I was once offered a regular wedge set beech jointer plane about 5' long.
   Regular sized jointer blade and closed jointer tote.
Everything normal except super duper long body.

The ask was too much and they wouldn't come down, but the sight of it 
stuck with me.
  I kept asking about it for several years whenever I could, but nobody 
came up with anything.
until...............................
  It was finally John Walters who had seen one too, and had heard the 
makers of wooden water tanks ordered them special.

   It might have been worth the asking price, but I didn't have the 
money regardless.  haahhaah
     yours again scott
