Introduction Welcome to the "What's It" category for member submissions. After several years of having fun with the MWTCA What's It project, we are now asking our members to submit their own items, implements, and tools for us all to help figure out just what the heck it is! We are not closing down our MWTCA project, far from it, but we are opening a category for Patriot Woodworker's to have fun with, and discuss and collaborate over items of mysterious uses and origins. General Guidelines The following submission guidelines are suggestions, and subject to change as we grow this category. For now though please try to use these guidelines when you submit your "What's It". Submit multiple images of the item so folks can see all the parts and views of the item. Try to take a picture of your item with something of scale so viewers know what the approximate size of your item is. You could set a ruler next to your item, your own hand, an orange, an apple, or anything that will show us the size of the item. Most importantly, please examine your item for any markings that may help us in our research of your item, patent dates, names, engravings etc. and if found please take close up clear images of those markings. Ensure images are clear and clean. Thank you for participating in our What's It category for member submissions!

Grand Prize Sponsored by Woodcraft Supply ~ Win a beautiful Rob Cosman 22-15 TPI Dovetail Saw with Black Resin Handle (value $250), with your referenced answer to this months "What's It". This months "What's It" is sponsored by our supporter Woodcraft Supply. Rob Cosman designed and developed this dovetail saw to address the problems he had seen. The first two inches of the blade has super-fine, 22 TPI for ease of starting the cut, while the remainder of the blade has more aggressive 15 TPI for finishing the cut quickly. With an extra-heavy brass back and an overall weight of 22 oz., versus 13 oz. of other high-end dovetail saws, the saw itself provides the downward pressure for smooth, vibration-free cuts. Composite handles have carved finger recesses for a comfortable fit in the hand. A slight .002 inch (per side) set makes for dead-straight saw cuts and produces a .024 inch kerf. Each saw is personally tested by Rob prior to shipping. Overall saw length is 15-1/8", blade length is 10", cutting depth is 1-5/8". .tg {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;margin:0px auto;} .tg td{font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;padding:10px 5px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;overflow:hidden;word-break:normal;} .tg th{font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;padding:10px 5px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;overflow:hidden;word-break:normal;} .tg .tg-yzt1{background-color:#efefef;vertical-align:to "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.

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.
