Thanks for the replies!

Won’t be buying this one then! :)I thought it was a bit expensive, I have only e bay to compare prices and it seems that the berg stuff there is a bit overpriced.

Again...

Hi all!

I’m thinking of buying an Erik Anton Berg plane, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price. How much would you give for it? The seller wants 70 dol for it, if I include shipping it runs to...

Hi all and happy Easter!:U

I'm on vacation at my father in laws place; they live in a farming community in Norway (just outside of Bergen). I just went roaming through the old tools in the barn...

Hi Des!
That was a good read!
I probably didn't hit enough times, and I seem to have hit to close to the edge of the blade (judging by the pic in the link). I will make a new attempt at it;...

Hi all!
I'm trying to set up my kanna blade. I bought a plane that was on the cheaper side, and I have used it for about 2 years now, sharpened it a couple of times before. And now i need to flatten...

Hi guys!

I was wondering if anyone knew what this plane might be used for? The seller told me it was a plane used in boat building... It has B.Holmes stamped into the front and back of the plane....

Hi all.

I found a store in my city that has shun water stones at a reasonable price, I was wondering if anyone has used these stones before. The stone they have is a combo #300#1000. I think these...

Wow and i thought Norway was expensive!

I probably can’t say that they are rear, seeing that Norway is right next to Sweden. It’s the first time I have seen one off the internet though… I found...

Here’s my best buy of the year.
3 E.A Berg planes and 4 E.A Berg chisels for 70 dol bought at an antic fear in Bergen. Not really a bargain compared to eBay but in Norway a 0,5l coca cola costs...

I would start sharpening freehand, sure the first times you will get edge geometry, but after a while you can do it quick and successful. Besides if the chisel isn’t 100% 90 degrees it still cuts...

Hi!
Thanks for all the comments :U and sorry for the late reply:(.


I used European beech for the inlay piece. And although I haven’t gotten around to sharpening the blade/bedding it properly...

Hi guys!

I have finally closed the mouth down to 2mm, I figured that would be better since it’s not an appropriate finishing plane. I went for the mouth insert option. I did all of the work with...

Hi guys!:U

I have just started to fix up an old wooden plane. It was originally set with a Jernbolaget iron, but i exchanged it with an E.A berg blade. The problem now is that the mouth opening is...

Thanks for the quick replies!:)

I was wondering if I should use boiled or raw linseed oil on the entire plane or raw on the bottom and boiled on the rest? And how many layers do i need, is 1...

Hi all!!!:)

I just started flattening the sole of my old wooden plane and before i knew it I had removed the finish on the whole plane (it really had lost its beauty). The only problem now is that...

Hi Trav!

I bought myself 9 two cherries chisels + 3 mortise chisels (two cherries) unpolished from dieter Schmidt a couple of months ago.

The only thing I dislike about them is that the side...

Hi all!:)

Some time ago I bought myself some water stones, a king 1000-8000# and a naniwa 3000#.

Since that time i have flattened a lot of chisels and plane blades and it has taken its toll on...

I'm getting jealous! How much did you spend on them?

Hi all!
Went on a antic fear and stumbled upon these: 4 E.A Berg tang chisels, 1 E.A Berg plane blade dated 1897 on chip breaker, 1 plane blade from Jernbolaget, and a rusty E.A Berg rebate plane. ...

Hi all!

I have just bought 4 E.A Berg tang chisels, i was wondering if anyone has tried to achieve the lowest bevel angle possible on these types of chisels? In my case i will be using them as...

But when you look at a piece of wood how do you know which way the broom goes? I know why I get tear out but i can’t seem to predict witch way I will get it before i try...

Hi all.
I'm having some trouble sorting out the grain direction on a piece off wood I’m handplaining, when I plain the wrong way large chunks off wood comes flying off. I have read about grain...

Why use only hand or power tools? more fun using both!:)

Nice!:2tsup:

If I where you I would stick with it for a while, is there any reason you would like the other stuff more? When you start to master some of the aspects of woodworking it will most lightly become fun....

Andreas87, I saw some Bahcos like yours yesterday, each one in it's own holster, not pricey if they work for you. They don't have the strike plate on the handle to pass the blow down the blade, do...

Hi thanks for the replies!
I haven’t seen any Berg chisels... ever. If there are a lot of them they must be in Sweden. I have seen a lot of Kongsberg chisels but never berg unfortunately I would...
