I acquired a toolbox and some tools that seem to be from the early
1800's. If you're interested in seeing them and perhaps commenting on
them, please visit http://www.netcrafting.com/tools. I would really
appreciate knowing what some of these are for.

The wooden plane is wrongly assembled. Extract the wedge and irons, turn
them upside down and re-assemble. Whether it works or not will depend
largely on the sharpening (or lack thereof) of the iron and the amount of
set (projection of the sharp edge beyond the sole - a couple of thou or so).
