Many thanks for everyone's thoughts on my plane questions.

  A couple of list members have offered me package deals of
  combinations of #3, #4, #5, #7, and #8 that I am looking over.
  I could use a good explanation of the different Stanley types
  (10, 13, 19, etc). I did read over Patrick's B&G, but didn't
  get a good feel for what the difference between a type 13 #5
  and type 19 #5 was.

  My next question: What saws?

  I presume a backsaw, tenon, and dovetail? From what maker?
