Following a recent conversation I'd be interested to know of anyone who has used "coachmakers rebate" planes for their intended purpose. Note how the side of the"open" mouth has a plate screwed across it. My theory is a groove is first ploughed in the work and then the rest of the waste removed...

A very nice item indeed :cool: Here's the May 1909 Edward Preston Birmingham offerings. Note one is mortised through the head. Does it have any measurements on it? Cheers Andy

Thank you, and as AndyT has mentioned the others, in the uk, that we know of are in The Hawley Collection and I must make an effort to learn how many. There are some, and if the camera work is to be believed, many, in the Colonial Williamsburg...

Yes, you're welcome to them. Cheers Andy STILL AVAILABLE 03/01/21

Thanks, not my finest hour but at least their out in public again for the world to see. I can now see how much more there is to be gained from looking deeper and actually making some tooling/examples to demonstrate them. I think it's the first time I've ever had them all lined up and whilst...

And quite likely all available from stock.... Cheers Andy

Hark, can you hear that ? Just me blowing me own trumpet. Yep, this week, it's my turn with the W. KENDALL PLANEMAKERS planes. You'll need the link for Zoom if you don't do Instagram and follow @bench.talk.101 Cheers Andy

Great to see another tool specific reference publication. Any link available please My searches show nothing.... Cheers Andy

Do you know about the DM-V? I have had the pleasure of using one and can say it's a great labour saving machine. Cheers Andy https://www.wadkin.com/wadkin-dm-v-mortiser

Bet your glad Bruntingthorpe didn't end up taking her in? I came to the party late but was very chuffed to be at Shuttleworth, for sadly, the last public display. Cheers Andy

Lot of reasons why it wouldn't work but if feasible, how about kerfing (not through edges) the back and gluing in slips to force it back to flat. Laminate after. Cheers Andy

Lovely Ted, so is this your lightbulb moment? Well done, looks like you have grasped the art of 3 pictures on the same post👏 Cheers Andy

That was lucky, I had to see the doctor about mine...... Cheers Andy

Der, Der Der Der Der Der Der Der Der Der Der EXACTMAN......

You know how to stop me getting on with what I'm supposed to doing. I've got a show to prepare for..... Good old Fred, the man, the legend:cool::cool::cool: Cheers Andy

Jeremy at Appleby is a good supplier https://www.applebywoodturnings.co.uk/260-x-21-x-3mm-slotted-hss-resharpenable-planer-blades-to-suit-elu-ept1151-ept1161-machines.html Cheers Andy

Yes, as @dannyr correctly assumes it's the locking wing nut for the swivel function. The odd looking one clockwise to it is seldom seen, it's a cobblers heel clamp. The bottom one goes back a long way for me being the first I bought. Can you see the spikes on the clamp ? Very effective, but not...

Crikey, unearthing the past now.... Just stumbled on this box. Cheers Andy
