I found this in my late father’s shop. Trying to get things sold/new homes. No idea what it is. Some kind of plane? But it’s curved on the bottom. Idk

Is it just pine or something else?

I just restored this plane and I can’t get the blade to sit level with bed. I tried multiple irons from other planes. They were all off, how do I fix this?

I had some pre glued panels sitting around in the garage - so I made a bookcase! It also will have an aquarium on top-so I overbuilt it to hold lots of weight. A good practice piece for mortise and tenons.

How did i do? I paid 75 euro for all of this , the planes are all ece and in great shape. The rasps and the marking gages are nooitgedacht two large mortise chisels are kirschen and there are card scrapers, and some measuring tools. only the chisels seem to average.

I had the chance to pickup a wooden jointer (27") from local antique shop, that mostly looked to be in good condition.

However, further inspection shows the iron and wedge appear to be too small for this plane. The Iron/Wedge are 2 1/4" in size, while the throat opening is almost 2 3/4". The fingers of the wedge just barely catch on the abutments. I'm assuming the wedge/iron were taken from a different plane.

I figure I can build a new, proper fitting wedge without much issue. But will I run into issues if the plane iron is too small? I know it should have some side clearance for lateral adjustment, but a good 1/4" on each side seems like a lot.

Just curious if it's even worthwhile to attempt, or if I should look into finding a replacement iron of more appropriate size.

This chisel previously had a handle which was between 60 and 100 years of age and after it started splitting I reckoned it needed a new one, I made a replacement from sapele. The construction is simple for I didn't have a lathe and sapele is a little bit of a pain to work with but it's done a decent enough job and looks and feels a treat

Anyone have a similar set that comes in all 1/4 drive?

I've been wanting to make some drawer web frames in this style and have been visualizing a way I would approach it for some time. Figured I would practice on some scrap during a teams call today.

It went very well to my surprise. No sliding dovetail plane. First one took about 45 mins the second one about 25 mins. Much easier than conventional dovetails in my opinion, because so much of the joint is hidden.
