May 21, 20206 yr Author Popular Post Yeah, right....that is what they all say... Out of the clamps, sanded smooth and a bit more square Inside of the lid was too snug...we have ways... Wide chisel to pare the fat parts down until the inner box will slide inside... Piston fit? Seemed almost a shame to close the "vent" Then a coat or two of Witch's Brew.. Then wait for it to dry, while I find a Shelton Tool Co. label to stick on an end... Label has been printed..for Shelton No. 18 All Steel Low angle Block plane....need to trim it to fit, and attach to the lid... Next? Plane #3? MIGHT be a Stanley No. 18? May need a longer box...to cover the big...back end Stay tuned.... Edited May 21, 20206 yr by steven newman
May 23, 20206 yr Author Popular Post Label ain't the best...there was some confusion going on....as to whether it was a No. 118, or a No. 18 So...a hybrid? Actually the plane IS a Shelton No. 18 Will see how tomorrow goes....may just rest the leg.....been a busy day. Stay tuned...
May 24, 20206 yr Author Tell you what...I'll end this thread. I'll start up another one, because: Corner joints will be differently made Lid will be way different.... Rather than dig through all of this thread, a new one with a fresh start, seem to be in order... Stay tuned...
