I think not. Chris built Pop Woodworking into a very reputable publication that lasted for some years. I'll bet it breaks his heart to see it fall to this sad state.

Was referring to the no.1 in the link. Not the Stanley plane.

when did planning a piece of wood change to "Downsizing"??
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

I thought Pop Wood was dead and long gone. They had a web front-page with a few free plans available for a while, and that was it.
Heirlooms are self-important fiction so build what you like. Someone may find it useful.
