^ I think that's what a #9 Mitre might look like if it were designed today (silly sentence, but you know what I mean, hopefully). Knob in the back, like an old #9 1/4 or #9, meant to work on it's side (like the hotdog of the #9), but with an actual holding feature in the front (knob). Very clever, looks great, and I'm sure it works well because it's a Veritas product.

 

False alarm. Saw the plane I asked about early this week.

It was a no name plane. Only had Made in USA cast in the base. Painted handles.

Sure was hoping it was a scrub plane.

Oh there is always next week.

 

 

^ Say what? As in, what is it?? (Aside from being foreplane-ish…)

 

A Metallic Plane Co. Palmers patent.

 

That rises to the level of Gadget, that frog does. Wow.

 

Don, Rube Golberg would have been proud of that setup.

 

Very cool, but I wouldn't want to try and use it-I don't have enough thumbs to operate all those levers.

 

I counted something like five adjustments that I can see.

 

My hunt for Stanley 3's continues…trying to collect one of each type.

Now, here's a reason for me to sit by the mailbox, (seller's photo)

a Pre-lateral type4 that appears to be in great shape, the broken tote should repair nicely?

I hate to give away my bidding strategies, but as soon as any online auction receives more than 3 bids, I look elsewhere. Grabbed this little plane with the opening bid! Sometimes the instant gratification of kneeBay must be used to teach patience…

Do you have a type 14, yet? If not, are you interested in one?

 

^no SW's yet.
very interested!
PM me…

 

Looks like this one has seen some use

Good ol butcher iron

 

Love the hand impressions. Must have been someones "go-to-tool"

Don, how old is that plane?

 

Putty 1870ish

Terry, I've got a type 16 #3. Thats a sweet type 4.

And Terry did you bid on this. I figured it would go between $400 and $600 and no I didn't bid, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Early-Stanley-No-3-Type-3-Prelateral-Smooth-Plane-/231652898104?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=bGfwQN09fZBVjiXtLoi7f8DxDt8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I need a type 12 & 14 #4!

 

I need a lot of Types of #45's still …

 

Sigh, I blame all of you for this:

- bobasaurus

ohhhhhhh men
i need one of those did not know they had a #7 low angle nice

 

Don, I already have a type16, but Thanks!
No, I didn't bid on that gorgeous Type3…

If I bought a $400 plane right now, I might as well invest in a divorce lawyer to help keep it!
LOL!

 

A little late but after one uses the sun plane to level the barrel the croze is used to cut the groove for the barrel head. Here is a croze. If anyone is interested I'd like to sell it as part of my tool reduction program.
