I have approximately 30 wood hand planes that I'm trying to sell for a lady friend whose father passed away. Any ideas on how or where to accomplish this task?

Hi! I am a beginner and have been trying to learn how to hand plane. I recently bought a restored Stanley No. 4 hand plane. I was inspected all the pieces and noticed that the chipbreaker sits crooked on the iron. I have added a picture of it. Will this affect it in a noticeable way? thank you!

I decided to build a couple of side tables for my wife (she's been asking for them for 2 yrs:eek:) and it wasnt in the original 'mind design' but I figured I'd throw some Breadboard Ends on it and use it as a tutorial! I'll be doing this build with primarily traditional hand tools but you can...
