I sold a SS panel saw very similar to Andy's one recently, except the maker was T S Kaye, Hull. They were a cutlery maker. It had the same 'Finest quality Stainless steel Keeps an excellent edge' stamp. It had a stamp on the right side of the makers mark too, something about 'For beauty of...

1000 hrs work! Wow, that is impressive. Thanks for posting.

I've edited first post as suggested. After 8 days without any contact from the seller I think most people would come to a similar conclusion, I think ebays standards are to post within 2\3 working days. And it's not life or death but wether it's 1 pound or a thousand no one likes being ripped...

Thanks for the info on the plane dates Vann. Very helpful of you. Neither lateral lever has any words, just some sort of pattern I had a message from the seller saying that he'd underestimated the postage costs and that was the reason for the delay. A quick message to update me was all it would...

I'll give them a clean up, try to scape most of the paint splashes off, sand down and wax\oil the handles and generally make them look a bit more presentable. I'll leave any fettling for now, I suspect they'll cut just fine as they are. I hadn't heard off anyone sending the lever caps to be...

They are a 41\2 and a 51\2, both have brass adjuster wheels, one piece y shaped bit (can't remember name, sorry), tall front handles, 41\2 has rosewood handles I think and 51\2 has beech and brass fittings on handles on both. I guess the frog shape will put them at a decent age? Cheers, James

Pedder, it was that the item hadn't been marked as sent and no message from the seller either. I had messaged him a couple of times and got no response. But, I should have been more patient. The package was waiting by the back door when I got home today, was sent a couple of days ago. ☺ Thanks...

That's good to hear Roger, I did pay with paypal. I've only had good transactons on there before, including one or two with yourself for a great walnut awl and a marking knife-I use them all the time. It's a shame, I was hoping they'd clean up into good planes it looks like they both have the...

Just a quick note to warn any potential bidders, I won the planes as in the listing and paid, but the buyer hasn't sent items or been in touch. So if they are relisted-I'd avoid them. And anything else xxxxxxx is selling too. Edit: removed seller ID and link to listing. jij I've opened a...

Here's how I use mine. I'm not sure if it is a Record 61, the label had gone by the time I got it. It sounds like your Ingham style ones.

I picked up one of these recently for a few pounds too. I couldn't imagine how it was intended to be used, so I screwed a length on wood to the back at the bottom and sticking out at right angles, and use holdfasts to clamp that to the edge of the bench. I can then use it like a moxon vise. It...

Brilliant,. Thanks for taking the time to post and with so many great photos. I hope it becomes a regular user for you. James

Ah, Makes more sense now. Thanks Mike

Do you think the weight of the plane explains the rear handle? A sticky up one looks more comfortable to me. I don't imagine it would have been difficult to add one if it was wanted. James

Cracking job. Great to see some shavings. James
