Thank you Tom. Good advice. However if anyone can supply blades i will accept for payment. Cheers Jim

I have restored the No. 71plane body and have all the ancilliary parts except the three blades that apparently came with the original tool. Happy to pay a fair price.

I remember a safety poster showing a gory bare foot in a broken thong - with the words - The thong is ended but the malady lingers on!

I'm in.

I admire your cheek re donation of the #5 to you :). Thanks for your suggestion I will try the 'soft' option.

Cheers 5T

Hi All

The plane is in very good condition but I want to get the paint spots off the red Lucite (?) handles. I would welcome any solutions.

Hi Doggie

You must have been a very patient collector to get all the Titan chisels with the same decal and hence the same general production time. My congratulations. Cheers. Five Thumbs.

Hi All

A recent Ebay purchase. The routers are StanleyI #71 and the plough planes are Record #044. I can't see a brand on the 'egg beater' drill.

I was quite pleased with the big Sher saw. It...

Thanks JMK, I had checked out Stuart's site and Hans Brunner's site but I really want a Record. I suppose if push comes to shove I may get a Stanley lever cap with no trademark.

Cheers

Some years ago I bought this Record #8 along with a few other planes. Did my version of fettling them (user standard) and was reasonably pleased - except for the #8.

So the Record was put away in...

Did you use a buffing wheel at all or did you just sand with the micro mesh and then use some type of fine polish? I am really interested. You got a great win for the price. The Turner...
