Nice score, but for some reason, this looks familiar.
Thanks, had internet issues until today and no way to post them.
OK, I am slow; I just realized that the saw was "cut down", as you indeed stated. I had considered cutting one down, but I was never sure how to do it and did not know if that would affect the temper.
Andrew
I don't know how it was cut, but it works real well and theirs know way to know about the temper.
Rick
I just cut one saw down a little while back. Took about 4" off a saw. I ground a "line" across the plate where I want it to be "cut" . Then hold the smaller part in the vise right at the line. Then snap the piece off. A bit of CAREFUL work with the grinder again, to refine the cut end. Used plenty of water to dunk the area in.
Wear gloves when you go to snap the line.....teeth tend to be sharp....
Thanks Steven, there you go Andrew expert advice form the guy in the basement!
Steve, he can do anything.....
Score a line then snap it. Sound advice.

Way too fragile for me,,sold mine....
Thanks Steven, was waiting for a rainy day to clean them up, but don't expect any rain till November.
Did you use the one you had?
Rick
They'd work. There is a very fragile tab to adjust the iron with.......they will break IF you try to adjust without loosening the cap iron bolt.
I think one of my neighbors has one of those. Is the Shelton a single iron plane?
The blade on my neighbor's plane didn't seem to hold an edge and it was rather chattery.
