Handplane my wife bought me

[Jonathan Shively]

Last Sunday morning Lou and I went to a swap meet. Kind of like a Flea Market except it accepts animals, guns, and all things in between for sale. I did buy Lou 20 - 10 week old pullets so when I was looking at a plane, she dickered with the guy and bought it for $25.00 (got him down from $40.00). Now, I am not a handplane guy. But I know this is different. Don't know if it is old, but hopefully you people can educate me on this. What is its correct name? Is it a rabbit plane? Did she get as good a bargain as I thought she did?



First picture is of the irons that came with it and its wedge.

Second picture is of the plane upside down.

Third picture is of one of its sides.

Another shot of the irons and the plane.

Plane on end.

Plane and its other side.

Oh, oh. You sent the invisible ink pictures and I didn't see them soon enough.

 

[Jonathan Shively]

No pictures? They are in my post here.

 

[Tom Niemi]

Sorry Jon, no pics here either...

 

[Bill Satko]

No pictures for me either.

 

[Jonathan Shively]

Well, I went back and they were gone!!!!!!!!!! Now we'll see if they stay where they belong.

Very odd. I see the thumbnails, but clicking on the pictures gives me an invalid attachment.

I get them now John.
Neat old Plane..

Third or fourth time is the charm? Man, has it been that long since I posted photos? Brent, is that better now?

 

[Wayne Eikenberry]

That is a plow plane and I think she stole it!

 

[Rob Keeble]

I would say i would make Lou my business manager and chief haggler with proof like that.
Have no idea how to use that plane but it sure looks cool and must be a collector hope others will chime in on that side. Nice score Jonathan or should we say Lou Ann.

Looking good now.

Just a tip, I don't know how you were uploading photos, but there are a couple of ways to do it.

This is the easy way... http://familywoodworking.org/forums/showthread.php?35378-Upload-files-the-Easy-way

Great score, Jon! (And Lou!) Even if it never gets used, it's worth the price in coolness factor alone.

Couldn't open the pics. They did funny stuff to my 'puter.
But, small pics look good. Congrats, enjoy.

Plow plane? For cutting dados and rabbits?

 

[Ryan Mooney]

For $25 you can laugh all the way out to the shop and back. Fantastic steal, I mean deal..

 

[Roger Tulk]

The plough plane is used for cutting grooves. I suggest you put it in a special place on your mantel, and cut your grooves with a dado blade or router bit. Much faster and with less profanity. I have a couple of rabbet planes that I use to clean up a rabbet or deepen one slightly. I cut the rabbets on a saw.

Getting an invalid folder link error when I click on the embedded pics. The thumbnails work fine.



I have posted to the admins about it.

I have come to the conclusion it is because I used Lou Ann's DELL instead of my APPLE to try to post pictures.

Yeah, Something went wrong with the first set of pictures on Johns post.

Take a look at the second set of pictures in Johns post.
