Title: B&W planes
Post by: RoadKingLarry on July 14, 2019, 07:57:44 PM

No, the other kind  =D
Combining 2 of my hobbies. B&W film photography of my modest hand plane collection.

Millers Fall #8. Closest I can date it is late '40s. It was my grandad's plane. It came to me in not quite usable condition. A little elbow grease and it cleaned right up and will take a very fine shaving.

Left to right - Stanly #60; Millers Falls #8; Stanly #4 from mid '30s; Wood River #4-1/2, new; Stanley #5C from early '50s and the big boy in the back is a Stanly#7 from the mid '30s. All of them except the #7 are functional and reasonable well tuned planes. The #7 will get that way sooner or later.

I was hoping for color photos of black and white planes.
