I am not a sentimental person – at least I aspire not to be.  Old wooden carpentry planes are easy to find and often made from well seasoned hardwood and tool grade steel.  I am sure many of us have saved similar items from being skipped.  In this video, and following on, I will recycle the wooden plane to create several tools that I need and would like to make.  In retrospect, if I had used a jointer jig on the table saw or the mini router jointer, I would have got a much truer straight edge from which to cut parallel sections, however the results are pretty good.
