When it comes to hand planes buying vintage is ideal. They will restore well within an hour or two.
I bought a Bailey no4 for £10 off eBay and it is as good as any Lie Nielsen.
It's probably worth about £50 and an appreciating asset.
As the older generation start passing on and leaving behind good quality Sheffield built tools there are bargains to be had.
But they are getting harder to find now.
Paul sellers YouTube Channel has great videos on restoring and using these things.
