Replacement LV Knob

[Alf]

BB, it worries me that you're wandering on the face of the 'net looking for the pretty mushrooms... Something you want to tell us?

At the risk of ribald comment, the discussion on low knobs is an interesting one. I notice a mention of John Brown's "stuffing", which may move me to hunt out the article and look at my #7 with evil intent... Hell's teeth, but this is addictive. :shock:

Cheers, Alf

I see no mention - do tell...

Unless you meant this kind of thing...

Sorry, I was picking up the ball and running a bit there... Nuno Souto's post mentions the infill-style knob, but JB had a #8 (IIRC) that was stuffed front and back. Not unlike your link but still using the depth and lateral adjustments on the Bailey frog. I'll see if I can find it, brave the wrath of GGW and put up a scan of the pic.

Cheers, Alf

not had to change any knobs on my LNs - sorry, couldn't resist :lol:

How's this for speed of service? Apologies for no thumbnails, but I reckon you can cope just this once:

Anytime GWW want to publish a collection of JB's articles I'll be first in the queue. Two #8's? The man's a galoot's galoot. :lol:

Hmm. Both planes suffer from the same problem. They don't have the (much touted) wooden bedding of a "true" infill.

Anyway - we know what the ultimate plane is now. It's a Holtey #98, or at least something similar

Hey, I made one like that as well! Stanley #4 infill (jarrah infill, LN blade and Mathieson chipbreaker).

Jeeze, you'd think function was the only important thing... :roll: :lol:

Err; given recent favourable comments on LV bevel up planes, I thought my "something similar" would be easily understood

that has got to be the ugliest plane I've ever seen :shock:

Tony, if that's the ugliest plane you've ever seen, you can't have seen may planes... :lol:
