If you made it big in seventeenth-century Bavaria, you showed it by creating a garden with all the plants in the known world. That's what Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt did, anyway, and he wasn't about to let his botanical wonderland die with him.

A vintage Stanley Bedrock model, even unrestored, will cost you more than a new TayTools version. Vintage planes are only good if you know how to properly restore and tune one. A new woodworker who has never used a good plane has no idea how one is supposed to feel. I have seen many folks "restore" planes, only to put them on a shelf because they still don't work properly. I used to blame them for that. Rob Cosman was the one who helped me see things differently. He said when he put a premium plane in a student's hands, the difference was night and day. After they had experience with a good plane, they were more equipped to go the "vintage" router for their next one.
