I have not really been looking for a No. 7, but I stop by an antique shop. There in the “shed” of the store was Mr. Rusty. I was going to past, but when they accept my $15.00 offer, home it came.
I cleaned the bottom, sharpened the blade, and made this small pile of shavings. It cut through the raw sawn walnut with ease.
I think it is a keeper. I will continue to clean it up. I will try to post photos along the way.

I don’t play with my bigger planes much as usually only working on smaller projects.
Bigger plane do help on those longer boards.4 January 2014 at 12:30 am #25163Good find. It will make a fine tool. Clean it up and give it a second life.

I really don’t know how much I will use it. I mill almost all my boards by hand from rough sawn lumber purchased from a local hardwood retailer. I milled two (4ft) boards with the No. 7 today. It was a different feel altogether. It is heavier for sure, but it seem to make short work of the milling process. I will restore the plane and use it along with my No. 4, 4 1/2, 5, and 6.
