Shop Project #6 Wall hung Plane Till

That’s neat solution. How is it fixed to the wall?

Thanks Jim, I used the French Claet method, just cut it a tad narrower than the width of the back so there is very little play and quite snug.

Looks great

Good to see you enjoyed your shop this weekend (some anyway) and were able to post this project. You’ve done a great job and it makes a fine addition to your shop—not only in terms of just display, but a fine storage solution. Craftsmanship looks nicely done and should provide a sturdy cabinet for many, many years. Really like the use of French cleats for hanging. Congratulations on a job well done and thanks for posting.

What are the jigs to the right of the cabinet?
Best thoughts,

Hiya David….I know I’ve been a stranger on here some, and emailing you, but chasing the elusive fish has taken up my time…..lol. It’s about to slow down as it’s getting too cold to go out….It was 21 this morning..too cold for my old bones now…....I have been in the shop a little here lately making a few small Christmas gifts…..I prolly be in there more now that winter is coming…So hopefully we can catch up…..Just wanted to say you did a stellar job on the planes till (?) Dang son….I didn’t know you owned so many….In your usual form as a craftsman…The shop is looking good, and really looks orginized, too…..Don’t forget about your old, fat amigo over the pond…...!!!

Nice work David! I noticed you label your boxes to prevent the ultimate dumping of the contents too ;-))

Thanks for the input fellahs –
Mafe & Dennis – the two jigs on the wall are just home made push throughs for the jointer.

Morning Amigo – yes I was wondering about the fishing in the Ozarks a pal of mine here has hung his rods up, too cold. His last venture was fishing for eels in the Thames, it was the first tie he had ever done it. he caught some big old boys, a littlle disconcerting to be honest. I wouldn’t like to face one in their domain.

BoB – thanks for the feedback, yes, once on the floor was “Oh deary me” the second time it was “Oh for beep beep beep sakes” Haven’t done it since!

thank you blueking :-)

David, a nice addition to the workshop. Are all your planes razor sharp? I spent about an hour and a half sharpening a stanley sweetheart plane this weekend and had it REALLY scary sharp. That being said, I proceeded to plane a piece of soft pine with a tiny knot and the edge got some nicks in it already. VERY FRUSTRATING!!
Are there different quality blades and do you know if the one I have is worth a darn? Thanks buddy

Hi Dennis you are welcome my friend, both you and Mafe are held in high regard by another LJ contributor. I feel it not proper to mention his (narrows it slightly) name, suffice to say he was very complimentary to you both on several aspects. Good for you.

Hi Pat, Long time no hear, I hope you managed to side step Sandy, I’m not sure if you are far enough East to have come into her path, I hope not.

I’m afraid I’m not by an stretch of the imagination an expert on hand planes although I am beginning to love them more and more. Some of the planes are lapped and sharp. I spent a couple of hours last week flattening the sole on a couple more and grinding the blade irons etc. Like you, I had one scary sharp only to take three little nicks out of the blade in the first couple of passes on some scrap timber. I think I may have to revise the micro bevel angle. It’s certainly a learning curve. Let me know how you get on with yours.

I wish I could say it never happened again after the labeling ;-))
