I got this last night

[momo]

You dirty minded old beggars....

Nope I got a Record No 076 bullnose plane of fleabay, hah! wife is now eating kit-e-kat for the week and the kids are on gruel.. Priorities right lads :lol: . So who is going to tell me I got robbed for the £21.

always someone who will.

 

[Smudger]

That's a good price, iirc.
The 077, 077A are nice planes as well. They fall easily to the hand. Now you need to make a sliding-top storage box!

 

[momo]

Funnily enough smudger I did just that only thing is I put my record smoothing and block plane in it to test it and they kinda stayed in there, ah well always tomorrow.

 

[Smudger]

But did you bother with stopped rebates?

I must admit that on the box for my 043 I shirked...

 

[momo]

sides are straight through the end has stopped rebate at each end where the sides butt up to it.


might try a hidden dovetail box next with inlaid ebony marquetry and a m.o.p lid and velvet lining next time...........

 

[momo]

Well I got bored running around in a flash car last night so today I paid penance and cleaned them saws up above, as well as the two planes I got given, did the best I could so thats all I could do.

 

[Chris Knight]

You got the stains off pretty well..

 

[Smudger]

Weren't the stains on the shoulder plane?

 

[momo]

You've lost me there smudger, which shoulder plane ?.

Only things I had with severe rust on where the 3 saws, two planes ( as bad as the saws) 2 spokeshaves a brace and a record bench vice, they had all been left out in one of them big plastic trays for a number of years till I spotted them in a friends garden and liberated them. Mind you I think I got the bad end of the deal because I spent all day cleaning that lot and made my lungs worse again with all the rust flying around. Been sick quite badly since, its bad enough I cant work over the chest let alone this one coming to haunt me.

 

[Smudger]

The Monika Lewinsky 'DNA traces' were on her shoulder...

You can imagine the scene, I guess!

 

[tnimble]

They cleaned up quite nice!

And wear a dust mask when working with fine metal dust. It's quite nasty stuff and some can quite react quite badly. Also a good thing to clean your hands regularly. I did a lot of filing on O1 steel to create a set of beading blades. Didn't wear any and I'm still sick from it. Still got to do a 30 piece reeding set :shock: resperator it is.

 

[momo]

Smudger!!!!!!!!!! :shock: , its the washing up liquid for you now.

 

[Benchwayze]

Smudger!!!!!!!!!! :shock: , its the washing up liquid for you now.

I must be lucky... My Missus keeps me supplied with 'economy sized' tins of 'Swarfega' and some creamy stuff similar to 'Rozalex', but smells a bit nicer! I wonder what she is trying to tell me?

If you live in or near Brum, the stall is somewhere in the new open market.
