Anyone know owt about Mafac tools from France? I was given these about 10yrs ago by someone who thought he may have had them since 1940s, but wasn't sure.

You took your time...The best or the worst tool I ever found was 42 years ago. Its called a husband.
I used to love planing. It's a very satisfying activity, what with the push and the guide and the ribbons curling out and the smell of it and the sound of it....swish...swish....swish!I used to visit a second-hand woodworking tool shop quite regularly where I picked up a beautiful Miller's Falls plane (American copy of a Stanley plane) and several other traditional hand tools, all of which I use nowadays for the odd DIY project. They have more than repaid the cost and I find a hand plane a good deal less terrifying than a power plane and it's a good workout for the arms and shoulders too.
