Rob Lee's new plough plane

[Lord Nibbo]

Any ideas? a stanley 55 ](*,) perhaps or record 43 :lol:

Wonder how much it'll be?

 

[MikeW]

Think more along the lines of Record...the later period version...at least it looks like it to my eyes.

I bet Alf knows, she aint about, whats the betting she's beta testing it :lol:

Come on Rob we demand to know more, now none of that rubbish about got to run. I want to get my order in before the yanks* fill the line up 8-[

PS is it gonna be black like your other hand planes? or shocking pink? :lol:

* no reference to you Mike :lol: and whats that bit about your saws on page three of the new catalogue? \/

 

[MikeW]

Oh, Alf knows.

All I got are pretty pictures of the thing. :wink:

Take care, Mike

hmm remarkably similar :? I hope it don't end up with a crappy plastic handle.

But what do you make of this

Approximate Part Volume 3.51 cu inches
Approximate Part Weight 4.95 lb

Bloody things enormous

[MikeW]

A bit of a difference between 050C, but not a whole lot...but lots different than the Stanleyesque plows...

As for the handle...there's gotta be a bit of mystery until the Man of Mystery speaks...

Take care, Mike

Steel's a little over 4oz/cu in - that four's a zero.

Veritas doesn't do the *burgundy* color... that's "Utilitas", or UTW that does those....

Take care, Mike

I guess it's now confirmed that Rob Lee is a Trekky?

It's not like I don't have a plow or two. But I'll still spring for one of these. I like many things that have that 1950s look to them...this included.

Take care, Mike
who's a bit jealous about the September get together...

Neat!
It seems that all those comments about the LV handles are having a measurable effect...they definitely look more curvy to me (at least the part that fits into the palm).
I can't wait to try it out either!

Many thanks Mike for posting the pics, but you've evaded answering about page three :lol: :wink: I wonder if those casting numbers 747 are still on the machined parts? if so "Jumbo" will be my name for it :lol: Now where did I put my cheque book? :lol:

edit.... I just had another look, they machined the numbers off

I guess "screw adjust" on the fence and depth stop was too expensive.

Shame, but understandable.

I'm a little more surprised at the absence of nickers. This really is a functional replacement for the Record #044, no more, no less.
