Hi Matt,
Congratulations on obtaining your new (to you) 778. Finding those or the Stanley 78 is getting increasingly harder to do. I searched and searched…..sigh and then was watching Paul use (as he put it) his very favorite plow plane. I am normally a lower budget kind of guy…well, except for the occasional/getting too frequent tool purchase. Anyway, back to the plane. I spent an evening with a cocktail at hand looking at the plane on the internet. The more I looked, the more I coveted and the more I felt deprived of having this wonderful tool in my shop. Have you ever seen the beautiful brass knobs? They are really shiny. My wallet was saying, “Listen up big guy this is a lot of money.” On the other hand, my AmEx kept peeking out and sorta like the devil got behind me and pushed. I am the proud owner of the Veritas plow plane and everything they had to go with it(a further moment of weakness). I also happen to own a $175 Buck hunting knife that I purchased under the same conditions a couple of years ago. I may need to hook up one of those breath-a-lizer switches for my internet connection.
I just signed up to follow your blog…..and sober too.
Cheers,
Dan
