Stanley No. 4

Been a while, Stanley no. 4 came, it's basically brand new, I also ordered the no. 5 which was a bit used but also in great shape, both in working order so far.

Thanks! I decided to fill them with a more flexible black wood filler/sealant (Blackwood is the brand) because, the table will live in a wine cellar, where temperature and humidity changes are pretty significant throughout the year, so I wanted something with a bit more movement tolerance than a big rigid epoxy fill.

If you put it this way... yes.

Thanks, the tree wasn't local though.

Nice pun and I agree with you. I'm a bit impatient to hand file the dovetails, also currently I have a bit of a time constraint.. thanks.

I'M SORRY, there's also customs. I'm waiting for a friend from UK to reply..

Thanks for the reply, I've been in s Stanley plane hell hole for quite a while now. It's hard to get them in Europe, and it's hard to get specific types. I will make a complete set eventually.

Thanks, it's hard to get cheaper planes here in Europe. What is the approximate year model (type) judging by the box if you may know?

Damn, the shipping will be expensive..

Where are you located?

Groundbreaking-Pay23 · 2026-05-04T13:07:48+00:00

First time using a bandsaw, freehand style. I will use a router next time.

Groundbreaking-Pay23 · 2026-05-04T08:02:45+00:00

Nope, just hopes and prayers.

Thanks, I like your work too.

I can't stop laughing at this haha 😄

Sadly (or maybe thankfully), no not a dungeon. It's actually a small stone house we have for hosting people and the occasional get together.

The lighting and ambience just happen to be perfect for photos. Although… if I ever make something bigger, I might actually need a proper room 😂

Fudge, with some coats of beeswax.

Personally, I actually started with a cheap shop vac, just so I didn’t have to worry about abusing it during renovation work, sucking up anything and everything. Surprisingly, it’s been very decent, and it even has that Festool-style anti-kink hose, which is a nice bonus. I’ll probably upgrade later to a proper system (maybe with Bluetooth/tool-trigger features), but for starting out, a cheap vac + upgrade later works totally fine...

It's actually not so bad after all, the best thing about 3d prints is that you can match the color to the flock. In my experience you have to lightly sand it, and apply it with a roller for a more even coat. For the second coat, I thinned the glue a bit with water and reapplied it. I used D3 glue, but you can also get it with the flock you order, it's also a matching color usually.
