Wow, quite a set of planes there Thomas. mike

You’ve got a lot of planes! That is a very nice way to organize and protect them. Thanks for sharing this with us, Tom.

LOL. Thanks, Tom. Guess I am sliding already.

I’m puffing. I just flattened one side of a 12 1/4 inch wide Sapele Board 56 inches long and another 40 inches long. I used the #5 and the new Razee Fore Plane. Took about 20 minutes to get them ready for the planer. I found out I was old and fat and soft.

Tom, I would probably have needed to be removed from the shop in a wheelbarrow (or a gurney). I doubt that you are really any of those things (although perhaps a bit more so than when you were a young buck). And you’ve got a mind like a steel trap. Aging just isn’t a pretty thing, but the alternative is less attractive. I wake up sometimes wondering how I ended up with these white, scrawny old man’s legs under the pot belly.

Tom, very nice. Puts your tool within reach and view. It’s tough to get them all covered up when they are on the wall.

Yeah, Karson, but from the looks of the dust I’ve been trying.

Very nice tills Tom. Definately food for thought. I trying to figure out how I am going to set mine up for use.

Hi Tom:

Really enjoying all this “plane talk” the past few days from Betsy, Wayne, Mot and all the input. My direction in woodworking took me to their proper use and mostly to areas where “that tool will work for this”. My Block plane has shaved edges it shouldn’t but found it does those edges effectively and my bullnose plane has done the job of many planes. A new tool is only out of necessity and I usually find another way to build within my style. Don’s boxes have intrigued me enought to “hone up” my latent finer mixed tool skills.

I’m finding this plane talk very enjoyable….......Neil

So do we, Neil. Believe me I haven’t thrown out the machines, just using the hand tools to enhance the product. Usually it is something that is just difficult to do with the machinery. I heard someone in a magazine mention “Blended Woodworking”. My first thought was, ” What’s that?”. As I read on it occured to me that I just assumed that everyone did like I did and just used anything that worked. I can’t do without my planes and chisels but I don’t want to do with out my table saw either. Knowing how to do it with hand tools will help you do it better with power. After I learned how to plow with a team of horses I was able to plow better with a tractor.

Good set up Tom!

I have mine in a drawer, (or drawers I guess would be more accurate).

I may reconsider that.

Lee,
This way they are always in reach and on the mind. Can’t be forgotten when they are that close to your nose. LOL

And you can also see when one is missing!

Yeah, I loaned that one to my son-in-law. I think it’s fickle, it never came home.

-- Thos. Angle

Very Nice, Tom! I gotta make me some tills, too. I get tired of storing them under a bench, or hanging over anotgher. Nice wqay to keep them all organized, too!

BTW, I can see now why you invested in a Work Sharp system…..LOL

God Bless,

No way you keep all those sharp! I need to steal the design on a smaller scale! Nice collection. I’m more than happy to accept donations should you find you’re wall crowded!

-- Jeff, South Carolina

Jeff,
I use them all and yes, they are sharp. I have duplicaltes so that if one does go dull I can switch until I get the job done and can sharpen up. it doesn’t take long to sharpen all the plane irons and the chisels on the Work Sharp.

-- Thos. Angle

Wow, much better than what I made. I am about to rebuild, so I’ll probably ape your design.

THANKS!!!
