I have two sets- 0ne for 3/4” boards and one for 1/2” boards. They were made
based on the thickness of the board you’re working. Although I’ve used the 3/4”
set on 1 inch boards- you just have to keep track of the reference face of the
boards or they won’t line up when you’re done.
As I recall I paid less than 60 for all of them. They’re solid users, not
collectors pieces.
You have to buy them together or you’ll waste a lot of time fiddling with the
finished product to make the boards fit together.

I've recently seen a Paul Sellers YouTube in
which he used a pair of
old, wooden tongue and groove planes.
It was in an episode featuring
inlays, but it got me to wondering if
such a pair might be found in the
wild and how much one might have to pay
for them. Failing that, how
would a galoot go about getting irons
made if he were to contemplate
making a prototypical poor man's
version of same. The woodies intrigue
me more than a metal plough plane or a
high gizmocity multi-iron get up
such as the 45.
