jammy Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well look what turned up today... http://www.solar.myby.co.uk/misc/andy/TAS2.jpg http://www.solar.myby.co.uk/misc/andy/TAS3.jpg I'll be giving them all a tune up/first use tomorrow, so expect a report - all looking good so far though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_A_T_T Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 That's the foreplane, right? Is that the standard or low-angle blockplane? Those are GREAT planes. I have the foreplane, standard blockplane & low-angle joiner. ENJOY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 It's the for plane indeed, and the low angle block plane. I sharpened/used them today for the first time both BRILLIANT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_A_T_T Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I really like my foreplane - not too big, not too small. Has a good weight to it, too. I bought a second blade for mine that I ground teeth into so I can use it on heavily figured wood without chipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 *has tool envy* I mean, I've got my nice old #5 Stanley Baily, but I still wouldn't say no to a longer plane, and a nicer block plane. And I just blew my tool budget for the next few months on a nice set of hand-cut rasps and a bunch of files. And it's not like I need more planes, I just want more planes....and I'll just consider myself lucky that I don't really feel the slightest need to buy Japanese chisels when good long-bladed 'western' ones serve me so well. Small mercies, eh? Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
