Exactly that Ian . Thanks.

Is that the way they are normally done, the old English ones?

I Saw this saw on eBay UK ,
An interesting idea I thought ,

I have thought of the need for a depth cutting set up like these saws do , and was thinking how the blade could possibly be held between two pieces of wood with one handle rather than screwed to one side. There probably is examples of it being done that way ? I just cant picture them ATM.

Rob, I have to admit I have no idea - I just made it up as I went along! Derek Cohen uses a great big backsaw & a guide to saw sliding d/t & trench sides. I tried that & found it cumbersome, but my home-made jobbie is much easier to use & has worked well for me, though I have only used it on a couple of jobs so far. It's one of those tools I only need once a year, as an amateur, but I reckon you'd have it out a lot more often.....

Cheers,

Yep, thanks peter, I have seen them , I was just wondering if the older UK or US ones I have seen are like Ian's , the blade sandwiched between the wood instead of screwed to one side like the eBay one. and adjustable as well .

Or were the old wooden type fixed so they allways cut the same depth?

Why twist the handles of this drawknife?

Perhaps it's a rare Japanese pushknife...

Love to know the story behind that one.

Well what a goose he'd be....it's clearly handlebars, advertised in the wrong section.

I was looking around for a #6 plane (or similar) after using one in a woodworking course. They're around (new) for <$200.
Found this - asking $80:
STANLEY NO 6 PLANES SALE AS IT PLEASE EMAIL ME IF INTEREST | Hand Tools | Gumtree Australia Woden Valley - Isaacs


Got a little scared.
Then I thought "Man up, get that rust off with a bit of sanding and it could be great, so long as the sole's ok..."




[Gone to hide under bed so the planing nightmares don't get me]

That would probably still clean up ok ... but better at $40-50.

But I'd warrant that someone on here could get you a far better example at a good price ...

Yes, 80 bucks is a bit cheeky for something in that condition. It does have wooden handles, not plastic, which puts it pre-1970-ish. The sole & sides don't appear to be pitted, & should clean up ok, as Paul says, but lord knows what condition the blade is in. That's not a major concern, since an after-market blade is likely to be a big improvement on what's in it at present.....

Cheers,

[TobyC]

That should clean up just fine, looks like a decent Bailey. Most of what you see on the sole will come off with a razor blade. Offer 50, all he can do is say no.

before jumping in ask if the plane comes apart

I got a No7 a couple of years back that the screws had rusted in and were unmoveable couldn't get the frog off, have it soaking in diesel at the moment
