Danny,

I know I'm chimimg in on this late, but I just have to.

I went through the lot of posts and didn't see what type of #4 you bought...there are plenty out there that will never be good...

I have to agree with Pam..try it first..scraping is an option but if you're not familiar with the technique I would recommend testing on a junker first..another option to sandpaper is drywall...

Phil,
the 150 Anniversary stuff is very collectable, especially with the certificate..all are limited editions made only one year and some were also presentation pieces..still have the box also?

Bob,
I've got a few dozen hand scrapers but not one like that one...very interesting..it is a paint scraper..but done a lot nicer than the ones I've seen or have..brass I assume? would the blade be...

Dom,

Stanley never made planes by our dating/typing system. there are plenty of "in transition" plane made (between types with features of both)..I've seen T-16's with rosewood knob & tote and brass nuts...

best advice I can give...buy a complete plane with ALL the parts. There's nothing worse than trying to complete a 45 combination by trying to find parts and pieces..and it'll probably cost you...

Rob,

anytime you see a #12 family scraper at a decent price you should pick it up.:D
as some of you know, I have a little thing for scrapers..

Good people, good tools, highly recommended

Bob,
the No.112's have a similar knob to the early No.4 sized Stanleys..low knob..beaded if you got it..no bead is correct also. Don't have an extra right now..but we're coming into the right...

Tom, would you have a different angle picture..especially the profile..does it have a raised "back end: that you can press your palm into? Might be a Sargent..Is it a pressed steel body?

thanks

Charles,
don't know if this is close..my geography of PA is shoddy, but I do know if it's rust you want..this is the place in PA. Tony is a galoot in high standing..and a pleasure to deal with....

I've gone though the Walters book and the Sellens and a bunch of on-line sources. one thing I can't figure out...was Leonard Bailey involved with the Bailey Plane Co? There are so many tidbits that...

Picked this one up over the weekend..cleaned, so far, with just a tooth brush and soapy water..dried ASAP..Don't know what else to do..Bailey Tool Co. Woonsocket RI #5 Defiance jack plane. I've gone...

After spending 3 days and 60 or so walking miles at Brimfield with not a lot to report, let's just say I was disappointed. So I figure; let's just hit the local market this morning for ha ha's. Well,...

To Dave & Roger,
Am I right in thinking there will be a lot of Guild of NH Woodworkers shirts there this weekend? I'll keep my eyes out for them all (and maybe make a fool of myself by acosting...
