King of planes - Stanley No. 8 Restoration

I have had this Stanley No. 8 for a few months and finally got round to restoring it, Its big and beautiful and dates from 1907-1909 a type 10 - these are quite rare in the UK and I was lucky to come across one in such good original condition. I also show some of the ways of identifying your own Stanley Bailey planes.
