Matt, Bill,

Fine Tools has a pdf file of Langdon miter boxes. What they call the end brackets and the length gauges seem to be the parts that get lost.

After looking at a lot of listings for "complete" Langdon and Stanley miter boxes, I would compare them to the online old tool catalogs and something would always be missing. I don't know if they...

Michael Ray,

There is a video on Youtube on adjusting wooden planes. Removing the blade is at the end of the short video. "Philly" is a planemaker in the UK.

The sink cutout I got was not flat when I put a straight edge to it. Like David said, you could see daylight under the straight edge. I ended up using glass shelves. Some were flat, others were not....

George,

Here is a link to a discussion on a UK messageboard. The gist of the discussion is that hand plane quality headed south starting in the 1960s, but that Record held out a little better than...

Welcome, Gounthar. Look forward to your progress.

Thanks, David. I'll take a look at the C&W video. If it takes you 5 hours a pair, I can count on at least 10 hours a pair for me. :rolleyes: It's something I'd like to do, but with a only few hours a...

I wish someone would make a more affordable set of cabinet maker (steeper pitch) hollow and round molding planes in the English/American style. Clark and Williams have beautiful planes, but I can't...

Tim,

Thanks. "Forgotten Hand Tools" goes to the top of my list.

Tim,

Thanks for the review. I was wondering whether to buy it. Is it still worth it to get "Forgotten Hand Tools" if you get the new Sawing DVD?

Zach,

There is a DVD called "Hand Saw...

Hi. Long time lurker, first time Neanderthal poster. Thanks to all for all your great posts.

The stanleytoolparts.com page screws worked for me when I needed them recently for a #7 tote. (I'm far...

Andy,
