I spoke to the guy again. They are a sawmill apparently specializing in posts (4x4 up to 14x14) and he said that they have to either stamp it KD-19 or S-GRN. They cannot kiln dry the larger pieces,...

Another newbie question if you don't mind...

I picked up a #5 Bailey for $3 at a flea market, it looks like a Type 13 and a rusty heap all at once. But that's ok--it disassembled just fine and...

Hey Jim, thanks for the info! It sounds as though I was over tightening them so I'm glad I asked.

I appreciate the offer to help out, but it may be a drive for you...I'm in Jackson, MS.

Hey guys,

First post here, just finished cleaning up a Stanley #7C (type 15) and had a question about the two screws/washers that attach the frog to the plane. How tight do they need to be? In...
