Thread: Unknown plane bodies

The shiny bit around the outside of an infill smoother?

Thanks for that link.

The family that these came from emigrated from Scotland, next time I see them will have to have a look for any markings.

An interesting little plane cemetry! I see another body (looks like a panel plane) under the stuff behind the smoother bodies, and at least one blade - where are the other 2? You better have a good search for the lever caps & cap-irons if you want to try bringing these old campaigners back to life. I hope someone does - sad to see good old tools in a state of ruin.....

Cheers,

These look more like unfinished castings for infill planes than dilapidated old tools.
No holes in the sides to fix the infill or the lever caps yet.

Ooooohhhhh........that other plane is a funny colour.

From Scotland, you say? Might be some interesting family history there.
