And, have sharpened the factory edge of the iron on that Stanley No. 110 Bottlecap block plane ( chose it, over a Millers Falls No. 75, that was also there)

Sale was actually the second sale of the day..first one was just clothes, and nic-nacs
 
So...about that baggie...

Not sure why there was a letter stamp in there ( S ), and what holder for those two HUGE tips I' d...

Not too bad, for the first of the season....

That's a pretty nice haul for 6 bucks!

Nice hauls, but you don't get any points for the grandkid unless you post a picture of him/her.



You're no doubt aware that, if you find a suitable length of 5/16" rod of the right quality (like drill rod, for instance), you can grind a point on it and have a pair of 6" dividers, too.

I've never heard that type of block plane being called a "bottlecap" plane, but the name's sure right.  And, yes, smart move over buying a No. 75 paperweight rabbet plane of pretty much any brand.

hmmm...he's too busy with the X-Box...
but..

   
Large Flat Rate Shipping box...1/2 filled....

   
Been digging down through all these pieces, trying to find out what all is in here..

   
Work in Progress...

The Millers Falls No. 75 was a block plane that looked just like the Stanley No. 110......instead of a "bottle cap"....it had a lobed wheel.    Besides, I already had one in  the shop.

That letter stamp....

[attachment=27146]
Is for the letter "S"....not too sure about those two HUGE bits....others in the picture are 1/4" hex.  

Sale had quite a few metal toolboxes, some power tools, LOTS of hand tools.   

Still, not too bad, for the first of the season.....

[bandit571]

Alrighty....Stanley No. has been cleaned up, and the iron is sharp...

[attachment=27150]
Took a bit of "hammer adjust"....from Moxxon TP down to see through shavings....


There is a Millers Falls clone in the shop...
 
[attachment=27151]
Stamped in the left side...Millers Falls No. 75

Was putting the Stanley through it's paces, today..

[attachment=27152]
Seems some of the parts needed flattened...
[attachment=27153]
Resaws weren't quite flat....

Might be a decent enough block plane....for under $3?

[Bill_Houghton]

People think you have to have a fancy block plane with adjustable mouth and fine adjusters and all that...not always.
