Have you considered Ray Iles - he's quite near to you.

hey Cheekyboy,

if you click the Edit button on your first post you could change "steal" to "steel" in the title, and then everyone will have a clearer idea of what the thread is about. I was looking for a joke about "thick as thieves" or something......

The first ever 'good' cutter I had was a Hock, in a Stanley scrub plane. I thought it was a girder when I saw it. Cuts like a sarcastic samurai.

Might be a bit thick for standard bench planes, though, so probably Ray Iles would be a better (as well as cheaper and easier) bet.

He now has a working website


For a #5/05 - £21 standard, £31 high performance.

make sure you get to speak to him on the phone, Ray really knows his stuff! I had a great conversation when buying my #7.

EDIT: Ive also got a Hock A2 blade in my #4 and I like that too.

If you are phoning Ray for a chat, allow a couple of hours! He's a lovely guy, very enthusiastic.

Call me old fashioned if you like, but there is a spell check box directly under the reply box,
I do think more forum members should use it. 8)
As Mike says it may go towards understanding what the thread is all about.

Use Firefox browser. You can download the inbuilt spell-checker, which highlights mistakes with a red-underline as you type. (Mind you it doesn't even recognise the word Firefox. So I'll add it to the dikshunarie!)
Right then. Time to go home from skule.

Cheeky boy

Sometimes the thicker Hock irons make it necessary to widen the mouth of the plane body, to give room for adjustment. Just thought you should know.

I doubt you'll be dissapointed! Did you got for the A2 or O1 blade? My A2 is excelent, takes as sharp an edge as I'm able to hone on it, lasts ages but honing can take a while.

EDIT: Seem to be suffering finger trouble this morning...

#-o Well spotted- Yes, that should be A2 / O1, not t'other way around. And in public too!

 

[cheekyboy]

Have gone for the A2 steel for my record 5 1/2 . But don't now what steel to go for in my two smoothing planes :?:

 

[Racers]

Hi,

O1 for smoothers easier to sharpen IMHO. I can do my O1 blades loads faster then on one A2, LN 60 1/2.
