Spent a lot of time today trying to get organized - putting some tools in more easily reached locations and generally trying to make things more convenient. When I got to my 78, remembered that the nickers looked as though they had never been sharpened.


Took the nicker blade off All 3 projections are much too thick to slice wood (having never been sharpened) and this brought up my question:


Did the vintage 78s come new with unsharpened nickers.? If not, maybe mine has never been used.


I sharpened one of the three nickers but did not have enough time to set it up completely and try it. I did , however ,run it along a piece of wood and the sharpened nicker cut a nice defining line in the wood.


It’s just one of those things I never got around to doing and really forgot about. It should perform better now and make a good partnership with my new LV Small Plow Plane.


Guess I just have too many tools - or at least more than I can use.
