I know that Bristol Design did/do brass mouldings because the Prof has kindly shipped a lever cap to me for my Scottish infill smoother restoration...and a fine bit of brass it was too.

Question...do you recent visitors recall seeing the casting for a Lancashire Pattern shoulder plane like the one on Joe McGlynn's site only I am after making one in the next year or so?

If anyone knows a source of the basic casting then I should be most grateful.

Cheers

Jimi
 
Hi Jim

No, they never did go for broke on the complications of a Lancashire pattern casting, just a choice of panel plane, bullnose, several smoothers, chariot, thumb and mitre!

I don't think they have all those models left, and I've been told that they can't/won't be commissioning any more castings.

These pics are a few years old now; there might be even less choice:

Darn...I thought as much.

Ok..looks like plan B then...angle piece of bronze milled.

I will probably work out cleaner that way anyway.

Thanks for the response mate..I have to say that coffin smoother looks well cast indeed!
