Giuliano do you have a relative who's name is Tiziana working in London?

No, I haven't.

I do own 3,4,51/2,6,7x2,8 a scrub and toothed...

...before the Cliffie arrives

Tell us more :!: Going by the list above, you're only missing a 4½ and a 5. But then again you've got two No.7s (inc. a QS). Or is this a No.8 Cliffie cap-iron as a back-up?

Cheers, Vann.

As Dave slides onto the couch and lies back and Vann picks up the clipboard, settles back into the Highback windsor chair........

I think I know what you are thinking......2 No7's, tad extravagant eh?
I fettled the record 7 and nearly killed myself on the engineers plate flattening the sole and would have soled her (sorry) but imagining only getting £30 quid for 30 hours fettling, I thought I'd keep her in the QS box on top of the cupboard, where the wife cant reach :wink:


I was worried you would think I was showing off. .......Well......... if you force me...... I should come clean and admit to a very sentimental record 4 1/2 my first (love) plane, awarded when I finished my City and Guilds 585.1 Carpentry and Joinery course......., polished the sole 10 years ago with wet n dry now I'm no longer on-site ................Then on the C+G 764.1 cabinet making course, saw the purchase of most of a low knob Stanley 5 1/2 and a few months later 60 1/2 for my birthday........Since then the wife insists its gotten out of hand........not really I tell her,........ I can control it......I can stop......honest....Sniff Sniff

Her Christmas present to me last year was harlequin half set (evens) rounds and hollows......How could I resist !


Oh........... and this years summer holiday saw me having to buy a the QS LA62, (without a hotdog Matthew) and jamming it into the suitcase with 23kgs of tools....leaving a little room for the toothbrush.


The No 8 Cilffe blade was on eBay.......for £31 including P+P few days ago :shock: ...Honest....wont buy anything else......the Marples draw knife dosn't really count....its not really a plane is it ?

As Dave sits up and slides off the couch....... "Well....Vann, thanks for the councilling I feel a lot better to get that off my shoulders, been eating away at me for quite a few years now"

I think we should start a weekly session , I think there are a lot of people here need to unload.

AH! That was you was it.... #-o

I think you might have got it cheaper if some silly person hadn't been bidding against you!

Hang on a minute - there's no No.4½ in that list above. If you want therapy to work you've got to fully relax and open up to your therapist. So let's start again: you've got a 3, a 4, a 4½, a 5½ (or most thereof), a 6; two 7s, an 8, a LA62 and a 60½ (not counting woodies). Is there anything else you'd like to tell me (us) :lol:

The No 8 Cilffe blade was on eBay....

I picked up a Record No.8 ($67 NZD ~ £34UKP)...

...but i wanted an SS model. I bought a Clifton cap-iron from Dieter-Schmid in Germany (€28.74 euros VAT free for NZ) as there was no stock left in UK. Then I bought a Cliffee iron from Traditional Woodworker in the States (79.95 USD) - again because there was no stock left in the UK. Then the dilemma, to file the mouth, or not to file the mouth? That beaten up old Record is hardly a valuable plane, but I just couldn't bear to 'damage' it. So I had the iron surface ground (by a friend) down from ~3.3mm to ~2.85mm. It now slides through the mouth with just the slightest gap (the worlds largest smoother? :roll: - I might have to ask him to take a whisker more off).

Then I bought another Record No.8, a No.8ss this time (well for $36.50 NZD ~£19 UKP, what's a man supposed to do?). It was missing a bit...

The 'deflector' is there but, perversely, the main part of the 2-piece cap-iron is missing.

I haven't finished fettling either of them yet . And you thought you needed therapy :wink:

Unload emotions? Or, as my wife would say, here's the courier van again, better help unload another couple of rusty tools... (hammer) :mrgreen:

Cheers, Vann.

And the defendant asked for 20 more planes to be taken into consideration!!! :mrgreen:

Hey Vann...that is weird...the top half being missing.

There was a top half on FleaBay a few weeks back...they often come up because someone drops the other bit on their toe...but never seen...nor would I understand...a missing top bit. Strange!! #-o
