Show off the Jointers, anyone interested?

I've been meaning to document my tools for insurance proof of ownership, this thread got me off my butt. Here are my #7 sized planes:



From left to right: Another shop made beech stock with Hock O1 iron, A Record #7 with OEM iron, this #7 and the Record #4 were the first "good" planes I acquired back in the 70's, A type 11 Stanley 7C with a Woodriver iron.

My #8 sized jointer planes:



From left to right: LN #8 with OEM A2 iron, if I used it more it would have a Vertias O1 iron installed. a type 9 Stanley with Hock O1 iron, and best of all a ECE Woody with OEM iron that was picked up from Garrett Wade at about the same time as the Record planes.

Bedrock 607 roundside with Hock A2/chipbreaker. I just placed an order for a Lie-nielsen #8 this morning. Been saving gift cards for about a year and had to come out of pocket for it but Im pretty excited to see her!

Here are a pair of #6s. The one on the left is a type 4, the next is a type 9. A Sargent Transitional Jointer is next. The Stanley #7 is a type 7. Finally there is a pair of 8s. The one on the left is a type 6a. This is one of the types that fell through the cracks. The only foundry marks may be a little pimple or dot. It has the left hand threads on the depth adjusters like all types have after the type 6. The one on the right is an 8c. I call it my most expensive $5 plane. $5 was the original cost, but it came with a broken frog and missing a few parts. It is kind of on the back burner of things to do. You can see by the dust shadow on the back that it has been collecting dust while resting in a corner.

The #7 is the one featured in my post, Junker to Jointer:

Jim,

I may have a spare tote for the 8c.

Here's my Sargent 422C (the other plane is a Craftsman 559B). The dark grey color of the castings are because I used Phosphate paint prep to remove the rust. I polished the bottoms of the soles although the picture doesn't show that very well. Also, the planer actually takes a full shaving that's just a shaving from the edge of the board sitting in the mouth.

Rodger, the size of my Purple Heart jointer is "only" 26.5" long. I am still working on a top grip, that will hold my entire hand, visible in the picture. The wedge isn't exactly right yet either. I am still trying to decide which iron to use in it. I have two HNT Gordon irons but they are a little short for the jointer so I may use one of the Steve Knight blades which are a little longer. Maybe Tom can see why I bought only two of the 3 Steve Knight planes he had, although mine works I am still working on it. I'm not sure why Tom isn't posting a picture of the very nice Steve Knight Jointer? I posted the other two Tom.

That's a 36" long Jarrah jointer (with 3" wide blade) alongside a Stanley #7 (type 11).


A couple of Veritas jointers - custom and BU ...

Here's my LN no.7. I love it. I had a type 11 Stanley before. It was a great plane, but the LN is definitely worth it's price tag.

That's beautiful!

Here's my beech locomotive:

In use while building my workbench (clearly, not a pure neander shop :-)

My jointer. The only one I have currently in finished,and long used condition. Have another I also made that just needs an iron. But,I haven't too much need for jointers. I used to take this one to the Book binder's Shop,and re flatten his plough plane outfit sometimes. The top of it would get concave from sliding the plough over it while trimming the edges of books.

This plane is longer than it looks due to the massive body with a 3" iron. Made from an old,turned from age brown maple bed post that I found in an attic in Wmsbg.,never finished. The extra dark brown color though, is experimental violin varnish I was making at that time. Cooked in the presence of iron to take on a brown color that can never fade. An unfinished Kentucky rifle is seen sticking out behind it.

I think it was a perspective thing, since the purpleheart is in the front of the other planes. It looked more like Dereks . You even posted the length, I missed that.
