Picked up ani e old Stanley No.4 today, now I have two of the buggers. But this came with original box and manual!
After a clean, flatten, sharpen its shaving paper thin. I love using sharp hand tools, they’re a pleasure.
I’d love to complete the set, I’ve got 4, 4 1/2, 5, 6 and a 7 in various states of restoration.

Love those, looks in real good nik too. I struggle sharpen them correctly.
Reminds me to clean up mine as well and get them in working order again.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Nice plane BG, and with the box is legit. Collecting planes is a fun thing and they are a thing of beauty.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I did it with the eyecrometer. Turns out it's 33 degrees so yes. Happy New Year Ross.

Finally getting around to this. I have only used FR and Strat vibratos, about time I try something else!

Happy new year to you too. I recognised the symmetry immediately, nice deployment of the eyecrometer, I assume you used the knockometer also?

Always do. The tightness of the fit is directly related to the mass of the knockometer.
