Recently was gifted an American Boy hand plane from my Dad. He said it was originally my great-grandfather's.

I was once given a couple of hand planes, and instead of restoring them I gave them to a woodworker who worked for the same company, thinking "When am I ever going to use a hand plane?".

Turns out about one a week I was borrowing one from him. They're super tools to have!
