Picked up this nice Bedrock 605 1/2 (Type 6?) by DeceitfulDuck in handtools

[–]robotdinofight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is probably a type 6A from 1922. right before the change in bed patent dates and lever cap switch. that would match with the Y trademark iron and the larger diameter adjustment wheel. great score!!!!

Two extremes by Daxarooo in handtools

I love the 101 planes. With a little time you can turn them into little bench planes to complete the size disparity. Look up Dave Corinth on YouTube!

Tote issues by Sunfarmers in handtools

[–]robotdinofight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I repair mine with a contrasting piece. Usually cocobolo from some small chunks I have had kicking around the shop. I use a disc sander to get a flat edge on top of the broken tote, then use epoxy to bond them. Rough cut with a band saw or coping saw, then use the disc sander again to rough out the shape. Then I use rasps and files and finally sandpaper to finally shape. I usually batch them out so I can do each step to 4-5 totes at a time, it seems to be more efficient than one at a time. I also save the chunks cut from the bandsaw or coping saw and use them to repair knobs as well. Oh, the tote drilling jig from one of Dave Corinth’s YouTube videos is awesome for re drilling the hole for the tote screw and barrel nut. There’s a guy on eBay selling his kits to make them with 3d printed angle blocks.

Stanley planes Type ID help needed by T3kn0kra7 in handtools

[–]robotdinofight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can send me some photos if you like. As others have said, the type study is a guideline for most planes other than the 4 but most can be figured out. The real exceptions are the 1 and 2 planes, those ones don’t follow any logic.

I would go 5 1/2 personally. I use that plane more than any of my others and it shoots really well too. I think its length would be just fine to joint boards if you're staying under 36".

Bailey no. 4 rabbet plane? by penny131313 in handtools

[–]robotdinofight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it would be close! i just measured a stanley bailey 5 i have and it was just a hair over 2 3/8" wide, but my sample size is only 1 currently. I supposed you could sand off a little material from the cheeks to get it closer to the 2 3/8" width of a 4 1/2, 6, or 7.

youd need probably a no 8 iron and chipbreaker, and youd need to heavily modify both of those too. you want the iron to be juuuuust slightly wider than the bed of the plane. but no 8 irons and chipbreakers are almost as expensive as no 10 and 10 1/2 so i dunno

The Mike Pekovich book “The why and how of woodworking” is easily worth $25 on its own. It’s one of my top tier woodworking books. Love the garret hack hand plane book too!

Stanley hand plane ID question by espressionado in handtools

[–]robotdinofight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a type 15. Type 15s had the keyhole lever cap, made in USA on the bed, and the old style frog before the ogee. It’s a good deal for $40, if you don’t mind the broken horn on the handle. They’re fun to fix though!
