ive 3 more ! in the other 3 x 5's ! they utilise the same blade :-) The 4 has plastic handle and know so dont think as old as the other 3

Photoshopped .. but like this but blade honed to 30'

You lot are going to hate me ! So then, busying yesterday with the small rebate plane and there is an old geezer always speaks when walking his dog comes over as he sees me messing about and we get chatting about the Old tools and stuff and he is telling me how it was all done in the old days...

I need to flip the blade over

So then, back to the small Plane .... I need to re profile the bevel and have it bevel down as thats the way it is intended to be ? and close the gap between the blade and the front of the opening ?

Omg ! Is that what happens? Have a few beers, pizza ,more beer... go on ebay and buy crap at inflated prices? That's why my garage is full then !

Could the screw be replaced with a bolt with washer underneath then it could be done with a small spanner?

So still not sure!

So then, up at 5.40 it's been on my mind all night! Out to the garage took it to bits again, re sharpened the blade to be double sure, reassembled bevel up but really not sure it should be as then it leaves a massive throat in front of the blade? But..... it seems to work better!

In all fairness I think it was only a tenner!

Well going to give it a try bevel up in the morning ! The Back of the bevel as the blade is in now is deffo not below the cutting edge, if does cut but is poor!

Also reading the Paul Sellers blog .. I've the blade in upside down !

So not the best small plane to "hone" any learning skills with?

Thanks for the input Phil, regardless of the job I need it for it would be nice to get it to work

Hi all, have had an interesting but frustrating day trying to re comission a small old plane I purchased of tinterwebby. Stripped it cleaned it as best I could and then set about trying to flatten the sole and sharpen the blade, 1st time ive had a go at this, not sure if it's the style / type...

Not sure if anyone has had a look at the video the original builder put up the web, but he used 100x50 pse so all of the sketch up drawings were easy to manage and mark up timbers for him ! Only thing avail to me locally was 95x47 pse so had to re jig all of his sketch up drawing measurements...

great reading, cant wait for the next installment !

Nothing too exciting here .. almost finished the bench

Hi all, Still fairly new to all this wood malarky but have been busy constructing a bench to work on and that takes my table saw, also will eventually accommodate my built in router plate when it arrives! Totally stole the idea off the web: As it seemed to do what I needed! I've altered it...
