Thanks for listing it here.

Tom,
I have a couple dowel pointers, and I think I have a rounder as well ( makes a dome) by Stanley and a Preston with square tangs, but that pencil sharpener would do the spokes pointing on a pretty small wheel

A model stagecoach perhaps?
They all cut the same way.
I've seen some spoke pointers around the tool sale tables, but never felt the urge to purchase one.

Regards,
Peter

OK my turn.
This will be so easy so you have to get the reason for the odd one out.
If you pick the plane but the wrong reason, I will say "not what I was thinking"
There are plenty of clues in the picture to help you.
Good luck

Hi Tom

Let's knock out a herring.. back row, fourth in, The Carter being the only Australian made plane in the line up?

**CameronPotter** · 18th August 2009, 10:48 PM

Well, it has to be the King or Queen...

8 pawns
2 rooks
2 knights
2 bishops
only 1 king and 1 queen.

So they don't have any matches...

**Scribbly Gum** · 18th August 2009, 10:49 PM

Yes you are right The Carter being the only Australian made plane in the line up
But not what I was thinking
Thanks Luban

Maybe the king and the queen are a match.

Front row far right, the only only one not close made from a stanley mould? I know I'm wrong

!!
Love the chessboard idea BTW Tom. Great idea

**Eldanos of KDM** · 18th August 2009, 11:55 PM

Wait... Front right for wrong lever cap?

**Ellemcbeast** · 19th August 2009, 06:54 AM

No.6 from the left in the back row is the only scrub plane.

**Ellemcbeast** · 19th August 2009, 06:56 AM

Further, it is the only plane pictured, designed to cut across the grain.
All the rest are used with, or at a skew to the grain.

You are right Dane.
It's a Sargent and the lever cap is correct.
Not what I was thinking.
Nice try though

I have been reading your username as Ellem-C- Beast for ages.
It has just hit me Elle-McBeast - very elle-e-gant - I like it.
All of these planes cut with the grain.
No nickers here Elle.
Nice try though.

bottom row second from right, wrong knob?
and if the one fourth from the right is aluminium by any chance that would be it.

All knobs are correct as far as I know.
No aluminium in this lineup Dane.
Sorry - not what I was thinking

**Scribbly Gum** · 19th August 2009, 07:02 PM

OK maybe time for a clue.
Think of the planes as chess pieces.
Cheers
