Just some planes restored #16: An unexpected Stanley #4 type 11

Gotta love that Don. Type 11s are my favourites.

Heh, Heh, heh, Andy, you spell favorites funny : ) (Or probably you spell it correctly and we spell it funny.)

Looks good Don. I also really like the type 11s. Again a job well done!

It was fixed because you gave it Love. LoL

Nice save

However the last shot says it all :)

Lukie – Yeah you guys are always dropping the ‘u’ out of words like favourite, savour, parlour etc. and replacing the ’s’ with ‘z’ in words like organisation. You miss the ‘i’ out of words like aluminium, yet you leave it in words like condominium. The strange thing is, even though Americans misspell so many English words, the way you spell them makes a lot more sense than the way we spell them. LOL.

Brit, we even leave whole syllables out of words like al-u-minium :)

Nice looking plane. I just finished refurbishing a Stanley Number 5 (made in USA), 4 (made in Canada) and 3 (made in Canada) and a Record (made in England) number five. Once restored and tuned they really are a joy to use.

The little badinage between y’all about the spelling and pronunciation of words in “English” and “American” reminds me of the time a guy from Trinidad jumped on me about our money and our spelling. He was speaking the “veddy propah English” to me, a southern redneck, and he just kept on and on, not letting it go, so finally my plate got full and I asked him if he was from Trinidad, why was he so uptight about it. He said that once, Trinidad and Tobago were English colonies and, even after they had won (or had been given) their independence, in his heart he was still “British”. That was my cue and I said, “Well, we kicked ya’ll’s asses over two hundred years ago for the right to talk anyway we choose. I have never claimed to speak “English”. I speak ”’Mericun”.
Veddy good show on the restore, Don. I love the way it looks and works.
Have a good’un

Very nice Don. Glad to see the crack be just a gouge… I still have to give the treatment to my T11 #4…

Looks great Don. You pretty much have this down to a science.

Sweet Don! Congrats on that, what a nice surprise about the crack.

Yeah Andy but when you guys pronounce certain words you drop letters. For example “cancer” is pronounced as if it was spelled “canca’” ending in an “a”. Bostonians do that to though, they drop their R’s.

Someone named Mark is called Maak. Lol. In Boston any way.

Rejo, lol.

Isn’t it nice having our British friends around educating us on these little differences.
