July 20, 2025Jul 20 Popular Post This is the price tag.. $15, for a #4 sized Hand Plane! Hmmm.. No..it is NOT a Stanley Bedrock No. 604.... Something else....Vaughn & Bushnell No. 704 After just spending a dollar Bill for a Shelton No. 4....this was a bit expensive....both are the same size.. Took the #704 apart to clean it up... About an hour later... Have taken the iron upstairs, to where I keep the water stones..once the iron has been sharpened up..it should be about ready to go to work.. Stay tuned..
July 22, 2025Jul 22 Author Popular Post Sharpening day, yesterday... First of the water stones..and... The last of them... Set the chipbreaker 1mm back from the edge..check for any gaps.. Edge has also seen the Unicorn. with green compound...both on the bevel and the back...chipbreaker as well.. Assemble the plane.. Get a test track ready.. Clear, Soft Maple...and see how things go.. Quite well, actually... Might just be worth the $15? As for the Shelton? That is another story..still a work in progress.. Water stones are kept upstairs, by the Kitchen sink..I skipped the 1000 grit one... There is a logo on the iron, BTW... Vaughn & Bushnell "V & B"
