Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a Stanley No. 7 plane and would really appreciate any tips or leads on where to find one. I'm located in Ireland, so that might complicate things a bit. Also, if you know of any other makers that produce decent jointer planes, I'd love to hear about those too!

Don't limit your search to just Stanley. I have an old Union with a corrugated sole and a thick blade, and honestly, it’s the best plane in my collection. If you're keen, check eBay—there's one up for grabs that ends soon. Also, look into Sargent planes; they're great too. If a No. 7 is hard to find, a No. 6 or even a transitional plane could be a good alternative.
Which eBay are you referring to? .ie, .com, or .co.uk?
