Can I use the side of the stone with the writing on it, or do I have to grind that side down or just use the reverse side?
I take that the writing is on one of the wide sides? not the narrow...
Its funny I had never seen one before either,but today there are 2 on the bay with the adjustable mouth.Both stanleys
Pricey is an understatement:eek:$4000 for a bench!I'm sure they are great but geez that bench costs as much or more than all the other tools in my shop combined.I think I'll stick with my spruce 2x...
I stand corrected.I was sure I had seen one in John Walters book,but try as I might I could not prove myself right!Thanks for keeping me honest Mike:D
What no shavings?:eek: Seriously though very nice job, I love the lacewood knob and tote.
Yup its a butt mortise plane.Used for cutting hinge gains.Stanley made it too
A2 can be sharpened just as easily with scary sharp as O1.I go from the grinder to 400 1000 2000 then hone on green compound. No problem getting razor sharp.I have both types of irons from LV
Great job John!!!Love the curly maple and walnut.
There is a redneck way to hook this up.I'm not liable for the results!Do so at your own risk.Gear up a extension cord cord with male on both ends.Make absolutly sure you shut off your main service...
IF it's crowned side to side it sounds like you may have worn a grove in your stone.Do you mean the outsides are further back than the center of the cutting edge?If so make sure your stones are flat...
I got mine from LV for xmas a few years ago not sure on the price,less than $50 Can. I think.If I had only known, should have bought 10!Mines got some greasy fingerprints and folded over corners....
Harry, on my 14" delta the motor pulley is 3" and the saw pulley is 6".Belt length should be easy once he gets his pulleys.That is with a 1725 rpm motor.I don't know if the 2 to 1 ratio holds on...
Check out Derek Cohen's site.He has a tut on exactly what you're looking for,using a router plane for the stopped groove.
Dave even though you said you flatened the stones,are you sure there flat?High in the center and low edges sounds like a hollow stone to me.How are you flattening the stones?Get a piece of plate...
I hope he has made up his mind by now,this is a 4 year old thread!
Thats what I was wondering too.With a 90degree back side 1/4 round wouldn't play very nice with an outside corner!I think corner trim is needed.
I don't know that stanley made these cutters with a hole for the adjustment.Sounds like they might be cutters from before stanley put the adjustment feature on the 45.Someone may have drilled a hole...
I have no idea but that sure looks like a stanley lever cap.Is there a letter cast on the lever cap?Might help to tell if the cap is a stanley.Maybe a proto type or a craftsman built plane?
Tony is right.Goggle Gil Built band saw.It comes as a kit with wheels,guides,etc and you build the frame yourself.Try it out if you can might be a good saw if its cheap enough.18" is a nice size.

Is it belt drive or direct drive?It looks like a direct drive 36-390.These were sold at costco around here I think.A little underpowered according to reviews(not my opinion,I don't have one).Looks...
hmmmmmmmm....on the other hand what do I have to loose?These types of planes aren't hard to find around here.Every antique store is full of woodie's.I think I'll try the lv .It's not like its a...
Thanks for the input guys.I hadn't considered the different expansion rates of the different woods ,only the gluing problem.I have lots of maple so I'm thinking now I will use that instead.Back to...
Hi all. I've got a wooden smoother that I'd like to resole.It's a great old plane with a tapered laminated iron that takes a great edge.After truing up the sole the mouth has gotten fairly big so I...
