    Stanley No. 78 Scrub Plane Conversion

    I came across this post a while back and thought it was a neat idea. I recently found a No. 78 Made in England that was missing the fence and depth stop and decided to convert it to a scrub plane à la Paul Sellers. There was a fair bit of rust and the previous owner had put some deep scratches...

    Why not corrugated soles?

    I recently saw a comment suggesting smooth sole planes were generally better users than corrugated. Two of three of my favorite planes, my #4 and #5 are corrugated. I was wondering what wisdom is suggesting this? Sure, if trimming a 1/8 edge I can see that, but why else?

    Antique Planes and Marking Gauge

    Found these today in a local antique shop - all for 20% off their prices. Total cost was just $61 OTD. The marking gauge looks like it’s made of ebony(?)...

    Veritas Prices!

    I was shocked today to see what folks were bidding for Veritas low angle block planes on eBay. I was shocked until I double-checked the Lee Valley prices. It looks like there have been two price jumps in the last few months! The latest change (in the past few days) took the DX60 (with a PMV-11...

    Block Plane Repair

    I am in the middle of making the bench plane I just bought from an antique mall functional. I paid all of $20 for it and have done a majority of the repairing just today. I have watched a fair share of plane repair/ refinish/ sharpening videos to get by with the work myself - at least I hope...

    My first hand plane purchase!!

    I just purchased my first planes today. After looking around a little online, I decided to look for a used one that had a few years of age on it. Super excited about them. I now need to read up on how to properly sharpen the blade and get the plane set correctly. I purchased two planes. From...

    Ohio Tool Company Plane

    I have been wanting a wooden jack plane for a while now. I have two jointer planes, a 24" and 30", a wooden transitional smoother, but I felt like I needed a wooden jack plane. I found this great deal and jumped on it. When it arrived the body was fairly dry and the iron was well rusted. I...

    Hey guys, I had a visit from my Uncle Dave this past weekend, and he dropped off some more old tools for my growing collection. Among them was the plane shown below. I hadn't seen anything like this before and searched and searched on Google trying to figure out what it is, and finally...

    Workbench plane stop

    Every once and awhile i like to take a break from the woodworking and create something in the smithy for the shop. The first item I made was a set of holdfasts. This time I made some traditional plane stops. I have some wooden ones, but these metal ones are better in thicker stock. They can hold...

    panel raiser plane reprofile

    Old profile produced a concave rounding of the panel. I wanted a more traditional straight bevel to a flat tongue.
