Gloat!

[Routermonster]

Hi Guys

I rarely gloat, but I received a small birthday package from Phil last weekend, and I felt that it was unfair not to share some pictures with you.

Here are some photos of my new panel raiser. Phil has made it using a particularly nice piece of rosewood (SWMBO quote: "That's a nice lump of wood. What is it?").

I have buffed up the original wax finish applied by Phil, and have added extra to the sole. It's now got a lovely sheen. Note the 'Philly Planes' logo just visible on the nose. The photos don't do it justice.

Needless to say, the blade and nicker as delivered were razor sharp, just needing a final polish. Given my lack of experience with wooden planes they work very well. I've been trying it out on some scrap and am still getting used to adjusting the blade, but I'm getting there. I'm looking forward to trying it out on a real project ....

It's great receiving a tool that's been specially made for you! Thanks Phil!

Hi,

Very nice plane.

You need a plane adjusting hammer to get the best out of it and not to cause any damage.

Time to change your name to Planemaster?

Adjusting hammer? I think Philly sells them too. :lol:

As for renaming me 'Planemaster' - I think there are plenty of other forum members more deserving of that title (e.g Paul Chapman, jimi43 .....). :shock:

I think I'd better duck now.

Hi Guys

I received a small birthday package from Phil last weekend,

Wow, he's sending them out as Birthday pressies. Top bloke.

Mines easy to remember, it's New Years Eve... Can't wait, not too fussed what he sends but a Chamfer Plane would be nice.


:lol:

Dec 21st for me, so does that place me ahead of you in the birthday plane queue? :lol:

Hmmmm? I guess so. Just so long as you don't get my chamfer plane.

Well, I didn't want to embarrass him!

Now, for those of you talking about Philly's chamfer plane, I had a go with one at Cressing Temple - Philly just happened to have on tucked away in the back! It's simple to set up and it works a treat - highly recommended. I want one,* but I'll have to wait awhile, since I've been buying "far too many tools" recently according to SWMBO.

Glad you're happy with your plane, Les! Enjoy!

And I've made note of all the birthdays........ :wink:
Cheers

That looks nice, Les 8) I've tried out Phil's panel raiser planes and they work really well.

Cheers :wink:
