Popular Post p_toad Posted February 7, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted February 7, 2018 Grand Prize We are proud to offer a Woodriver No. 63 Low Angle Jack Plane to this months "What's It" winner. This months "What's It" is sponsored by our supporter Woodcraft Supply. Originally advertised as a plane for heavy stock removal across the grain, the No. 62 has found a home as a smoother and is quite popular among collectors. The WoodRiver® No. 62 is faithful to the original design, but is almost a full pound heavier at approximately 4.6 lbs. It features a body cast from ductile iron, with a bed angle of 12°, a bubinga tote and front knob, and a high-carbon steel blade with a 25° bevel. The plane measures a little less than 14" in length x 2-7/16" in width and has a 2"-wide blade. (Value $205.00) "What's It" Basic Rules Reminder (For a full run down on this project and rules please go to: "The Patriot Woodworker and MWTCA "What's It" project") Only Patriot Woodworker Members are eligible to participate and receive the award.

steamshovel Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 They are used in molding to create certain features. You only show two but a complete set is a whole herd. A lot of them are hand made for doing a particular mark or design. Preston Grandpadave52, Cal and HARO50 3 Quote

That's pretty compelling Bill, now the next step in verification? Perhaps contact the pros via email with this topic link in it, and ask them for their opinion? We always get a ton of great ideas with these MWTCA projects, but you guys never go the next step, verification! Cal and HARO50 2 Quote

HandyDan Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Those tools were used for glass removal and installation back when windows were held in with rubber gaskets. I used similar tools myself replacing windows in heavy equipment but back then we didn't take many pictures. The tools have taken on a high polish from being dragged through the rubber seal. They came along with stronger thinner tools and these were obsolete. Eventually a lock bead gasket came out which made more room and the glass was easier to get in place and this tool came out to insert the bead. Dish soap was used as a lubricant.

HARO50 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 Got one of these in a Craftsman screwdriver set back in the 70's. They called it a cotter pin tool. Possibly one of the first "Multi-Purpose" tools? John Grandpadave52 1 Quote

Grandpadave52 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 Still drives me nuts folks want help to identify something but unwilling to give more than one picture. You would think he might have separated the two, placed them side by side, used some type of scale to indicate dimensions... Seems they want to know as long as they don't have to put forth any effort and that 1/1,000,000,000 shot somebody is still using a set of these. Bottom tool has "US????" on handle...maybe nothing more than USA...who knows what markings if any upper tool may have. Guess we'll never know... End of... HandyDan, HARO50, Cal and 1 other 4 Quote
