  2. "the Walnut" Free-form Wooden Ring #1

    Hey guys! It has been a while since I've posted any projects, so I figured I'd share something. :) This is a size 7 Walnut ring. It's quite different from our other rings in that it features an asymmetric design. The base is our standard bentwood construction with solid pieces joined and...
  3. Carvings

    These are my feeble attempts at carving, I'm not really much of a painter as you can see on the ducks, but when i go to michigan next i will take them with me and know a pretty serious craft painter up there (my mommy) :) and they will get painted up like they deserve.
  4. My Bench - 21st Century/Roubo

    This is my first workbench. Also my first large woodworking project. Essentially complete, with the exception of the tool trays. I finished it a while ago, but am just getting around to posting it. The bench is mostly ash, with the exception of the legs, which are hard maple. It is very...

    Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on Stanley planes from 1900-1920. I've been looking to buy an old #5 as a first plane to learn about the process. Is it common to find these with 90% or more of the japanning remaining? I know there are copies out there, but i've...

    Hello all, I am continuing to look at vintage Stanley planes and would like to know if the frog adjustment screw, found on the bailey style planes starting around 1910, really makes that much of a difference in adjusting the frog. I can see how it would make adjustment easier, but does it affect...
  8. Hand Tools
    Hello everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I recently picked up a few planes on eBay (a No. 5 and a No. 7, might purchase the Veritas 60 1/2 and can't wait to get it) and I'm looking to flatten their soles. My question is this-how big does the reference plate have to be to...
  9. Hand Tools
    I recently bought a #5C at an antiques store for $22. The tote was broke in half and the knob was broken out around the base. There was also a chunk missing front the left side cheek at the toe. I probably should have left it on the self and walked away. The iron is about done for as well. So I...
  10. Hand Tools
    Hey everyone, new poster but I frequent the site. Just getting into woodworking with hand tools and I'm trying to source a jack plane. I found a stanley no.5c type 8 at a local thrift store. They want $55 which is on the higher end of what I would pay but it's the only local one I can find. The...
  11. Hand Tools
    Sad to say but some how my No. 5 has a hairline crack in the side behind the adjustment knob. No idea how/when. I was working an Ironwood (Hophornbeam) log and noticed it. This one is my go to. It a 1950's? vintage? Thick casting, plastic handles, made in USA. Oh well - It will still work...

    Stanley 12-920 Block Plane Evening Folks, Like many of my fellow LJ'ers, I started out with power tools and have started to develop an interest in hand tools. I have been picking up some odds and ends, when both the wallet and the need permits. I received an early birthday present from the...

    The Acquisition Several weeks ago I was discussing my wood working habit with my wife's uncle, and expressed my desire to obtain an antique Stanley plane. He was about to head down to Texas for a vacation to some giant garage sale, and he'd keep an eye out for me. I pulled up a picture on my...
  14. Hand Tools
    Hey, I just picked up a Stanley No. 5 Type 5 for 18 bucks ( I checked that Pat info and it's definitely a Type 5 1888). It has minimal rust and I think the tote may be a replacement. Any idea what this thing is worth?

    Hi all, I have a stanley #5 plane I got a while ago at a flea market with the intention of restoring it to it's original glory, but because a lot went on and time went by it's parts miraculously disappeared and now I just don't have time to work with it.Anyway I have the sole(well I dont know...
  16. Hand Tools
    Long ago I came into possession of an old (but not classic) Stanley #5. Says Stanley #5 but there are no patent numbers or anything. I think my father bought it for some purpose. No idea why - he was a wonderful man but had two left hands when it came to tools. Anyway, this plane has been...
