Got a new addition for my plane collection this week. Went to Asheville, NC, and picked this old transitional plane up at an antique store there. A belated birthday present from my mother in law. It's about 110 years old.

I didn't start out wanting to be a plane collector. These are tools that I use, and each has a special job it does. I've got 8 of them so far. Each has a story.

Don't you think that's a bit unkind?

There's a place in Denver called Packrat Antiques that has great science antiques. There's an old man who runs it who is notoriously rude. My experience matched most of the negative reviews you'll find here:

and here:

I was looking at slide rules and when I didn't buy one he said, You just wasted 45 minutes of my time! Don't hurry back!

(I feel like I've posted this before.)

I've never heard of that place. Now I want to go visit it.

I remember playing with one of my grandfather's planes when I was little. I still have the scars.

Carpentry runs in the family, then, eh?

I guess it's deeply ingrained ...

Glatt, I have a couple of those small metal ones. I inherited them indirectly from my wife's father who got them from his father.

Mmmmm... Doo Dads! The original snack mix in a box. I want some. The stuff that comes in a bag just isn't as good.

I'm with you on that. I wish you could buy a box of Doo Dads.

Do you just pick those up on the side of the road?
