I sharpen my machete with a mill bastard file. I have hit too many rocks in the ground and fence post to have a samurai garden tool.

The curves were referring to the bulky and blocky comments in the previous posts. The addition of of a few curves would create a more organic shape. I feel the body and lever caps is on par with the...

I say that is is fine job. The looks remind me of the Record Hybrid plane. If it cuts well, then success is a achieved. What is few extra curves here and there ? I wish my first one would turn...

Looks like a Atkins" Mechanic series. They were about that size and great little saws. Same dark handle. Does it have silver screws and nuts ?

He just loves the attention. "Oh!! Oh!!, Look what I got !!!" I am sure he is just loving this post, and how long it has gone. I apologize to everyone, because I got him started down the tool...

That is not nice at all. But, You could graft onto it and it would be hard to notice the repair.

I heard that a knob for a 98 or 99 will work for Number 1. Never had a number 1, so I really wouldn't know for sure.

Contact your local High School. Let them distribute the tools to the graduating students or use for their program. When i get a chance I buy socket chisels cheap , so that the students have...

Yeah, I say you did good. You might get a little more than $20 for that Leonard Bailey on a good day. "You suck" For Sure

Very open attempt at a gloat. Two planes that do the same amount of work. None !

I would put it on the Bay at twice the Buy now price you would take. Get everyone's attention. Then slowly drop the price to the point you want for it. It is kinda like fishing. Bait it out...

That is going to be a nice looking bench. Red Elm is gorgeous wood. Is it difficult to work?

Tim

Yeah, That looks like a Revonoc. Put aside and wait for different handles, or use as it is.

Tim

I think Revonocs were mainly old Stanley Patents, and some say made by Stanley. Most I have seen where decent planes. I think along the lines of Lakesides and the others. You probably just have...

Is it a Revonoc Plane Iron ? Just throwing that out there ? I can't really see it too well. They have lot on the web about Revonoc planes. HSB / Conover hardware stores brand name. Is the iron...

That is some beautiful furniture. The design elements and scale are wonderful.

Tim

I have had the same problem. You need to put on a metal ring to contain the wood and compress it. You can use about anything. Copper pipe, odd steel tubing or even wire. I like the shape., I use...

The 4th picture looks like a No. 12. The plate along the bottom of the handle is curious. Also, the Disston Medallion might be a replacement for lost medallion. The carving on the grip area is not...

Sit down Jim, There is a lot of rustoholic out there. I am just glad you recognize the problem. There is no cure. No matter how many planes you have , and how many times you tell yourself " I will...

Price is about retail for that plane. If you get them down a little probably a good deal. You just don't see as many Sargent's as you do Stanley's. I would prefer to have one of those over a...

Looks like a no. 36 rabbit/dado plane. I haven't seen very many. Probably on the rare side of planes. Sorta like a Stanley 39. I like the looks of those planes with the acanthus type side design....

David, I also have "Jayhawker " and a "Oriole" ecthed saw with the same style handle. I have never tried sharpening any of these saws. I just keep them as a novelty.

I have the same saw. I believe they are a Bishop saws. If I remember right it was a 103 saw. They also came under the "Oriole" Brand saw. They were purchased in the Disston/national saw company. I...

If you found the Disston 9 and backsaw at the same time, they be the greater find. The saw look like they could be real treasures.

Sounds like a good use of a star bits. I have been looking for a good use for old ones. A large screwdriver will work for a bunisher.
