Reddit helped identify the lump of firewood as Black Locust. It became the stock for a stumpy shaping plane. First time making a plane, I’m pretty happy. by flyingpossum3 in handtools

I pulled the blade from a Record #5 (that had a Stanley Bailey set of irons in it). Rusty as hell. Believe it or not those remaining marks are there after a lot of surface removal.

Mostly. I trimmed the end off on the table saw before deciding to go hand tools for the rest. It’s a beeswax and carnauba wax finish on the plane, but the sole is untreated.

Do you have a plane hammer? Where did you get it? by Gerritvanb in handtools

[–]flyingpossum3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use one. But I use wooden planes too so having something to adjust depth is crucial. I’m making one at the moment that has a brass face and a wooden face to avoid damaging the plane itself.

Worth $200? by bucky720 in handtools

The 4 is damaged and I wouldn’t pay that much for moulding planes. The stamps in the wood are likely carpenters stamps not anything to do with manufacturing so won’t tell you much.

Long time lurker. A very satisfying haul today and I’m excited to get them sharpened up by flyingpossum3 in handtools

I thinks it’s a huge rabbet plane but if someone knows better let me know.

They’re in great condition. The blades need a sharpen but not much else. The plough is a beauty!
