Nice paring chisels. Is that a #10?

By the time you’ve set up a table saw to do it you’d have finished the job with a plane. You’d also get a proper finish straight off the blade.

Sadly I have a 4 1/2. Got too much of anything else?

roughly how much can one expect to pay for a stamp?

Well you can’t just post something and then not explain it! 😉

Both please! 😎

Another attempt at a sash mother plane. Just have to make the iron now and tune up. Hopefully will work better than the last one.

Please explain?

I have, I’ve tried all of the YouTube tweaks for it that I think might be practical. I am finding that if I feed it carefully and creep up on the final dimension, the snipe is reducing, measuring at 0.003” - still visible but not much. Then a quick pass with a sharp and very finely set hand...

Didn’t you buy it?

Get a piece of o1 and make a new one. They are consumable. The main tricky bit is tapering the iron. Lie Nielsen sell pre-tapered irons.

Well it isnt hard but it takes practice and elbow grease. My view is if you can’t make wood flat and square by hand then your chances of successfully executing fancy joints are zero. What I really need is an old fashioned planer thicknesser, AKA a boy. However none of my sons seem to be...

Here’s mine.

I think there was quite a lot of consolidation of the plane making shops with Moseley buying up Mutter etc. I have an early Mutter pre-Moseley. It’s lovely and really old. I’m trying to use it as my “standard“ plane for copying the style, round wedge finial, 45 deg chamfers rather than bevels...

Hi I have traditionally done all of my stock preparation by hand. When I was making my casement window recently, this took a very significant proportion of the time for the project. Probably 50%. It’s a miserable job, but I found that for me, it’s been the only way to guarantee flat and square...

I managed to 3d print some ends for sash templates today, similar to some that I had already but a subtly different size to match my sash ovolo planes. Can I cast them in brass? Well I’m going to try 😎

I also have a fine Tyzack tenon saw, lovely thing, my go to saw for cutting plane beds. You have to sharpen it yourself, it’s part of the initiation. Plus a skill worth learning. You won’t need to set it, as Jacob says, just alternate the filing. Most saw sticking problems can be solved by...

A little chamfering and oil and mine looks more respectable. Obviously these are usually used for putting decorative profiles on the edges of things. I have a couple more requirements though, given it’s purpose is to true up moulding plane profiles. 1) the cutter needs to be registered square...

I have a vintage Tyzack Zyto table saw that cost me about £130 I think. It’s probably 80 yrs old, cast iron everything. Built like they used to make such tools. It will last forever if looked after. Professional accuracy. Amazing quality. I had an evolution mitre saw. Cheap but not at all...

Who needs router bits or moulding planes
