Very cool. I had heard that slicks were mostly boat building and a bit of timber construction of buildings. It's shocking that something that big isn't used with a hammer but is just pushed with the body.

I recently purchased a screw arm plow plane that came with 15 cutters. I've been wanting one for a while.






I've got a 1/2" reverse ogee molding plane on the way so I can make molding for door stops that matches what's in our place where someone has put modern molding in.



I've also got a few other wooden planes, a match set 3/4" TnG, plus a screw arm planking plane (large, adjustable tongue), and another pair of TnG planes marked 8/8, plus a couple other random wooden planes. I've got a slew of old cast iron planes, braces, breast drills, chisels. I have to stop myself from spending more money on old tools.
