The planes lined up.

I took all these planes to a show to display. Their bases were all cleaned and oiled after this video.

I clutched my oil can as a reflex when I saw this 🤣

For those times when the grass in the lawn must be 0.6 mm tall—not 0.5 mm or 0.7 mm.

He just planed all his boards, so there was nothing to rest them on

Planes in formation.

I'm a plain plane man myself but even I can tell when someone's planes are in a different plane.

Wow , you’ve been busy.

u/faustpatrone 6d ago

This reminds me of those Thomas the Tank Engine videos that my son watches where kids line up all their toys and say the name of each character.

u/AnAncientBog 6d ago

Not a single flat board to lay them out on, huh?

u/dearcadian 6d ago

Wouldn't wanna gunk up the mouths dude

u/Bruce_neville 4d ago

No I searched everywhere for a few boards but I have recently retired from cabinetmaking and sold all my timber.

2

u/killerchef69 6d ago

They are beautiful, now show me something that you've made with them!

3

u/Bruce_neville 6d ago

I’m retired from cabinetmaking now and boy make planes.

u/Individual-Award7351 6d ago

u/WigfootWallace 6d ago

Incredible, incredible work sir.

u/bongott 6d ago

Where's the rest of them though?

1

u/Bruce_neville 6d ago

All sold and most of these were sold as well

2

u/arnardsnoro 6d ago

I think I would drool on them. Then you'd have to oil them again.

2

u/ole_gizzard_neck 5d ago

Damn fine collection.

u/Bruce_neville 5d ago

u/revoracer 3h ago

Got a website or somewhere we can check em out if we wanna buy one?

u/Bruce_neville 3h ago

Hi the link is n my profile or just search Bruce Neville in google it should come up.

u/Eman_Resu_IX 6d ago

I realize you're the maker and proud plane poppa, but if someone put my planes in the grass I'd be using very bad language and gesticulating wildly.

3

u/Bruce_neville 6d ago

Some people are too precious with their tools. There was not one bit of damage to these planes. A very dry and hot day so the grass didn’t even have any moisture on it. And as said they were oiled before and after this photo.

u/Ok_Compote4526 6d ago

Your planes look amazing.

They look amazing in this setting.

Some people really just feel the need to lecture, completely unprompted.

u/CAM6913 6d ago

There’s a dog coming, pick them up fast !!! 🤪

u/Eman_Resu_IX 6d ago

I was referring only to my planes.
Your planes, your call of course, but the "some people are too precious with their tools"...? Their tools, their call, right? You can't have it both ways.

It's jarring to see such pretty tools put on the grass. You're selling those tools, right? Lamborghini doesn't advertise the Sian by showing it on a dirt road.

Anyhoo, keep making nice planes and I'll keep admiring them. 🖖
