Hello,
I am trying to find out more about the Stanley hand plane I have. I have visited websites with a lot of information but I am still at a loss as to production date, etc.
Under the frog stamped on the bed is c 74 1/2, the frog has c 44 on the bottom and U 4 (vertically) on the other side. The lever cap/ chip breaker has 8 U on the bottom, and the blade has “Defiance, by Stanley, made in USA, No. 1205) on it.
Anyone have any suggestions for info?
Thanks,
Jeff

Today I squared off each end of the box and cut a base to size. Then I re-planed all four sides of the box and added a chamfer to the edges of the base assembly. I screwed the base assy to the box from below, countersinking two screws.Here is a picture before assembly:
Here are a couple of pictures after assembly and adding Danish Tung Oil:
After the Tung Oil dries, I will add a wipe on poly finish (Liberon). I don’t have enough wood left to make another Pen...

The desk is finally finished. My niece wants to stain and poly it herself so I’m done with it at this point. Back up to any of the other blogs for background info on this build.
The second picture shows the drawer open and the keyboard tray extended after the front cover is pulled down. A magnetic latch holds it in a closed position.
Next build: believe it or not, a pellet stove box to hold stove pellets, made to look like a couch end table. Hmm.

My customer really liked the documenting of my last project on this site so I’m at it again. This is a really big ( for me) cabinet for dvds. It’s dimensions are 82 high and 50 wide. Glass doors on top and solid doors on bottom. Sliding dovetails while I love the look and the strength are a pain in the ass. Just my opinion. Enjoy.the model drawing

Can I put pics in the blog? I’d like to share my project with you guys, but it would be better if you can see it. Let me know please.We were given an overflowing truckload of scrap hardwood a fellow woodworker who was moving to south america. A lot of it was t and g floor cut offs and most of the ironwood planks were stained half way down the length and most all of it was stock rejected due to imperfections. So I thought it was a great opportunity to hone my joinery skills and do someth...

I finally got the top to my new bench glued up and attached to the base. I ended up using dowel pegs to attach the top to the base. Doing this enables me to remove the top if I need to in the future, but holds the top to the base securely while I am using it. Take a look at the pictures to get a better look. I modified plans that I found to build this. The original plans are Bob and Dave’s Good, Fast, and Cheap Bench. You can find them if you Google the description. 90% of this...
