>Well -

No 311 types on the board...but do have 3 or 4 others coming soonish...

Have to do a "cheek" plane too...

Uh oh...

>"Cheek" plane eh?

So let's see... you said 3-4 more...

We know about the Large shoulder plane.

That makes one

A "Cheek" plane might be a rabbet style block plane... or *gasp* a skew block plane...

That's two...

Not sure what three or four would be.

Got any hints?

>I "heard tell" that Henry Ford used to say about the Model T that you could have any color you wanted, as long as it was black. Like the black Stanleys, the Model T was Japanned. The auto makers and plane makers have made a lot progress in finishing technology since those days, so I guess I ought to keep the Kunz, even if Martha Stewart didn't have anything to do with picking the new colors.

OK...

>... here're the hints...

So far, It looks like $169, $119, $95, $28, $109, $75, and possibly a $95 (depending on the blade).

But you can't hold me to that....

Well $169 would be in line for a large shoulder plane...

Doing the math ( a progression that is)

Bullnose plane is $129

Med. Shoulder plane is $139

*Lrg. Shoulder plane = $169*

Continuing on...

$119...

that *might* be right for a block rabbet plane...

After all your low-angle block is $99; assuming a rabbet block is a bit more, that would fit.

The other prices don't jump out...

Not sure which one would be the drawknive(s)
