Hello gregarious galoots! - I have only been lurking for a short while and it already feels like home with everyone joking, bickering, sharing secrets, .etc.. (I have 4 sisters, 1 brother) My Name is Aaron Ionta (eye-on-ta). I live with my wife Jennifer, and our cat Huckleberry in Minneapolis, MN otherwise called the great Tool Tundra (stole that one from Bruce Vansloun ?Sp.?) I work for a systems integration company, and I do Software Telephone support by day. I have been interested in woodworking and tools since I was a child especially planes. I got interested in visiting the porch by listening in at theoak and decided that if I was ever going to get my 3 planes Scary Sharp(TM) that I had better get directions to the porch. Well I guess I'm on the bottom step not trying to slip on my own drool I'm glad to be here in the company of y'all (lived in Austin, TX 10 years) p.s. Thanks for all of the info on Electrolysis Aaron \|// (O=O) =================oOO(_)OOo=================== OK! here are the goods 1 Baily #4 that I need to date yet 1 Record Technical Plane - it is approx the size of a number 5 and has extra webbing and higher sides (supposed to be perpedicular), and the sides each have 1 threaded hole in them for handles (I was told) 1 new #5 Stanley ( a gift) that the goods! -- \\\\\\\\\\\ ////////////////////// @ ////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\ Aaron R.

This is a plane originally intended for school use. It is 13" long, with a reinforced sole and an extended wing with its crest parallel to the sole that seems to look a bit like those bedrock thingies that some people go on about. 8-). The handle screws into a tapped hole going into the frog support bosses. I don't think it was a commercial success. But has Aaron's got a handle? Record's Planecraft book shows one. It's shape is misleading since one would get the idea that for use on a shooting board, one just grabbed the entire handle and tried to use it that way. I think this must have been the original intention of the genius (sarky, 8-)) who thought this up, but wiser counsel might have eventually gained because in the sixth impression, 1954, page 39, they show it used by a schoolboy with the thumb hooked round the base of the handle, the index finger on the wing and the remaining fingers covering the blade. This makes sense, since to use a plane on a shooting board some nifty wrist action is needed to obtain the necessary scooping action that I doubt could be effectively applied from a grip on a small diameter round handle, rather like a file handle. Incidentally, in this position it is rather easy to jam the top of the thumb rather vigorously against the stop. How do I know? Well I don't have a handle but managed to fit a salvaged front knob instead (the thread is a wierd specification). That's how I found out! As a matter of interest, has anybody got an earlier version of Planecraft (first published 1934) with perhaps a different illustration? It would be interesting to know why the hand was thus shaped. -- Jeff Gorman - West Yorkshire jeff@m... |
