While Bill doesn’t get specific about the hours involved; you can easily read between the lines, and see there is a considerable effort by Bill and the other volunteers who help him JH Disposing of Your Tool Collection By Bill Racine Now here is a subject that we will all have to think about sooner or later. I have been asked to describe the procedure our Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors club goes through in disposing of collections offered to us. I hope this narrative will answer many of your questions and perhaps give you inspiration. I am sure you wonder what exactly will happen to your tools should you choose to use the club to dispose of them; this narrative is here to help you with those questions. At our regular meetings, we often have auctions of tools donated or entrusted to our club for disposal. This gives members and non-members an avenue for disposing of their collection and having it go to others who want and will appreciate all their collecting efforts. I am often called when someone is interested in letting go of their tools. If that person or estate is in the Portland or surrounding area, I will go to them to see what they have and let them know the best way of handling their collection. If the tools are in the Seattle area, there are members there to do the same. If it is determined that an auction is the way to go, I will pick up the tools—which I can always use help loading and unloading those boxes—and bring them to my place, PNTC’s usual Oregon meeting location. This usually takes a whole and sometimes be it a very long day. I then lay out all the tools on tables, arrange them into about 50 to 75 lots per auction, and tag them with lot numbers. This takes any many hours over two, three, even four days, depending on the number of tools. Lots consists of one tool or a group of tools—depending on their value. After all the organization is completed, I write a manifest describing each lot. After carrying all the lots upstairs, I then store them until laying them out again for preview by members early on the day of the auction. This takes hours and hours again. 13 Our club’s auction team from then on runs the show. Our computer team records the prices realized, makes a manifest showing those prices, and the final total is then printed out. That evening after the meeting I take the totals and deduct the club’s commission (15% for members and 20% for non-members). I immediately write a check to the seller and send it along with a copy of the manifest showing the realized prices. This and other loose ends take up another two hours. When a member’s larger collection auctions for over $10,000, from that mark on the club’s commission drops to 10 percent. PNTC does not dispose the larger tools such as drill presses, table saws, radial arm saws, etc. Please note: In picking up a seller’s collection, I am always in need of help in loading and unloading the boxes. If you have questions, I may be contacted at (503) 628-1488. Our club is happy to help. 14 JUNE 2019 SAM HILL ESTATE AUCTION Lot# Description Price 3751 Bedrock 606C $70.00 3752 Stanley #29 transitional $25.00 3753 Stanley #8 $50.00 3754 Atkins mitre box saw $10.00 3755 Four #101 size block planes $40.00 3756 Gay's & Oak Leaf $15.00 3757 Disston #7 saw $24.00 3758 Stanley #6 $20.00 3759 Stanley #4 $30.00 3760 Wards #45 w/ irons $70.00 3761 Yankee brace $24.00 3762 Capitol saw works $20.00 3763 Swan hollow auger IOB $50.00 3764 Stanley #140 $55.00 3765 Stanley #45 $90.00 3766 Stanley #112 $90.00 3767 Stanley #4-1/2 $45.00 3768 TD take-down square $30.00 3769 Stanley #40 $40.00 3770 Bedrock 608 $105.00 3771 Bedrock 607C $50.00 3772 Bedrock 605-1/2 $120.00 3773 Keen Kutter #5C $35.00 3774 Smoothing plane $110.00 3775 Small razee $90.00 3776 Stanley #90 $45.00 3777 Stanley #92 $70.00 3778 Stanley #79 w/ fence $40.00 3779 Two small brass planes $40.00 3780 Trammel points $25.00 3781 Greenlee screwdriver IOB $25.00 3782 Cook's patent level $35.00 3783 14" drawknife $30.00 3784 Millers Falls #88 fence $15.00 3785 Stanley #386 fence $30.00 3786 Bailey Victor

  • Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting
    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face

  • Build a Plane That Cuts Smooth and Crisp Raised Panels With, Against Or Across the Grain – the Magic Is in the Spring and Skew

They differ only in the I’ve studied panel-raising planes spring angles (the tilt of the plane off made circa the late 18th and early 19th vertical) and skew of the iron (which centuries, including one made by Aaron creates a slicing cut across the grain to Smith, who was active in Rehoboth, reduce tear-out). The bed angle of the Smith plane is 46º, and the iron is skewed at 32º. Combined, these improve the quality of cut without changing the tool’s cutting angle – which is what happens if you skew Gauges & guides.

  • Bevel-Up Smoother Plane
    Bevel-Up Smoother Plane 05P36.01 Patent Pending The Veritas® Bevel-Up Smoother Plane is a state-of-the-art smoothing plane. We have combined the generous width and weight of a dedicated smoother with the versatile inner workings of a low-angle bevel-up plane. The 12° bed angle, coupled with the 38° blade bevel, yields an effective cutting angle of 50° that is commonly known as a York pitch. The bevel-up blade confi guration means that simply increasing the blade bevel results in higher cutting angles, thereby enabling the working of diffi cult grain patterns. Weighing in at just under 5 pounds, with an exceptionally low center of gravity, this plane is dubbed 1641/2H. The coffi n-shaped body has a sole length of 10". The 21/4" wide blade is 3/16" (0.187") thick and made of A2 tool steel hardened to Rc60-62 and it is common to both this plane and the Veritas® Low-Angle Jack Plane. The body is fully stress-relieved, ductile cast iron. It is accurately machined and the sole is ground fl at. It features an adjustable mouth that can be closed to a narrow slit for fi ne shavings with minimum tear-out or opened for heavier cuts. All of this can be done quickly and accurately with the front locking knob and the unique mouth adjustment screw/stop. The adjustment mechanism, with its combined feed and lateral adjustment knob, makes blade setting easy and accurate. The set screws on either side of the blade prevent it from shifting in use, but allow full lateral adjustment.

  • High Angle Smoothing Plane Comparison
    High angle smoothing plane comparison By Lyn J. Mangiameli June 2002 (PDF conversion by Peter Williams) Well, this is finally it. What will follow in several parts is the high angle smoothing plane investigation I have been working on for over a year. I’ve done about all I can to make it thorough and objective, but no project of this nature can be entirely either. Because of that, I’m going to try to put forward as much information as possible, that way you will know why I did things, how I did things, and what are the specific findings obtained. If you want, you can use the techniques presented to conduct evaluations of your own, and I intend to suggest some investigations that may be worth doing in the future. By posting the background first, any questions as to how things were done, or why things were done can be understood before the plane rankings are presented. Lyn Introduction: This review is different from my earlier plane reviews that have focused on the design, ergonomics and quality of manufacture in addition to the surface the plane could achieve. In this review, there were only two primary objectives: To determine if high bedding angle planes, as a group, tended to perform better than standard angle planes on difficult to plane woods (i.e., should you obtain a High Angle plane if you work with difficult hardwoods that are prone to tearout, fuzzing, etc.); and, more specifically, to find which planes and/or plane configurations yielded the best surface on particularly difficult to surface woods.

I think it would be safe to say that I was inspired. However, designing a workbench that is inspired by a Shaker icon can be intimidating as well. I had to do justice to the original and keep in mind what might be considered acceptable. Luckily, most are aware that the Shakers were quite accepting of new technologies that could be practically applied, so this did allow a fair amount of leeway in regards to using more recent workholding devices on this bench. In the end, I did want the look to be very representative of the Shaker Ideal. “‘Tis a Gift to Be Simple” is an over used Shaker pronouncement, however I often think it’s meaning is misinterpreted. I believe it means having freedom from making things unnecessarily complicated.

  • How to Making a Coffin Smoothing Plane By
    How To Making a Coffin Smoothing Plane By: Gary Mercer April 2016 From a block of wood that was used to bind loads on a semi-trailer into a Coffin Smoother Plane. My way of making this plane is loosely based on the design by Caleb James. A free download of his design is available at his website: http://kapeldesigns.blogspot.com/2013/04/wooden-smoothing-plane-plans.html Make it Square I began with a block of wood that measured about 3”x 3” x 14”. I jointed two sides square, then sawed the other two sides square on a table saw using skim cuts, then squared each end. Start the Layout I scored a line at the center of the length all the way around the outside using a square and a knife (the length of my wood was 12-3/4” so the center is located @ 6-3/8”). …Sorry about the bad photo. I selected the bottom and the toe based on the wood grain and marked it on the wood. I also marked a centerline on the end I sawed the board in half down the length. If the two halves are not exactly the same width don’t panic…They will be corrected later after they are glued back together. I am using a Woodriver V3 no.3 bench plane blade from woodcraft, which is 1-3/4” wide, so I will make 2 angle cuts into each half 7/8” deep, to house the blade. Cutting the Bed Angle (Left Side) Set the table saw blade to 7/8” above the table (half the plane blade width).

    CARPENTRY INTRODUCTION Wood is an important engineering material that is extensively used in the buildings and industries. ‘Timber’ is another name for wood, which is obtained from exogeneous trees. “Wood Working” means processing of wood by hand and machines for making articles of different shapes and sizes. It is further divided into two groups; (1) Carpentry (2) Pattern making. Carpentry is the common term used with any class of work with wood. Pattern making deals with the type and construction of wooden patterns. Steel Rule Four fold rule Flexible tape Blade Try square Stock List of Tools I. Marking and Measuring tools 1. Pencil 9.

  • Basic Plane Blade Sharpening
    BBASICASIC PPLANELANE BBLADELADE SSHARPENINGHARPENING We get a lot of questions about sharpening. Woodworkers have strong, often confl icting, opinions about the right way to sharpen. We’ve taught many beginners to get a razor edge in minutes, using a simple method that gives reliable results. Here it is. A sharp edge is the intersection of two polished surfaces, so you need to work both the bevel and the back of the blade. FForor tthishis mmethodethod yyouou wwillill nneed:eed: •1000 & 8000 grit stones, or equivalent.* •Side Clamping Honing Guide •6” Ruler, approx .020” thick •Protractor •Wet/dry sandpaper – 120-220 Grit * Stones must be fl at. If your stone is used, please refer to the “To Flatten Your Stones” section. BBasicasic TTechniqueechnique (with blade in decent condition) Lie-Nielsen blades are delivered ground fl at, with a bevel of 25°. Other blades, especially old ones, may need work on the back and bevel on coarse stones fi rst to establish a fl at, straight surface. 11.. Set blade bevel down in honing guide at 30° using a protractor. Note: If you record the length the blade projects from the front of the honing guide, then you can re-set it next time to the same angle without the use of the protractor. An easy way to do this is with a simple stop block attached to a small piece of plywood or MDF: Stop Block Bench Top Stop 22.. Hone on 1000 grit until wire edge/burr forms on back of blade, about 4 strokes pulling blade towards you. Distribute wear ev e n l y by using the full surface of the stone.
