**SOLVED** Thank you all for most your valuable input. Since I had the Methylated spirit and a scraper, that was te solution I opted for and it worked wonderful.

Hello... I have tried to search for an answer for this as it seems something very commom for hand plane use - maybe me not having an English mothertongue has been part of that.. Currently I am working on a table top that I 've made of sticks of Norwegian Pine glued together. Now after the...

@ Wolfgang, There was no number on the cap iron. I made a mistake :oops: ; the stamped cap iron screw with the Steiner logo is on another plane I have. This one ( from your museum). There is no number stamped on that one either.--- :roll:

Wolfgang, It seems you are quite right.... I have been looking at the screw that holds the cap iron. I has some kind of graphic on it, but I couldn't make anything out of it. Then I saw this picture on the page "Kleines Werkzeugmuseum" That's what is on the screw. This evening I'll see if...

Here are some answers: There is no sign or whatsoever on the plane indicating who the maker is. On the back of the plane is stamped " 30 " indicating the with of the blade. The blade is 3 cm wide. That would be 1.18 inch or 1 3/16 ( I am not used to inches... I don't know if I am 100 %...

ahhh.. that's better. When you look at the 3rd picture you can see the plane you've bought even better. But... I dear to disagree. The iron "infill" ( where the blade rests ) is not present in that plane. The blade rests in a wooden bed.

Rob, Would that be the Rycotewood thread that is is marked sticky??? No pictures there of the plane we are talking about here... lots of pictures of a girl with an axe though :duno: :duno:

@ Derek: I'll measure the blade this evening. I don't think however that it is an ECE... there is no indication. ECE's current scrub plane has an hornbeam sole and no iron infill ( metal abutments ) @ Pedder : I'll see what I can do this evening @ BugBear : Yes, the sole Lignum Here is the ECE

I bought this plane at a flea market for under 1 £. I thought it looked quite good so I just grabbed it... for future use Now, when I'm looking at it I can't figure out what this plane is supposed to use for :shock: I have a faint idea, but I will not tell that yet. So here it is; a wooden...

I have purchased some AI chisels from Matthew, and also some CI Falls just to see and feel the difference. I'd like to try to get a full set of both over time I also have the AI "Dovetail set" from Matthew Cheers Mac

Thank you Rob, Very interesting indeed... With you referring to the "LN Block " I guess that, as to my question, secondary bevels also go for plane blades.? You just opened a great opportunity for me justify to have two sets of chisels, one for hardwood and one for softwood :shock: Your...

All, I have been reading about sharpening here on the forum ( and come to the conclusion that it is part religion and part fact ). My question: Is there a rule of thumb or maybe even a list as to what Secondary bevel ( if any ) should be on the different type of chisels and and plane blades...

Hi Alan, Might you plan on holidays in Denmark, then you're more then welcome to visit my place. As an alternative ( say the holidays go to Spain ) I can offer to answer questions you might have, and make pictures. Good luck with your book Cheers Mac

That is a nice looking project.....Thank you Alf As I wrote ate the start of this post; there is a wealth of information here. Thank you all. Mac ( who really needs an OWT router now)

Of course..... Silly me, why didn't I think of that :shock: Thank you for explaining, I'd never come up with that.. Very nice tool BTW. Who made it? Mac

Forgive my ignorance, but what does OWT actually mean? I have looked in my rather extensive dictionary but there is no mentioning of the word. Or is it an abbravation? Thank you, Mac ( who'll hopefully will acquire one handheld router this year )

Bugbear, I don't have neither tool you describe.... Otherwise this would have been the smartest, and quickest solution. Anyone have an OTW style hand router for sale ?? Thank you

Evergreen, Thank you for the tip, I'll keep that i mind.

I have been in all the shops in my area ( I do live far away from a major city ) but there was no holesaw in that diameter. It would also be a tad to little. but.. at last.. Victory!!! Thank you all for helping me with this. Btw, I am amazed how strong this thing is. Now I only have to open a...

Thank you all very much for your input. Yesterday ( Sunday ), a quick look in the inventory learned that I didn't have MDF scrap, nor didn't I have double sided tape and my expanding bit goes only until 45 mm, and not 76 as needed. So, with all the input given and the materials at hand I...
