FFS! I know how I want to post a thread and I don't need your dumb suggestions.

.6 of a mm mostly. Some were a little thicker like .8mm.

I never took a picture before the top came off Sam and this is all I have. The top with its base. It'll be back together in a week though so Ill take a pic then.

Hi Sam . If you dont seal the can 100% it goes off. It can be a total loss of 4LT. And the more air that gets in the can as you use it and the level drops sets a skin on top. Ive never seen a full...

Nigel.
I just checked as I’m finally in the location of the catalog.
Sorry . It’s a 1924 catalog :roll:.

Rob .

edit
A bit of a thread on the catalog here.

I could see you first cut and paste pics.
The catalog is NOT 1928.

My Mistake.

What do you mean Matt ? Can’t you view it ? Doesn’t Instagram run ?
When I look at the link on my phone it runs. But I’m an Instagram member. Maybe that’s why ?

Maybe the test tag on the one for sale is on the other side like your machine Nigel . That’d be good if it’s there to be seen.Theres not many ME machines to be seen.
Did the seller reply about it ?...

The tag if it’s still on the machine may be under that switch box.
If it has no back on it. Otherwise they took it off to fit the box maybe.

It looks to be an old ME

How’s the throat chopper!

Hi Sam . Are you putting a shine on your latest project? Ive been wondering what your next post on that will be.
I cant answer in regards to Hardwax oil . The only thing Ive used that may be close...

This looks like one of those thumb-hole rip saws Ian doesn't it ?
Possibly a couple of Queensland blokes ripping of a bit of figured Maple or Red Cedar for a job?

I was thinking of saying your folks didn't make you join the scouts did they :).
But then I saw this and the picture.
Is that your set up and its sitting on bitumen?
In which case you...

That Looks great MA! Good job.
What did you do with the bridge pins? Just part of the way in? And screw or glue? I suppose with the right size holes in the bridge they would knock in and never...

I just saw this on FB market place .
$250 and price not important . New home is .
I can see a possible $300 infill in there.
I could put a link but I think you would have to be a member of that...

I never though to ask the OP guy.
So I just went back to find it.

No need to ask. He has edited his post. :).
He was getting a few questions about what he meant by square blade.

Ahh thanks .
The cutters in these are something like 30 to 45 degrees positive rake. I’ll have to try grinding. I do have a diamond wheel but it’s very fine . May need something better?

His last comment 😂

How would you scrape Mild steel though David? I brazed an old Thicknesser tungsten cutter on each end of a steel bar and had a go honing it on a diamond plate before trying it on MS and it just digs...

I hadn't seen this info before about Stanley plane washers.
Picture is from a FB post I saw today.
Any idea what is meant by reject Square blades?

Nice looking veneer coming off that.

That looks Great MA.
Ive been wondering the same as Ian I think. Are the sides staying like they are atm or is there a shape change coming which is a secret? :).

Rob

.
My one looks all original . No later additions that I know of. The T board with the screwed corner blocks look to be the way it was made.

That was usually done with hide glue as when you...

Nice score Martin.
It looks like the screwed on pieces are sacrificial parts that bring the planing surfaces up to the right level to work . Screwing them on is no good unless the heads are sunken...

Its thinners not turps or metho.

All purpose thinners is just a general thinner. Not like turps or Metho. Its thin and oily like turps but different and what a lot of paints and finishes are...

Look at the height of the guard post on them . Thet touch the ground and are 6 or 8 inches off the table. They are low machines either waiting for the rest of their base or are they the type that...

Its well worth pointing out stupid stuff people do no matter where it is in the world. Even if its Just so young players can learn what not to do. Its a great way of learning and remembering.

I think the Wattyl is a thinner based stain. It thins with metho or turps but all purpose thinner seems best . And it smells like thinner.
Metho just wipes it off once its dry on the wood as you...

I'm watching Sam. :)

What was the sanding sealer brand you used before?
What was it that took ages about it on your clock? The sanding back part after coats had dried?

Is this some sort of tantrum your throwing?

Yes that’s it .

I went back to a Isuzu Dmax tray back after trying a sort of Van , a Toyota troopy. Before that I had a tray truck and before that a bodied ute back . The tray is best for working from with timber...

Thanks for the tips again Ian. That curved sided body is nice.
I'm looking forward to finishing my plane and the blade is next.
I caught some sort of bug though and have been to sick to go into...

Sounds like some nice machinery to have access to Martin. Some may come in handy for a bit of plane making for you.

Thanks Martin.
Getting into it and taking pics to be able to show warts and all is part of the enjoyment of doing it.

Yeah! So that feeling never leaves ? :).

That could come in handy thanks Matt. I could use that to hold or even jack apart my low spots. Ive got a couple after sanding that are still low.

I took over 60 pictures doing this yesterday.
So its a picture feast of a post. :)

Another beauty Ian. Thanks for the tips. Ill see what happens when I get to the sole and mouth. This plane making is an adventure. Once again I'm discovering how tricky building small is. I'm...

Its some sort of Aussie Gum Tree. There's so many types that blend in with the same mid average colour and grain its hard to tell them apart.

The edge on HPF's bit has a curve. So a curve works ? And does the amount of curve matter? My carbide bits have a greater curve than that below I think? They are Ex thicknesser blades. The square...
