question re stanley 6c frog?
#11
I have a type 14 6c with a frog that has the top broken. What other Stanley plane # frogs will fit and does it need to be a typre 14 frog?

13 will fit I think. I have a full set of 13's.
I'll see if I have any 14's left. I shed about 200 planes a few years ago plus most all of the parts.

Later models of Stanley No. 5-1/2 will work, as long as it is after the switch from 2-1/4" width to 2-3/8" width.....also, No. 7 planes are the same width, as is the No. 4-1/2

Both of my #6s  are Type 10s....No. 6, and No. 6c
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

thank you very helpful info

things seem to have changed a lot as intact planes seem to scarce for some reason

not many years ago #3 and #6 planes were not well regarded they seem to have found a audience.

Patrick's Blood and Gore trashed #6 planes, for no good reason IMO.  That was over 25 years ago; they make creditable jointers, and are great for flattening panels.  Much overlooked planes.

I kind of still agree with PB&G, I bought a No. 6 and never use it, I would sell it but then one day I'd probably just buy another one to not use.  For flattening panels I switch between my 5 and 8, and for jointing I use my 8 for everything except the occasional short/thin board, where I just use my 5 or even a 4.

I have both a No.6, Type 10...and a No. 6c, Type 10.    IF the work I'm doing fits that size of plane, I will use either of the 2.   Depends on how tired my arms are, whether it will be the Stanley No. 8, the Stanley No. 7c, or one of the No. 6 planes......sometimes, the Millers Falls No. 15 will get used.....other times either the No. 14, or the No. 11

Just depends on the size of the work being done, and how late in the work day it is.....

Sometimes just a Jack plane....
Cool
   
Sometimes a No. 7c will show up....
YMMV
