B&W planes
« on: July 14, 2019, 07:57:44 PM »
No, the other kind  =D
Combining 2 of my hobbies. B&W film photography of my modest hand plane collection.

Millers Fall #8. Closest I can date it is late '40s. It was my grandad's plane. It came to me in not quite usable condition. A little elbow grease and it cleaned right up and will take a very fine shaving.



Left to right - Stanly #60; Millers Falls #8; Stanly #4 from mid '30s; Wood River #4-1/2, new; Stanley #5C from early '50s and the big boy in the back is a Stanly#7 from the mid '30s. All of them except the #7 are functional and reasonable well tuned planes. The #7 will get that way sooner or later.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I was hoping for color photos of black and white planes.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?
