My tuppence worth is to check (and adjust as necessary) the cap iron front edge, frog mating surface and the lever cap front edge is dead flat. If they are not, then the blade and hence the cutting edge cutting edge will deform into the shape of the all combined. I have a Record jointer plane which is really nice but the lever cap front clamping edge was concave so really only clamping against the cap iron on the outer edges. This was pushing the edges of the blade down and therefore cutting more on the outside edges. 2 minutes to dress the lever cap fixed the problem. Also I have found that the cheaper Stanley planes with plastic knobs are useless because the adjustment lever pushes into the plastic and deforms it to the extent that the blade is not stable and therefore moves in use if you hit a bit of a snag in the wood or whatever. They don't usually clamp the frog to the plane body very well either in the cheaper versions and I don't think these can be easily made to work well or well enough for me that is.

I got seriously lucky about a year ago at a car boot with a 14" x 2 1/2 to 3" tapered Charnley forest stone for the princely sum of 50p. The seller said that someone had bought the case but didn't want the 'dirty old stone' in it, so knocked it out and left it behind ! ....... wish I could get that lucky that every week, but a shame I didn't get there half an hour earlier and get the box too ;>) ..... having said that, I am normally there before 5am most Sundays. Yesterday I got a Hindostan [ Indiana, US. natural siltstone ] 8 1/2 x 2 1/4" along with full set of cutters for a combination plane .... all for a couple of quid. That stone is very gummed up with crusty old oil and iron swarf and needs a serious de-greasing before flattening- any suggestions as to the best way to deep clean the black 'gunk' ??

Actually a good idea to have a folding caliper. Yeah there will always be some inherent inaccuracy regardless of how it folds but I occasionally could use a caliper longer than 6" but those get really expensive really quickly, and storing them would be a hassle for some twice a year measurement. Although I suppose nowadays this could be easily achieved with a chinesium laser.
@faceedgewoodworking 2 ай бұрын
It's an interesting idea. During my apprentice years I relied on a tape measure and a white plastic folding rule. I've added cheap digital calipers and an Aigner Distometer for machine work. Now I know this rule is for feet it's actually pretty accurate.

Perhaps it is used to measure the spacing in floor joists or wall studs. Pace the 'clamp' over the previous joist/stud, then slide the next one up to the short drop edge on the other end.

@@faceedgewoodworking Disregard what I said :) Watching the video again I realised that there is a wood block at the end of the rule which would do an admirable job of keeping the sliding stop from coming off XD I have handled them many years ago, but wasn't able to afford one at the time. Sooo, my, hopefully, better assessment is that the pin would serve to prevent the rule (when folded up and knocking around in your kit) from being pushed out of alignment and putting strain on the hinges etc. I have wooden folding carpenters rules, and an antique ivory sector (looks like a carpenter's rule, but is actually a scientific calculator) and they all have locating pins in the sides of them so that when folded up the two halves are 'locked' together and protected from accidental twist. In regards use, they would probably be better suited for getting a 'size' reading for off the shelf footwear. For bespoke work, the customer's feet are traced out on paper, and copious measurements are taken around the feet with tape measures etc, and locations of prominent bones and such are marked down. Wooden lasts are then carved to match (or some places will take a close sized last and modify them) and the shoes made around them. Retired now :) Well done, nice find. Cheers from Australia

My grandfather was a shoemaker. I never got to know him, because he died quite young in his mid fifties - but I know the remains of his workshop from when I was still a little kid. So obviously he never could have shown me how to use this type of ruler. But I am fairly certain, that this is a special caliper used by shoemakers back in the day. In that shoemaker workshop of my grandfather there was at least one such ruler with which I used to play around as a little kid.

There were similar rulers I seem to recall being used in shoe shops early post war. They were often used to measure children’s feet. In the fifties the X ray machines were installed in many large she shops and the assistant and your parents viewed your feet in the shoe through them. In Norwich, home of Startright , the rulers were simplified with a very large heel support that slid and a tape that was placed over the foot while you stood on the rule.

I just bought my first serious fine saw. It's PAX Gent's saw and I'm quite pleased with it. Previously I've use a Bacho bow saw frame, with a Nobex miter saw blade, probably 18TPI or so, which is to fine for my use. I must say that putting tension on a blade adds benefits. It has to be straight spanning to fixed points, and there seems to be less vibrations. For cutting tenons I will continue to reach for my Bacho bow saw, but the little PAX will be great for fine stuff like dovetails in thin stock. Although I probably re-tooth it to 16TPI.

I have an old Dunlap #3 and Buck Brothers #4 and #5. All three would be considered cheap junky planes and I flattened them and just cleaned them up and they work perfectly fine. I can get really good shavings off all of them. I have quite a few hand planes now and I have yet to come across one that won't work after doing some work on them. My favorite plane is a Stanley Bailey #4 1/2 . It was pretty rusty and beat up but I fixed it up with the iron that came with it. I left the rust patina on everything except the bottom and the blade. That thing works like a dream.
