Ref:#51 Stanley
What is the "frog"?

In simple terms the bit the blade is clamped on to in the plane, it supports the blade.

Also are the blades on the plane the same as other planes, as mine is quite short?

The blade is skewed in this plane, so the cutting edge is no square across the blade, there may be other planes with the same width blade and skew angle, I don't know.

I am also looking for the clamp, to hold the work down on the #52 stanley? I was wondering if anyone has a decent picture of the clamp, so that I can get one made, are they cast or milled?

Having never seen a #51/#52 set in the metal I have no idea. As has already been said that is one mighty fine gloat, £50, boy do you suck. :roll:

That is 100% pornographic, no wonder you pasted the link up as a url and not as an img :lol: It's people like you that make the slope downright dangerous to step on :wink: what was once a little hill is now bigger than Mount Everest. :wink: :lol:

PS If I keep plugging how good your products are do I get a freebee? :lol: :wink:

Hmmm...interesting comment. Bootiful tho' the assemblage of planery is, are they just tooo pretty to be used? Do they reside in a custom made cabinet for their entire life or do you risk de-valuing them by lightly planing a lump of real wood and possibly getting a few scratches on the sole. Whislt the planes in Phills workshop are still mundanely droolworthy compared to that little lot, all of them have the merit of actually having been seriously used, especially mine :lol: - Rob

Hmm....difficult to tell. All I can see is black or grey. Another by Konrad?

I do think the slightly hidden one is also by Konrad...the lever cap screw is of the same style.

Nice assemblage, Rob.

Here's another family, albeit by the same maker :lol:

Take care, Mike

Been down to Phillysville this afternoon and had a very enjoyable time playing with all the kit....wonder how many of you wouldn't mind Father Christmas filling up your stocking with one or twelve of these :lol: ...

Well, one of these will be arriving soon. I consider it a wonderful present by a wonderful person...made by C&W

Take care, Mike

Mum tell him

That nice man is teasing again :roll: :wink:
:tongue9:
( I must not look, I must not look. Aww dam I have too :tool: )

 

[DaveL]

ALf,

Rob has pointed at you, do you have any idea what is lurking at the back of that shot?

Having been and looked at the Bridge City Tool Works VP-60 video, I did decided not to look for the price, I am sure that I would get caught for the duty and it would be a shame for customs and excise to end up with such a nice looking tool if I couldn't pay it. :roll:

 

[engineer one]

i don't know mike, first you produce the greatest marketing scoop of the decade by asking us to step into the unknowns of what people deliver to your front door.
THEN :twisted: :roll:

the photo :lol: :? it's no wonder the bears in your area are thin and chasing you taking their pizzas. man have you no respect :lol: :lol: ?

first you make saws with soul, then you make them drool worthy,
and then you send us photos in the week before xmas. it's not enough that philly has the "planest collection" in the world :roll: :lol:

but those saw handles =D> ccasion5:

or two, or?????????????

Drat the time differences... it is not possible to play in the sandbox at the same time. Actually a little harder at present as Perth has 1 hour daylight saving time.

That is an amazing collection of functional art work you have there Rob. Which one is the model for the next incarnation of Veritas? Do we get to vote on this?

Regards from Perth

Look it's an infill - I don't do infills. Although for the record I could have named the makers of all the others - if you hadn't beaten me to it. :roll: And I didn't miss the BUS and the #4 or #4 1/2 on the floor in the background. Not so sure about what appears to be a hand or breast drill behind them... :-k Incidentally I'd be grateful if someone could tell me what that front knob on the Bridge City is reminding me off? :?

Mike, thought you'd have had your fill of beech just recently :wink:

Cheers, Alf

How on earth can I afford them on a pension?

Please stop trying to drag us all down the slope :wink: :wink:

 

[bugbear]

Who may learn to dread the Fed Ex man if he repeats today's trick of claiming no-one was in, despite three people being on the premises all day. :evil:

Ah - like the meter readers and British Gas engineers.

Al
Front knob of the Bridge City?? Reminds me of one of those "globe bars", you know, the type you open up to reveal your bottles of spirits.
Mind you-it is the time of year I turn to drink.... ccasion5:
