    An Alternative when the Stanley Planes are Overpriced!

    I can't believe my good fortune! I'd been looking 'round for a decent Stanley #65 Low-angle Block Plane and had almost given up on finding one for a decent price. Then along came one on eBay: "Craftsman low-angle block plane, same as Stanley No. 65." Yep-- in the 30s (and probably 40s and who...

    Tuning Up Old Planes

    In an earlier post, I mentioned that my brother had sent me some old planes that he had found in his barn that belonged to my grandfather. I am in the process of tuning them up as best I can. I have polished the sole of some of them; removed some of the surface rust with WD-40, Scotchbrite pads...

    Refurbishing Old Planes

    My brother called me last week and told me that he had found a box full of tools that belonged to my grandfather who died in 1966. He was a carpenter from the early 20's to the early 60's. In the box was a collection of old planes that he had used. Unfortunately, they were not Stanley's, but old...

    Old Planes?

    Yup, New Planer planes!!!

    I got the new 15" Delta planer pretty much cleaned up (gooey oil vs cosmoline) and put together (I used my I-beam hoist again to lift it onto the stand. ) I still have to do a little fine alignment of the infeed/outfeed roller tables but a test cut seemed to go ok. I still need to mount the...

    Block planes / how to date

    Not that it means a lot in the grand scheme of things, but I am just curious as to how to date a block plane using patent dates, etc. I looked on the Blood & Gore site and googled a bunch of stuff but still couldn't find anything that specifically speaks to this. ...
