Work to do.. - bandit571 - 02-11-2024
First on the list..
[attachment=49778]
Needs replaced...new arm..
[attachment=49779]
Cut this 1x to length..then
[attachment=49780]
Plane to final size AND shape..test fit..
[attachment=49781]
Head was cleaned up..and a new flat was sanded where the thumbscrew goes...was easier than buying a replacement bolt of the correct size, thread and length..
Old pin was FUBAR..
[attachment=49782]
Bent and corroded..would just snap off IF I tried to re-use...so..
[attachment=49783]
Made a new pin, drilled a tight hole and hammered the new pin into place...
[attachment=49784]
Add a coat of Witch's Brew Stain, wipe it down...and call it done...Pin has been sharpened up, as well.
Unable to scroll saw a replacement for..
[attachment=49785]
Plan B.
[attachment=49786]
I made a simpler version. Will go back later, add a few pin/screw to the brass, then file it flush...
These are both Stanley No. 77 Mortise/marking Gauges...
[attachment=49787]
They do need their points a bit sharper, though...
RE: Work to do.. - bandit571 - 02-11-2024
On those Stanley heads, there is a brass strip that the thumbscrew tightens against....instead of digging a groove into the arm...
[attachment=49788]
Like on this Stanley No. 65. However..the No. 77 heads are missing theirs...so
[attachment=49789]
Tin Snips to cut a strip of Brass to rough size and length...Grinder to final width...clamp the strip into place,,and hammer bend the "tabs" into shape...
[attachment=49790]
Need to repeat for the other sliding head...I did remove the strip for a quick grind to shape the tabs better...
Which leaves..
[attachment=49791]
These Pine scraps...that have been mostly ripped down from a very NASTY 1 x6..
[attachment=49792]
I cut out all the trouble making knotty areas...and since the 1x 6 was cupped..ran the saw right down the center.
Boards are still 3/4" thick...and a bit too thick to make small boxes with...we have ways..
Tools..
[attachment=49793]
Cut-offs?
[attachment=49794]
Thins, for dividers and trays?
Pile #1
[attachment=49795]
And pile #2...
[attachment=49796]
Each has 4 sides at around 1/2" thick...plus there was a couple I could not run through the tablesaw..
[attachment=49797]
That maybe I can resaw into parts to go around a lid's panel?
Stay tuned..

Holy crap, Bandit! Have you shown how you process trees tree limbs into fine furniture?

All I have around here, is a Tulip Tree from the Neighbors...as all the dead limbs seem to fall into my backyard...none worth using...
That Pine (whitewood?) 1 x 6 came from Lowes, BTW....was part of a stack I bought...the rest became sides and backs for Chest of Drawers drawers..
RE: Work to do.. - Arlin Eastman - 02-13-2024
I like it. I have a few that need work but scared to decrease the value since they are non users
RE: Work to do.. - bandit571 - 02-21-2024
Will start a new thread about that stack of Pine scraps....
This came home with me the other day...
[attachment=49938]
Rusty & Krusty? Price for this "Treasure"?
[attachment=49939]
Says $5? Bought it for $4 out the door...
[attachment=49940]
Upon further review...
[attachment=49941]
And way less than an hour in the shop...Knob is solid brass...Japanning is a glossy black..
[attachment=49942]
That rusty sole cleaned up nicely, and flat..
[attachment=49943]
Twins? One is a 60s Cordovan...the "new" one is a bit older...Stanley hadn't stamped the Model Number into the sides, yet...
So...$4 for an older Stanley No. 60-1/2 Low Angle Block Plane? You think I may have spent too much?
RE: Work to do.. - bandit571 - 02-26-2024
As for that rebuilt marking gauge?
[attachment=50035]
Almost twins?
Almost...
[attachment=50036]
Some slight differences...one is a bit of a Show-off, though..
[attachment=50037]
SW No. 65, actually..
Wonder IF I need to add a ruler's markings to the "New & Improved" version?
