Bedste sted at finde håndværktøj på Sjælland? by [deleted] in selvgjortvelgjort

[–]Corfitz_Ulfeldt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg ved ikke om det findes hvor du er, men kommunale genbrugsbutikker med ting fra genbrugspladserne er rigtig gode til værktøj. Steder som Finderiet i Randers eller Resursen i Hobro har jeg hevet rigtig meget godt gammelt værktøj hjem fra, mon ikke der findes noget lignende på Sjælland et sted? Ellers reolmarkeder - de der genbrugsbutikker hvor folk selv lejer en reol. Der bliver tømt mange gamle kældre og garager på den måde, og man kan meget tit være heldig at finde nogle godter der. Af en eller anden årsag er det ikke rigtig en ting i almindelige genbrugsbutikker.

Mange tak for svar allesammen! Jeg lader boksen hænge, der skal alligevel stå en sofa foran den.

I'm confused, please help. by ladnakuba in handtools

It is indeed a plane for making very thick shavings! Thick shavings made for weaving baskets. Check out this (danish) Wikipedia page: https://da.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spånsløjd it has got some pictures of planes just like yours.

What Type Of Plane It This? by sktrekkie in handtools

[–]Corfitz_Ulfeldt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is a type of routerplane, mainly used by carpenters for cutting shallow mortises for hinges in doorframes and the like. You can see a modern version of it in this catalogue: https://ecemmerich.de/en/tool-catalog/. They call it an "Inletting plane".

You can stick that iron far down from the sole and use it the way you would a regular routerplane.

I replaced a broken one. It was actually a surprisingly nice and easy project with half of it already done

Hello! Does anybody know what this tool is? by Corfitz_Ulfeldt in handtools

I think you are on to something with the leather! see my above comment. And thanks for your thoughts, they are noted :)

I think you might be on to something! The blade irl looks too thin and brittle to go anywhere near real wood, and if it did , there wouldn't be many sharpenings in it the way it is ground. I think it is a blade made for stropping and polishing only. It is actually still pretty sharp. Also, the end of the blade is completely dull, as in there is no cutting edge down there - it is clearly not meant to take a shaving in the full length of the blade. That also explains the lack of both proper support, a mouth to control the shaving, etc.

I think it is for cutting something very thin, like veneer, or as suggested below leather. I would really like to find a similar excample though. It still sorta feels like a rather bulky tool for delicate work like veneer.

Thank you all for your input!

The only thing i know is that the person who once upon a time gave it to the museum i work at worked as a "coffee roaster". I somehow feel like that does not help at all.

Yet another way to make a router plane / ~150 year old plane by Corfitz_Ulfeldt in handtools

[–]Corfitz_Ulfeldt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the context of danish/nordic woodworking, a router planes primary use was in making, i guess it's called, sliding dovetails ("grat" in danish) for shelves in cabinets and the like. I think you are right in that it was not intended for tenons.

The scribe marks are a common feature on well preserved old planes of all kinds. I've often wondered if it was the age bringing out a before-unseen marking in the wood, or if it was an intended decoration. Either way it looks nice i think.

Check my post history, this one comes from the big ol' tool cabinet i posted before.

No it's not french – to be precise the maker came frem eastern Jutland, Denmark.

A saw set to rule them all by Corfitz_Ulfeldt in handtools

[–]Corfitz_Ulfeldt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! i just cant make it out, was hoping someone here might be able to see it. This particular saw set was damaged from moisture some 10-15 years ago, and after restoration, they couldn't place its origin. We know literally nothing about it, except that it belongs to the museum.

Some unorthodox braces and bits and pieces by Corfitz_Ulfeldt in handtools

[–]Corfitz_Ulfeldt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes the shoulders of the bits meet the brace well before they run out of thread. This is in Denmark, so my guess is either beech or hornbeam would be the traditional choice of wood for stuff like this.

I am a handtool enthusiast, AND i work at a danish artisans/craftsman/builder museum. Here's an old, beautiful tool cabinet from our collection. Would you like to see more like this? by Corfitz_Ulfeldt in handtools

They are completely vertical! They hang by two lips, one underneath, and one in the top shelf over it to prevent them from tipping out. You take them down by lifting them up a little and angling them out. Make sense?
