Shop planes, abstraction planes, spokeshaves, and folding rules

It is only Fall, but I am getting the shop ready for Spring. I know! wishful thinking. And in looking ahead, there were a few tools I thought I might need, and wanted to ensure their condition to be optimal. While doing this preparatory work, I thought I would exhibit some of the tools piling up in the corners of the shop. Low and behold, in one of the parts bins(think 100 year old wall shadow box type) I found the "missing" folding rules. Of course, I immediately thought of David from "The Folding Rule" on the USNERDOC channel. I sure hope that the YouTube community places comments on the tools, especially if you have any specific knowledge. Also, I would be glad to do more closeup video and pics on individual pieces. Thanks for looking

Stanley Woodworking Tools Just Seem To Keep Going

!±8± Stanley Woodworking Tools Just Seem To Keep Going

Unfortunately today it seems as if the woodworking hand tool has very much become the second-class citizen in many tool shops around the world. It seems that more and more people are ready to use power tools such as table saws and band saws for carrying out those tasks that were once only done using hand tools.

Although power tools can be very useful, there is much that can be said for the hand tool as well. In fact one company that seems to keep going even in this world of power mad woodworkers is Stanley Woodworking Hand Tools.

The Stanley Company has been around now for more than 160 years and is familiar to people in more than 130 different countries across the globe. Certainly the name of Stanley Tools has been familiar to woodworkers and homeowners for all this time.

Originally the company was set up by Frederick T Stanley in New Britain, Connecticut to produce door bolts. But since it humble beginnings the company has now flourished into one of the biggest suppliers of locks, woodworking and hand tools that is easily recognizable around the world.

Certainly if you were to look in any good woodworking workshop around the world and not just a professional one you will find that they will have an assortment of various Stanley woodworking hard tools in their tool racks or boxes.

Certainly one of the most successful items that Stanley has ever produced is the Stanley Plane. Since the 1870's Stanley have sold millions of their cast iron hand planes much of which are based on patents that they purchased from Leonard Bailey of Boston, Massachusetts. They so perfected this tool that many modern day plane makers still use a lot of the same principals in their tools.

Since the first plane was manufactured the Stanley woodworking hand tool division of Stanley has purchased many other patents as well as entire plane manufacturing companies and have also continued to improve the design of their planes right up until the first half of the 20th Century.

It is because the Stanley company has been around for so long and are so well associated with the world of woodworking and producing such high quality hand tools that they seem to be able to compete effectively with power tools.

So when you are next considering purchasing some good quality equipment for your carpentry workshop then I would suggest that you look no further than buying some Stanley woodworking hand tools.

Electric Planers - Types and Origin

History

Most hand planes are categorized as either bench or block planes and have been around since Roman times.

In the early days, the most basic ones were made from wooden blocks with a rectangular slot cut across the centre for the metal blade to slot in. The blade (also known as the iron) was secured with a wooden wedge. Examples recovered from excavations at historic sites in various parts of the world indicate more "modern" methods of construction. Some of the Roman planes resembled modern planes, consisting of a wooden core wrapped in iron. Even bronze was used in some instances.

Leonard Bailey started producing a line of cast iron-bodied hand planes in the mid 1800s. The patents were later transferred to Stanley who, to this day, still manufactures the Bailey designs.

Modern hand planes are still made of very much the same combination of materials consisting of cast iron and wood with bronze in some instances.

Types of Hand Planers

Block Planers are used for smoothing and flattening uneven and curly pieces of timber. The blade is at a fairly shallow angle with an upward bevel. With their low blade angle, block planes are designed to shear off end grain, making them very useful for trimming and fitting

Bench (or finishing) planers are used for larger projects. Bench planes are similar to block planes and used for smoothing or flattening timber. However, the blade is fitted at a steeper angle with a downward bevel.

Pocket planers are used for one-handed speed cutting and trimming. They are small enough to fit in your pocket or toolbox. The blade can be adjusted or replaced simply with the turn of a knob.

Spoke planers (or shavers) are used for shaping edges and cutting rounded shapes in timber. They are useful for shaping chair legs and seats or curved templates. Cutters are replaceable and are usually adjustable for depth of cut and shaving thickness.

Trimming planers are slightly larger than a pocket planers and are used for detail planing as well as for the smoothing and flattening of smaller pieces of timber.

Types of Power Planers

The first power (air) planer was produced for the shipping industry during the First World War.

Hand power planers are great for adjustment of door edges and trimming of flat areas such as floors, decks and tabletops. They are sometimes referred to as edge or door planers.

Cordless hand power planers with power output of 14 and 18 Volts are now available, which makes them extremely handy for off site applications

The bench (or bench top) planer comes in two varieties. The thickness planer is used for smoothing rough timber or reducing the thickness of a board while the jointer is used for straightening the edges of a board.

The combination planer is a combination of a jointer and a planer, which is very handy for home use as it provides two functions on a single footprint.

The surface planer (push) is more of an industrial tool and is certainly not your average home tool. These are used for very large areas (floors and decks) that require more than what a belt sander can offer.
