Well, the last entry on this Tool Collecting thread was 9 years ago so I can see the interest in it is rapidly reaching a fever pitch.  I am a collector, I collect vintage hand tools, especially planes.  I am able to use hand tools at times and enjoy that too.  We all have our favorites and I'm no different.  I like Stanley bench planes, Stanley compass planes, and Stanley scraper planes the best but have other brands here and there too.  I know a lot of you from a different site that have some very nice collections and attractive plane tills that I'm sure people would enjoy seeing, so is there any interest in reviving this old thread?
