There is another option, you could watch for a Record 311 plane which converts from Shoulder, to Bull Nose to chisel plane by removing different Nose sections. Not easy to find, and I suppose that...

".....it always makes me wonder why the majority of us fight change so much. "

This made me laugh when I thought "Does he know that he is in the neanderthal section?" But then again, our group is...

Should have looked at your photo's earlier, the decal on my drill is exactly the same as what you show on your chisels.
Wasn't sure he was a gypsy, but could be, it was a flea market find.

I'm afraid that I am just gong to add more mystery. I have a SANTO hand drill. It has a cast frame like a M-F #2 except that the outer rim is vaguely shaped like an elongated guitar. It is double...

If the #5 is close enough for consideration don't forget about the slightly longer, significantly wider, and harder to obtain #5 1/2". If you can find one it might be what you are looking for.
But...

And as Sam as asked, perhaps it is your blade that is not square?

Glad to see you here as well. Lot's of interesting folks to "meet" and different topics to discuss here also.

Eric,
I've found a lot of different sized Ball Bearings on the 'Bay. The problem for you is knowing what size is in the head if all are missing. Perhaps you should list the model number to see if...

Jerome,
Where did you purchase the asphaultium?

Zahid,
If you don't mind a visit to WoodNet, a poster who goes by the name Hergy just posted his experience/impressions on the new #4. Probably worth a look.

I just used contact cement. It's soaked with baby (mineral) oil, and full of green rouge and it's still holding firm.

Dave,
That was it! I seldom stray far from a few sites here and of course when I returned to look for the info I did not remember that I had wandered off when I saw that info. Thanks.

Appatrently I can't remember correctly, all my searchres came up empty. I'll keep looking when I get home from work. It just drives you nuts!

While leafing through some posts last night/the night before, I noted that one of the Creekers posted some pricing for various sharpening jobs. I assume that they were typical costs "somewhere".
I...

Thanks Bob,
I have the Dave Heckel book, and did see the notes on some of the woods, but not all. My main concern was the Jappaning vs. Paint and you came through beautifully. I suspected that the...

A question for you experienced Plane restorers.
What is used for Early SARGENT PLANES? I believe the wood to be East India Mahogany, and I've heard both, that the planes are Jappaned, and also that...

Very nicely done Jim. As noted others have written their process in the past, but each time someone takes the time to teach their method you learn something new while reinforcing the similarities....

Jim,
I'm not in the least offended, but can completely relate. Over the years I feel that I've had a great relationship with all the layers of folks that are in manufacturing, and I have a great...

Jim,
I would be interested in your Fettle process write-up.

"Not sure about the engineering degree. Many of the engineers in my experience could not reliably distinguish between a hole in the ground and another well known hole."

Well actually I can...

Fit between Chipbreaker and blade may have gaps which allows chips to become logged in gap and subsequently jams those following behind.

(Don't ask me how I know!)

Very slick solution Harry, thanks for sharing.

For this particular jig, please give me some idea of scale (Large diameter dowel vs. small) I can see that several jigs might be needed depending on...

Al, I have a #7 Wards Master that I am pretty sure is a SARGENT plane. Possibly yours is too. Decent enough plane that some prefer over the STANLEY's, and of course some don't like them as well....

You can kick yourself silly if you want, but I know that I would put handles on them and use them. You have a bit of history and you could have made some money and bought a new set of nice chisels,...

"Then there is the Honey Do List."

I don't know about you, but that list grows faster than I can cross them off.

Nice find on the stone by your brother. But why are you taking it to the...
