Old hand plane

Wood Composite material Hardwood Metal Aluminium


Finger Creative arts Wood Gas Thumb


Wood Art Gas Rectangle Metal


I recently purchased this old hand plane. I believe it is for making the tounges. Not 100% sure though. Does anyone have any ifo to share? Iron has Butch Sheffield on it and the plane has "W Copeland Warranted" on it. Any year range?

Take a look at this.

I'd say it's probably from them as I have seen reference to William Butch style Bowie knives, so it could be there's a mix up with his name, or he used both Butch and Butcher.
Good find !

Its a stick and rabbet plane for making sash. I have never seen one with a fence.
I have 2, one is fixed and the other is adjustable by screws.

Thanks for the pics. I went back and looked at the iron and the cutting edges aren't offset at much as yours. I will have to tr it out on some 2Ă—4's tomorrow, I'm ver interested in what the design will be. I'm also recieving a wooden jointer plane tomorrow in the mail. Play time tomorrow.

It seems the fence has been placed for a lefty; is it possible to place the fence on the other side?

Dave- thanks for all the links. they are really helpful. I had just received my big 26" plane in the mail today. The handle was pretty beat up. What types of wood do you use to do replacement parts?

Sylvain- already switched the fence to the other side. seems like it doesn't make a difference just have to take your shavings differently than being left handed.

Depending on the area of the plane. For a handle oak or harder. If its a sole I like jatoba or equal. Grain selection is most important.
