  1. kitchen island

    I made this from a 2×10 shipping skid
  2. How about a Sargent #3508 restored.

    I really like these transitional planes. They restore pretty easy. Tuning is a bit of a bitch, but it makes me understand the physics of the planes better. I bought this at a flea market. I think I paid $5 for it. Its got a little thicker blade than some. Its typical beech base and knob and...

  9. Hand Tools
    I have no idea what this stain was, on a Stanley #31 I purchased. Seems like drafting ink from a few generations ago. But I just had to have this tool! And before it goes into my case, it's getting a good refurbishment. The forecast calls for Blizzard conditions, so on this lazy Sunday, I...
  10. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    My father recently picked up a transitional bailey for me at an auction. I've never seen one like this before: it has a metal plate that was attached to the bottom. When I removed the plate, I saw that there were two series of holes drilled into the base - both of which were stripped. I...

    First transitional restore I've put off restoring transitional planes for a couple of reasons. First I heard they were hard to tune, and they can be easy to find, but a bit more pricey then their metal counterparts. Well, I think I'm in the game now. I've had this plane for a while, and finally...

    Stanley #31 Transitional Plane Restoration I came across an antique shop that had some old tools while on vacation. After strolling through I picked up a few planes and a saw vise (more to come on them later). Once I got home I decided I should start on the Stanley #31 first. I did some...

    Stanley #29 Transitional "Chute (Shoot) Plane and Board" This is a Stanley #29 Fore plane that I converted into a chute plane. Since I am on a tight budget, I couldnt afford a LV or LN chute plane, so I decided to make a chute plane from a transitional plane after seeing what poopiekat came up...
  14. Hand Tools
    I've always wanted the ultimate Stanley transitional, although I have a dozen or so of the lesser sizes, I really wanted an EPIC transitional. I bought this crusty example of a #132 at an antique shop. The sneaky trick about putting new wood under an old transitional is to think in terms of 4...
  15. Hand Tools
    If I go out shopping for old planes too often, I reach the 'diminishing returns' concept. Seems like nobody but me is in the market for old plane acquisitions in this town, and I have to wait a bit for the market to replenish itself. So.. Here goes: Yep, that's a Union #7C , great...
  16. Hand Tools
    I bought another Stanley Liberty Bell plane, I dunno, I just like 'em, and in a way they are a step up from mere transitionals. This one, upon closer inspection, was in pretty tough shape, bodywise. All the metal hardware was good, however, so here goes: As you can see, somebody already...
  17. Finishing
    I'm in the middle of building a "modern" style crib that will have white painted dowels between natural finished walnut. Do any LJ's have slick trick for painting a round dowel? I tried making some braces I could lay them flat and then roll the paint on with a little roller, but there isn't...
  18. Hand Tools
    I've been searching for a Stanley #25 Transitional, there is a gap in my collection for one. Wondering, is the Sargent #3409 a suitable alternate? The cast iron upper body looks like a carbon copy of the Stanley #25, but I'm not sure. That long boattail rear end is nearly the same, visually...
  19. Hand Tools
    I thought I'd post some pix of my transitional planes. These were purchased by me over the years with no objective in mind, other than that they intrigue me. This collection represents only what I've found out there over the past three decades, ones that were priced reasonably and worthy of...
