Thanks @delbs. I will be in touch to arrange some postage and payments details.

Specially ordered a few years ago from Terry who had a small batch of Brazilian Rosewood to choose from. This particular piece is dark and dense, perfect for this style of hand plane. It has only...

Great machine Henry! Always nice to have all the original inserts and bobbins. Look forward to seeing some more pictures when you have it setup.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for sharing photos of your Ripsaw with the forum. Awesome piece of gear that.

I didn't get a photo of the other side of the fence I'm afraid. I'll do some more research for...

Some beautiful machines amongst this lot mate. All still working making windows and doors up until a few months ago.

Yeah? I've never seen one before. It looks to be an early casting with the...

Hi all,

I have a fella locally (Newcastle NSW) who's closing down his heritage window and door business and is looking to sell everything. He would prefer to sell the lot including timbers,...

Yes it does have the setting roller. It's a little sticky at the moment but I'm hoping I can get it moving freely with a little lubricant.

Having such a great story really adds to the appeal of the machine for me and yes, it's in pretty good condition with original paint so, I would really like to get it cleaned up and moving freely so...

There are only a few slight differences that I will outline when the machine gets home. I'll take some close up pictures and compare for you.

I'd love to see the results from that test mate. I...

I'm very happy that the machine is original Rob. I have every intention of restoring it one day but for now, I want to give it a good clean and get it working to its full potential. Yes the side...

G'day fellow Wadkin tragics,

This week I purchased an early Wadkin RK thicknesser from Millicent in South Australia. It is an interesting machine with some slight differences to that of the later...

Hi,

Sorry, I can’t take $250. I need to get a little more than that.
Thankyou for your offer.

Cheers

Thank you for your offer. $200 is a little low considering the price of ebony currently. Happy to negotiate though.

Not yet, still available.

Macassar Ebony Billet. Colour is near jet black with a slight area showing the sapwood as show in the pictures. Small crack at one end. Can be used for a number of applications, guitar fretboards,...

G'day Charlie,

Last time I commented on this thread I mentioned that I too was missing the chain block from my MA, which was disappointing but if it wasn't for your initial post I wouldn't have...

Selling my 3/4 HNT Gordon shoulder plane in beautiful Brazilian Rosewood. This plane has never been used. Still in its original box wrapped in its original packaging. Asking $320 ono. I can post at...

Hi Charlie,

My MA is missing that component as well. I will most likely be using the mortice chisels more than I would the chains but it would be nice to have the option there and also have it...

Hi Everyone,


I'm excited to share an update on the Wadkin RD cutter block with you all. I have been on hiatus for some time now, renovating my home and working through some changes at work so I...

Congratulations on the find mate. The MA is such a good looking machine and I know its one you have wanted for a while.
I'll have to check mine and see if its got that attachment for the chain, I...

Hi Rob,

Thanks for sharing your restoration process with us all. I'd really like to try your Parafin/Carnauba mix on my machines. I am still yet to find a good protective coasting for my cast...

Thanks Pete, I’ll be in touch 👍

You are welcome to come take a look and see what you think. It’s a fantastic machine. Bigger is better, that’s what they say don’t they?

Cheers
S&S

Thankyou so much for your input on this, very interesting. I think I'll be doing the same as Rob from now on, putting them on the scales to get them close as possible. It can't hurt to get them...

G’day folks,

I have for sale my Wadkin RD planer. It has 16 Inch cutter head which, from what I’ve been told by forum members, was a special order cutter head. It is a two knife skew cutter head...

Rob,

Such a beautiful machine you have.
Yes thats right, they are called a bridge guard. I think its a fantastic design because It's always covering the cutter head when in use.
The buckle...

Matty,

I had my suspicions as well mate. Everything was in such good condition, I couldn't imagine anything not being original.
There are two things on this machine that don't add up. Normally...

Yes thats right mate. It's got the prevision for the moulding knives. I would not be game to run moulding knives unless I had one of those special shoes that Jack Forsberg had made for his RM.

Vann,

Here are some shots of my first RD.

This is my second RD.

Matty,

My first RD has studs, still in good condition with not visible issues.
It's the skew type head as far as I know, I'm not sure I know the difference between skewed and angled...
My...

It's definitely a possibility Matty. My original thoughts were that because this head didn't have the dovetail slots for the moulding knives that this head was held with bolts. But, there are a...

Fitting these studs progressively will be a challenge but if I start studs with matching weights I should be ok. I don't want to cut them down if I can help it but if I do i'll have to make sure they...

Vann,

Yes I do, I have a couple of brand new 5/8 BSW bolts in my inventory so I tested them out and they fit perfectly. The bolts that came from the head are clean and the threads look to be in...

Vann,

Thank you for clearing that up. I'll be sure to keep that in mind when fitting the studs. I measured each stud and from one side to the other on my other RD and they drop down 1mm, so the...

Hi Vann,

Thanks for getting in touch.
Thats a great price for the studs, just a shame that the minimum order was 50. Did you order them all the same? Length of stud, thread length, shoulder...

Hi All,

Just over 2 weeks ago I was lucky enough to purchase my second RD 16 Inch Planer. It's in great condition with 98% of its original parts still intact and working well. I'm planning to do...

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to sell my brand new Woodfast machine. I’ve been lucky enough to acquire a nice old Wadkin and need to sell ASAP.
It’s brand new, 2 weeks old and has made 2-3 cuts. ...

Thank you guys for the welcome.
