Ciao, Nice finds! The chariot plane is delightful. Good restoration job on both as well!

Yes, it weighs exactly 2 kg, and its weight is helpful.

Thanks, It does. You can see it in action in this video at 4:25. Sorry, the audio is in Italian, but English subtitles are available.

Thank you very much. I wasn’t familiar with the steampunk style. You’re right; it does slightly resemble a steam locomotive.😂

Hi all, I would like to share a plane I recently built. Fascinated by the beauty of these planes and aware of their rarity and cost, I decided to build one myself. The woods I used are terebinth (enough similar to olive wood, native to the Mediterranean region) and mahogany. Regards Giuliano

Good job on rehabbing this old tool: The blade needs to stay securely in place, so a tight fit into the wood is required. Well done!

I don’t know; I don’t have it. It’s a picture I found online. However, a properly set cap iron could compensate for the wider mouth, so first, you need to find the right plane configuration. Additionally, you could close the mouth with a wooden patch.

Ciao from Italy, Here, as in France, there are examples of wooden planes where the wedge is positioned between the iron and the cap iron. Perhaps your plane is one of these, with an incorrectly replaced wedge. Regards

Ciao, it seems a disperate case. I would put it away or you could reuse the metal parts for making a new one. Giuliano

They are stunning! Ciao

Ciao, Beautiful tool chest. Has it only those two tills? I love it although I would have saved the original ropes instead of new handles. Giuliano

I use both the low and standard angle block planes, the low angle one mainly for end grain on small pieces. I have got a Stanley 9 1/2 and 60 1/2 planes. I agree with Dr AI: if I wanted only one plane, I would choose a low angle plane with a couple of blades in order to obtain different...

Really a nice plane! Giuliano

Thanks Yes, the chisels are from Lidl, not bad although they need a more frequent sharpening. The milk paint dries within several hours, depending of course from temperature. I waited 24 h before oil application.

Thank you, I agree with you. I intended this "Italianist":giggle: tool chest for a stationary use as if it was a little cabinet, to be moved outside the shop only in occasional events, for example to work in other places for a time period. The tools contained into the chest are sufficient for...

Thank you I think it weighs 30-40 kg. I am able to lift it but not easily.

Thanks, I always use pinch dogs while gluing up panel under 1 cm of tickness. I’ll try your suggestion, it seems to me rigth.

Grazie Cassidy, Sì sono seghe di tipo giapponese, quelle che uso più spesso. Saluti

Thanks, since the project phases my intent was to occupe all the space available.

Thanks Ian, Absolutely I would keep it under the bed:D
