I just don't get out to the shop very much anymore. So, I'm letting go of my Lie-Nielsen No. 2 Bronze Bench Plane. As you might expect, I'm sorry to see it go, but I'd rather it have a good home than just sit on the shelf.This No. 2 plane is clean, never dropped, well-maintained and oiled & polished up for arrival at your shop.This plane is in very good condition, well cared for and always ...stored in the sock and box. The auction includes the official Lie-Nielsen Plane Sock, which helps cut down on corrosion in a humid environment, along with the original box. The box is in very good condition; it has a few oil spots and scratches, but it did what a box is supposed to do.Yes, the plane has some DNA on the surfaces. It was used well in a fine woodworking shop, after all. I've tried to take good pictures of the various details so that you can see exactly what you're getting. Please note that in order to show details, I lit the plane up under lights and used a high-end camera. The images are merciless, and show a lot of detail. In "real life", the scratches and such are minor.Knowing how particular we woodworkers can be, I've gone around the plane to highlight any flaws.The callouts I see are:There are two small dings, one near the nose on the port side, and one about midway back on the starboard side.There are some very slight scratches on the right side, not so much on the left.There is a very slight ding on the forward edge.Ever so slight corrosion on a small spot on the chipbreaker.There is the typical light scratching on the sole, expected during normal use. They are light enough to level out, if you care to do so. I wouldn't bother.You will want to re-bevel and re-sharpen the blade. I don't know what angle I left it at last time. It'll probably work just fine as it is, though. It is sharp at this time.Aside from the above minor flaws, there are no substantial dings, scrapes, or gouges to be seen. It's a wonderful piece of kit.Please check the pictures carefully for the above mentions.The Lie-Nielsen No. 2 plane current retails for $275
