For living in the middle of nowhere, you really come up with some stuff.  And
your chisel plane is lovely.  I found a broken 9-1/2 (standard, common as dirt
block plane Jeff) that had the front broken off, and cut it down to a chisel
plane.  I ground the blade and took off the burr and it seemed to work fine so I
didn’t spend any more time on it.  Been about 6-7 years IIRC, and I have used it
once - but it looks cool on the shelf, which is the point, right?

My problem with having lots of tools is that when I need to solve a woodworking
problem, I never remember I have the solution until after I’ve solved it another
way
