    I just purchased a Stanley 45 off ebay. My intent was to use this as parts or at least i would have some cutters. But in looking at the pictures as i have not received it yet, it appears to be complete. I would like to clean it up and use it. There appears to be some rust; well lots of rust...

    Stanley 45

    Finally managed to get a functional combination plane. I have been looking for a set of cutters for a Stanley 50 I have, but this came along and I decided to go ahead and get it. It has all but a couple cutters. The rust is fairly minimal. It also didn't have the long arms, but I can live...

    Stanley 45 Gloat

    Thought I'd post a photo or two of my new old Stanley 45 that I got at last weekend's meeting of the MWTCA at Bethania. It's in nice condition with a basic set of cutters and the original box and instructions. I already ran a test bead with one of the cutters, and it worked quite well. Been...

    Stanley Bedrock Plane Repair

    I have found an old Stanley #4 Bedrock pland in need of much TLC, but the only thing wrong with it is the lever that controls the angle of the blade is broken. Is it possible to replace this? Where or who can repair it if I can find a replacement? Thanks.

    How to store your Stanley #45 plane

    Many people pick up a Stanley #45 plane and wonder how to store all of the pieces. During its manufacture, the #45 was shipped in various containers, from wood, to metal, and finally (I think) paper. None of these shipping containers do the plane justice. Most require that the plane be stripped...
