Stanley No.45

[Mezzanine Rob]

Just had my first experience with Ebay, and have a No.45 on its way to me, waiting now with a degree of trepidation to compare between the photos and actual condition. Anyway my question is does anyone know if reprints or copies of the old users manual/ instructions are available anywhere?
Just as a side note I was worried just how easy the ebay thing is, i have a terrible feeling the slope you all refer to just got a lot steeper for me.

Regards

Probably find it on Alf's web site?

IIRC there's a guy on eBay selling reprints, if you want something to put on a shelf or read on the throne.

Or you could go mad and really start yourself down the Slippery Slope with a threefor. Only then you'd have to buy two more planes, 'cos you'd have the instructions for them, and not to use them would be a waste, right...?

Which is why I've never, ever dared to start using it.
