August 30, 20169 yr All the sanding dust had to go somewhere, but why on my planes? After I finished a glue up, I gave a few a wipe down.. Yep, that is a clothes dryer back there, and they are sitting on a hamper. I have to share space with the Laundry room. Front to rear: Ohio Tool Co. No. 0-7 ( smooth sole) and a pair of Stanley No. 7c, type 9 jointers. The one in back has "loaner" handles, until I can afford the Rosewood ones. The other jointer in the shop.. Is what Stanley called a Small Jointer.....No.6c, type 10. Lot of weight here, so I had better put them away, until needed. The 0-7 is marked on the toe of the plane, the rest have theirs on the rear porch.. I seem to recall Ohio using mahogany for their handles, Stanley at this time was using Rosewood. Just a look at the shop's cordless jointers...
September 10, 20169 yr Aren't the bigguns fun? I have several to restore, a mix of wooden, cast, and transitional and posts like this one remind me that I need to get back at them! Thanks for sharing.

October 8, 20169 yr Hey love the big ones. Watches ebee a long time before I snagged a #8 with a Hock blade. It cuts so smooth that it only takes 1 or 2 passes to get a great surface. These big planes are for finishing the surface not getting it there.
