oisteinholand, I used to have an antique wood planer that I inherited from my grandfather. I'm not a woodworker, but I treasured it as something from him to me. About 6 years ago my home was broken into and most of my belongings were stolen when I was out of state. Fortunately for me I have the memories of my Papa and those things he left me, even if I don't have the items themselves. I wish you good fortune in your journey.
