This was an old Great Neck Corsair stored in a painters shop for the last 30 years. Is this the best cheap hand plane? Not even close. But you can find them in my area for 10 - 20 bucks. After the tune up it did perform well. I was actually quite happy with it. I plan on using it more to see how the edge retention is. After that it will most likely not be a daily user, but this one has a history and is significant to me. It's the only tool I have that belonged to my grandpa. I'll probably stick it on the shelf next to my Stanleys. I spent about an hour tuning it up and the shavings were proper.
