO ....
YOU CAN JUST DISREGARD ANY SAW RELATED STUFF ...
IN THE BLAH BLAH BLAH FOUND BELOW THE DESCRIPTION.
AND JUST GO LOOK AT THE PICTURES.
UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY BORED ...
WITH ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS.
WHICH MAY BE FURTHER WASTED .....
IN LOOKING AT THE OTHER UGLY STUFF LISTED.
(LIKE SAWS)
OR .....
OTHER PLANES, OR ....
JUST WHATEVER.
BUT PERSONALLY ...
I WOULDN'T EVEN BOTHER.
ANYWAY ......
THE STANLEY No.4 SMOOTHING PLANE …
AS FAR AS THE "TYPE" OR PRODUCTION DATES ....
YOU WOULD LIKELY KNOW BETTER THAN I.
BUT THEN EVEN WITH OVER 65 YEARS OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE ….
I AM CERTAINLY NO EXPERT IN THE “TYPE STUDY”.
THE ACADEMICS WOULD CERTAINLY KNOW BETTER.
TO ME IT IS A TOOL THAT IS HAPPIEST AT WORK.
SERVING YOU.
TOGETHER.
FUNCTIONALLY PERFECT ....
THE IRON AND CHIP BREAKER HAVE BEEN HONED, FITTED AND ....
TESTED.
ALL PARTS COATED WITH MY SPECIAL FORMULA ANTI-CORROSION ...
"JESUS JUICE"
BUT ASIDE FROM THAT ... NOT ENHANCED IN ANY WAY
ASIDE FROM REFINING THE PERFORMANCE AND LUBRICATION .....
IT REMAINS PRETTY MUCH IN IT'S "AS FOUND" STATE.
STUDY THE UNFORGIVING "MACRO" PHOTOS
ASIDE FROM BEING JUST PLAIN OLD, AND ...
THE COMPLETE ABSENCE OF ....
THE LOVELY SPECKS OF OLD ENAMEL, THAT ….
WE HAVE ALL BECOME SO FOND OF.....
THIS TOOL HAS A FEW MINOR PURELY COSMETIC ISSUES TO NOTE:
MINOR PLATING WEAR AND ....
A TINY CHIP FROM THE CORNER OF THE LEVER CAP.
JUST LIKE ME ....IMPERFECT.
IF THAT EVEN MATTERS TO YOU.
FOR THOSE WHO KNOW THE INTRINSIC VALUE IN OWNING TOOLS ...
NOT SO RARE OR PRISTINE THAT THEY WOULD EVER GIVE PAUSE ....
IN USING AS INTENDED.
NOW TESTED.
PROVEN.
EXPERIENCED.
AND JUST PERFECTLY ...
"UGLY"
YOU CAN TRUST THAT....
DESPITE IT'S HORRENDOUS APPEARANCE ...
IT FUNCTIONS ....
PERFECTLY ....
IN EVERY WAY.
AND ...
IS READY TO WORK RIGHT FROM THE GIT GO.
I GUESS THAT IS ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW.
STUDY THE LOUSY UNFORGIVING MACRO DIGITAL PHOTOS AND ...
**** NOTING THAT THE DEFAULT SHIPPING METHOD IS ....
VIA USPS PRIORITY MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX.
IF YOU WOULD BE BIDDING OTHER STUFF THAT MAY ALSO FIT ...
THE ADDITIONAL ITEM(S) WILL SHIP AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE ....
(FREE)
JUST PLEASE DO NOT PAY ….
UNTIL ALL ITEMS HAVE COMPLETED AND ….
YOU HAVE RECEIVED AN ADJUSTED INVOICE REFLECTING THIS.
IT RUNS AS YOU'VE GROWN TO EXPECT FROM ME.
AND THAT IS ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW.
