Nice group. It was good that you could liberate them. Looks like cleanup time now.

Post: RE: How do you protect wooden plane bodies?
I would apply a light coat of Johnsons paste wax to the sides and top, being careful to avoid the wedge or anything it touches. Then I would put them on a shelf to self-patinate. Since wood moves, you...

Post: RE: transplanting trees - when?
Trees seem to move best when leafless. I don't like the term "dormant" because in my experience trees grow roots when they are not growing leaves. If you move them early enough in the fall, then they ...

Post: RE: Lee Valley spokeshave
Good to hear. I love my #65 chamfer shave but have to admit that the #72 plane is easier to use. Most metal spokeshaves are just poorly adjustable handplanes with weird handles. But whenever I need...

Life changes can be challenging. I grew up using my dad's workshop and have had a few of my own. Sometimes I worked on a porch or in a closet. Heck, I repaired and refinished a piece of furniture whil...

The main handle receives a lot of stress. Check the wood first as it may be wonky. If so, glue the original hole with a good hardwood so you can start all over. I think this is a great job for an old ...

No, no. You do not reach collector status until you CANNOT count them because there are too many and they are stashed all over the place.

Nice plane and I think it sold at an excellent price. Bench plane prices are strong on the bay right now.

Congrats. Here is my tip. The design of the plane means it has an incomplete no sole and that makes it tricky. The cutter sits on an edge where the bottom of the guide is the side of the sole. The ...

If I were doing it, I would use H&R planes to make about a foot of trim and then cut it to fit. Another way is to glue a block of wood into place and just carve it by hand. But there is a temporary wa...
