: I was going to suggest the same thing. I've actually purchased
: three sweetheart Baileys (4,5 & 8) on Ebay in the last month
: with great luck in all three cases. I would think block planes
: would be a little tougher just because they tend not to be made
: well enough to really last.

Have to disagree with that. Older Stanley(Bailey) block planes are just as well made as the hand planes. They were quality tools, not like todays junk. Of course there are damaged ones out there, but it's going to mostly from abuse or being dropped.

But that is why I like dealing with Walt and Brass City. He is not as cheap as a deal on EBay but doesn't sell junk either. I know what I am getting and if I don't like it for some reason Walt just says send it back, no problem.

And I do still buy off EBay sometimes.
