I'd have to say that I started out firmly "not to mark" and have move steadily over to the "mark" side of the debate. So far I haven't marked any of mine, because I am still trying to figure out how to make the kind of stamp I want. Once I make it, I'm not sure if I will stamp them all at once, or only stamp a plane after it has been used on a project. I think I like the sound of the latter - like I've earned the right to claim it as my own. Hmm.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939577286341372535.post-57188410627406026472010-11-17T14:04:29.488-05:002010-11-17T14:04:29.488-05:00Sweet! Thanks Dan!
All of the planes I got from C...Sweet! Thanks Dan!<br /><br />All of the planes I got from CL were originally owned by a single owner and were purchased at an estate sale by the guy who sold them to me. Unfortunately, he did not mark his planes at all. (Which leads to debate, as a current owner of 2nd hand molding planes; are you for or against marking your molding planes?)<br /><br />The fillister plane, which was purchased separately on ebay belong to one each A.Bohm. <br /><br />Thanks for fixing my nomenclature :) I normally just try to grab "the one I need" and use it...after sharpening the blade. lol<br /><br />I gave the shelves a test drive last weekend, and everything worked perfectly. <br /><br />Thanks for the awesome complements. :D<br /><br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238154386723749318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939577286341372535.post-37247093210897423092010-11-14T04:19:20.023-05:002010-11-14T04:19:20.023-05:00Cool project Dan - you should be proud of it! That...Cool project Dan - you should be proud of it! That's a nice shelf for your planes and I like how you made it fit the spot perfectly. Good call on the biscuits - don't need 'em.<br /><br />And nice collection of planes - and at a great price! Do the planes you bought as a group have the same owner's marks? Just curious - I'm always interested in where the tools have been.<br /><br />Since you asked for corrections I'll give you my two-cents worth, although there is no guarantee that I'm right :)<br /><br />The "two hollows" are actually two rounds and the "thumbnail" is a hollow. Unlike all other moulding planes H&Rs are named for the shape of their sole, and not the profile they cut. Weird.<br /><br />The "two dado planes" are actually rabbet planes - dado planes have two irons, with the front iron set vertically and sharpened into two nickers for working across the grain (which is the difference between a rabbet and a dado), which makes the "four rabbet planes" dado planes and from the looks of them they are nice ones!<br /><br />And for what it's worth - my understanding of the difference between a fillister plane and a rabbet plane is that the fillister has a fence (standing or moving) and a standard side escapement for shavings, while the rabbet has no fence and the standard rabbet style rounded throat opening.<br /><br />Anyway, hope that was helpful. And again - nice job. Keep that up and soon your RV will be a rolling work of art!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939577286341372535.post-70225422176224491882010-10-04T12:07:04.120-04:002010-10-04T12:07:04.120-04:00Thanks, Shannon. I've been having the hardest ...Thanks, Shannon. I've been having the hardest time with this post. From deleted entries to dead batteries...it was the post that never was. <br /><br />I added some better pictures of the completed projects and have made myself promise to start using my camera to snap pictures for the blog, and not my phone. haha<br /><br />Hope the new pics tell a better story. <br /><br />I picked up most of the planes in Durham in June (found them on CL for $250, which comes out to about $14 each). The plow plane was a ebay find for about $20. You can probably see some of them now (and feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I still haven't learned the difference between a rabbit plane and a fillister plane). <br /><br />From left to right I have: unfinished oak 1/4 rabbit with no iron, tongue and groove planes, two hollows and one thumbnail, six beading profiles of various sizes (2 of them are 3/8), two dado planes, the longer fillister which needs a wedge and iron, four rabbit planes, and the plow plane. <br /><br />I used the plow plane during the DVD Shelf project (incorrectly, I might add) and the thumbnail on this shelf. <br /><br />I still need to sharpen all the blades completely and get some replacement blades for a couple of them. <br /><br />Future plans include using the tongue and groove to make some inlay picture frames, possible Christmas idea.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238154386723749318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939577286341372535.post-75052148082976313312010-10-04T10:47:36.281-04:002010-10-04T10:47:36.281-04:00I think you may have forgotten to include the fina...I think you may have forgotten to include the final picture with the planes on the shelf. Don't be such a tease. Let's hear more about the molding planes you have and how you are using them.Shannonhttp://renaissancewoodworker.comnoreply@blogger.com
