I believe the brace was made by stanley for bell system. It looks like a bell system brace I have that is marked Stanley and bell system. Is the adjuster for the ratchet a plastic ring near the chuck?
About a month ago I finished one of the Knight smoother plane kits and have been using it here and there. Here it is. I have used it on hardwood (gnarly cocobolo) and soft and it works great...
I know a guy who does this. He surface grinds the sole flat and the sides 90 degrees square with the sole. He has experience doing this to planes and several satisfied customers. If you would like I...
A market price is set by what people are willing to pay for something. I dont think collectors or dealers are willing to pay $50 for a bell system brace or $30 for a 750 chisel. Collectors definately...
Nope sorry I dont. I dont buy stuff unless its dirt cheap ;). The only time I pay dearly is if it is something I want for my collection and that kind of stuff you shouldnt be using anyways.
That statement makes me laugh. It is actually the users that drive up the prices. Yankee bell system braces used to be a dime a dozen even on ebay until the user community heard their praises. Now...

I know how you feel ;) I felt the same way when I got my Wenzloff half back. Probably one of the smoothest cutting saws I have ever used....
Thats a nice looking MF plane you have there. It should provide years of use. It looks like a type 3. My favorite are the type 2 because of the cocobolo handle and red on the cap (yes the type 1 also...
I use the ruler trick to back bevel plane irons. I dont know the exact angle it creates but I assume its less than 5 deg. This is time saving when you have alot of irons to sharpen also when a blade...

Finishted up this type 18 no.4 today. If I would have shown you the before you wouldnt believe it is the same plane. I think it turned out OK. This will be one of my last ones for a while as the heat...
Too bad Im too young for the good ole days.
Yes this would be the way to go.
I saved a coffin smoother destined for the trash heap. It had the usual gaping mouth, deep scratches on the sole, cobwebs, and dry dirty finish. I patched the mouth (dont know if I did it right so...

Yes I found out they are Henckels. I bought 13 of them, 4 dastra carving chisels, and a dastra carving knife. I think I paid too much...oh well.
Picked up a few carving tools can you guys tell me who made them. I believe they say Germany and have a strange symbol. Attatched is the picture of the symbol.
