That’s a great idea and it would be so easy to make.
Thanks for posting.

anticipating the effect of the Gerry Harvey tax?

You see all kind of strange mods done to tools while looking at Ebay. Saw a rather knocked about rebate plane that got me wondering what task the guy had in mind for it.

it looks as though a previous owner has turned the plane into a "full" bull nose variant


I also like the ever evolving definition of "antique" -- in this case probably circa 1990s.

'E's dropped it, & broke its nose.

From what I can see on the zoomed-up pic, no-one has even bothered to file the fracture smooth. Must have been interesting forcing that tank-bolt into the lever-cap, too, I don't think Record used 3/16 24tpi for their lever-cap screw, did they??

It's an intriguing bit of kit, someone has turned it into a fixed-radius compass plane - I wonder how the radiused piece is attached to the sole? The description leaves a little to be desired, doesn't it?

I suppose as long as the compass sole is detachable, it could be returned to service as a (slightly shorter) rebate plane with a blade added (I've found them pretty much essential to making a plane function), and a fence, but I don't think I'd be induced to pay even the $17 start-price for it, unless that includes postage....

Cheers,

missed most of that, especially the absence of a blade.

the 3/16 24tpi sort of makes it not even worthwhile for the one potential part.

Looks like he has had a particular task in mind for it and no router. Going by the state of the plane there was nothing to loose either. Another point I have just realised is that the nose would be in the way of turning it into a radius plane.
It is a bit cheeky asking any money for it but then that's Ebay.

I got myself Woodworking for Dummies few days ago since I can feel it in my bones that I should learn this stuff somehow. We just transferred to a farm so there's so much things that needs to be repaired or restored. Hope I could get the hang of it soon.

I never thought my interest in S&J saws would be referenced in an eBay listing:

Good to see at least one seller is doing a bit of research.

would 20 tpi be an original filing?
or is it more likely that the teeth have been recut?

the closed handle suggests to me a tenon rather than a dovetail saw.

The Vintage Record Abomination from post 2180 has been relisted every two weeks now for the last 5 months; although the ridiculous starting price of $17 has changed to a much more reasonable $40

Yes, saws were sold with 20TPI. From the 1961 catalogue.

I wonder if the 20tpi count included the chunk missing out of the tooth line?
