Vent: Spent $80 on a vintage hand plane that barely works
I grabbed an old Stanley plane from a flea market in Austin thinking I scored a bargain, but the sole is warped and the blade chatters like crazy. Tried sharpening and lapping it myself with sandpaper, but it just burns the wood instead of cutting smooth. Anyone got tips for fixing a warped plane bottom without a machine shop?

Ngl we've all been there turning firewood into angry splinters.

Used to think any vintage tool was gold, but man that stuff is mostly junk unless you get lucky.
