the top pictures are actually screwdrivers rather than push drills; and there are other versions of the Yankee push drill besides the 41s, although Stewie's looks different from those I'm familiar with. But then, there push drills made by lots of folks, including Millers Falls and Goodell Pratt, who used a cruciform shank and a four jaw chuck.
The push drill is an amazing tool; I would not be without one.

Well, since I do have a few Millers Falls sitting around...

here is both of my Millers Falls push drills. #188 and a #100
As for what was confusing one other poster...

Sitting here with a Stanley #39 3/8" dado plane is a Stanley made for Wards #78 rebate plane. Jim K. I think was confusing it with the #79...
I'll just stick with the #45..

At least for now....

Actually Steven there were a couple of typos that have since been corrected.
I am even more confused now since:
... seems to be no longer operative, or maybe the thread has lost its focus on the #79. That tends to happen on public forums.Jim; all good your personal choice of side rebate plane, but this thread is focused on the #79.

That's a nice #79 you have there, Stewie. I didn't know you could buy them in wood, with a stone inside.
PS. My vote goes to a Veritas Side Rebate plane...

I wish I had a stone worthy of box like that.
I appreciate your posts on stones, Stewie. Being a Neander-newbie, you give me a much needed education. Thank you.
Btw, in your picture I see liquid on the stone and box. I'm assuming it's oil. Why? Isn't the stone removed from the box when in use?
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and examples of your work.
Be Blessed

Howdy Peter and welcome to the Creek. Your profile doesn't list a location. Where on this third rock from the sun do you call home?
