An article on making your own toothing plane in The Woodworker magazine, October 1927 also suggests "resinous and oily woods similar to rosewood and padouk do not take kindly to glue unless they have...
The discussion was on the Old Tools List in late January under the thread subject line of "Son of Studley" (it separated into at least two threads, I think - such are the downsides to email...
I don't think the glue is your problem - doing the glue-up using the Planos on your own could well be. I have some, and I like them, but personally I wouldn't dream of using them on a thick bench top...
Heat gun - slips right off, in my experience.
Almost. I believe the thread angle is different though; 60° vs 55° iirc. You can bodge it okay thogh, I understand. (Actually that's a good point - I believe the screw in question is 60° if Rob gets...
I was largely joking about tapping it - although I have form - but contend it's not really "sacrilege" anyway. There are thousands of these planes around and their value is in being useable, not...
Ben, nice score.
I've gone (am going) through a similar dilemma (my blog entries on the matter) and came to the conclusion that a dedicated bench for the Emmert was the way to go. Not that it's...
And Marples, Sorby, Rapier, Carter, Davleco, Sharmanco, Voskov, Lewin, Howkins, Sargent, Siegley ...
I love plough plane nuts - obsession loves company.:D
It's tricky, really being one of those personal preference things. My BD #7 is an oldish Stanley, and I'm not kidding anyone if I claim its sole is flat - and thus I tend to pick up the BU one. But...
I made and use one, yup. (Here 'tis) As Gary says, it's just the job when you want to get in close to a workpiece without having to stoop. Mine isn't that high really, but it's just enough to make...
Threads on the Old Tools List archive suggest it's the logo for Riverside Tool Co. (See here and here)

Given the number of emailed enquiries I get about my hand-cranked grinder set up, I doubt you'd be alone. But whether there's enough interest to make it a viable product, dunno. Might be too many...
I have one with a steel toe - unfortunately the screw's seized up with rust and I'm reluctant to get too heavy-handed in case I manage to break it. But even if it doesn't close up the mouth (and...
Judging by that image you've probably already found it, but this might help.
Cheers, Alf
Glen, for chisels? I'd get one of these. You can make a simple stop set-up (hope BugBear won't mind me swiping that example) to make setting the angles just as easy as with the Veritas. The MkII for...
Hmm, LN sound very convinced, but all I can say is my LNs started to rust in the leather chisel roll. But then they seem to find Camelia Oil effective, and I've found that unsatisfactory as well -...
Combi Plane How-To.

Yep, it's 3/32"
Strikes me as all the wrong tool for the task anyway. Wiley's excellent advice on the scratch stock seems to me to be the way to go - having seen pictures of his incredible inlay...
fwiw I find boring holes for the inner curves is helpful at the shaping stage. (scroll down a bit)
Cheers, Alf
David,
IIRC, if you follow Mr Charlesworth's technique you'll not actually side-step the flattening of the back at all. IIRC, and I haven't checked to refresh my memory, he still requires that the...
At the bottom of this page you'll find a link to a review I did that may help answer a few questions. I believe the TOS forbids me from linking directly because it's on another forum. :rolleyes:

Another method

The Marples is a #2961 jack - machined, built-up body, iron frog. Made between 1961 and '64 but still apparently for sale until 1968. Don't think they caught on much and probably didn't get used much...
Hmm, sort of looks like a home-brewed take on the fibreboard plane to me.
Cheers, Alf
