interesting. I,m sure there,s a swiss company making planes with disposable blades. Gotta love those plastic handles.

Thanks for the welcome back. Working away from home for extended periods, and the company’s internet access rules has made my time on this website terribly restricted.

In another day or two I’ll post the door I finished two hours ago.

I still use one of these – I was given it by a friend when he moved to France and was clearing out. Mine was a little rusty but cleaned up well. The blades are still available – just search for Stanley RB10 blades. I find it to be an excellent tool and very useful. The blade opens right up to the edge of the plane and makes it ideal for rebating or lipping an edge. I know replaceable blades might sound a bit ‘not-quite-craftsmanlike’ to some, If you can’t fix it with a hammer you have an electrical faultbut if you have to take a plane to a job elsewhere and don’t want to lump an oilstone or other sharpener along with you, or if you hit a hidden nail and take a chunk out of the edge, they’re absolutely wizard!

I just inherited one of these from a previous house owner. It was hidden on a dusty shelf in the work room.
It took me seconds to take it to pieces but hours to put back together again!!!
THANKS to your photos, I eventually got the pieces in the right order.
It seems to be the DIY version of the old plane (a tool I never got to use easily) but, strangely, it works a treat. And maybe the replaceable blade is a good idea, despite its ‘amateur’ image.
PLANE ON!
