Show off the Jointers, anyone interested?

Whether it be a lowly #6 small jointer

or an #31 woodie

Homemade, or brand new. Lets see the big guys!:D

[Mike Holbrook]

You skipped fore planes, so I posted both: From left Stanley #6 (Veritas PM-V11 blade), Blum 17" Fore Plane (Mesquite), Veritas BU Jointer, Purple Heart Jointer I am working on (26.5"). The front handle is from a piece of Ash I harvested from our property. The rear handle is in a nice tight mortise deep in the wood, which gives it the feel of a Razee without the tapered rear section.

307641307647 Here are a couple of 424 Sargents. The first is a type 2 (1891 - 1901), which is missing a fair bit of japanning, but is otherwise pretty good. The second is a 424c Sargent VBM plane (1907 - 1918). I did not need this plane, but the price was right, and the condition is excellent. Most of my planes are Sargents.

Hi Mike, The purple heart jointer hardly looks long enough ; )

[Zach Dillinger]

In this photo you can see the 30" curly maple jointer I made back in 2012. Silver inlay, overall very fancy. I'm not much of a plane maker but I was happy with this one.

I did just pick up this broken down, incomplete $3 try plane at an antique store over the weekend. This will be turned into a copy of a carved voorloper / proto reifschaaf (I want a carved front handle but voorloopers typically don't have them and this plane is too short to be a proper reifschaaf). I just need an iron for it.

307651

I don't have pictures of my other jointers... take my word for it that I have too many. :)

Here's my LN no.7. I love it. I had a type 11 Stanley before. It was a great plane, but the LN is definitely worth it's price tag.

[steven c newman]

My two "try" planes, as the DE6c is my Fore plane
307663
Newest one, with a new tote from firewood, and
307664
The #81. One is a single iron, the other isn't. When things get this big, I like them a little little then the cast iron ones..

[Tom Stenzel]

Admit it Steve- when you started this you were just dying to use the Jacks to Open line!.:)

My planes are what I refer to Stenzel's Collection of Rust, Antiques, Planes, Iron Relics and Other Niceties. No pictures of most, not worth the electrons.

My #7C was a Craiglist find. When I called to see if it was still available the guy said, "The one I lowered the price on?". Well, of course that must be the one. When I saw it the tote was broken. The iron that he said was really sharp looked like it had been dragged over a bad sidewalk. Still I paid the asked 8 dollars:D, took my 'new' plane and went about my business (as we would say at work).

Turns out that it had been fettled once and whoever did it knew what they were doing. Since then it had fallen on hard times. I patched the tote with some apple from a cut down tree. Cleaned the rust off the bottom, sharpened it up. The rest of the rust I plan on removing the old fashioned way - by using it.

The cutting board was the first project I did with it. The maple and walnut boards where jointed full length, then cut into pieces for the glue up. Granpa's 80 was also used so it got to come along for the ride.

Ward Master 6, Bailey 6, 6C, & 7, 606, 607, R. Mosley &Son/London 2-1/2" x 22", A. McKenzie/Aberdeen 2-1/2" x 22", and a Steve Knight 2" x 24" (the third of a set...Mike Holbrook has the other two). All are in working order, but the 607 sees the most work...as a shooting plane.

[Bill Adamsen]

The Keen Kutter #6 corrugated, which is sharp and works great.
The LN #62 Low Angle Jack. No complaints.
The 27-1/2" wood jointer. Blade and wedge are something my father made ... could improve, but I like it the way he left it.
The close up of the blade is of a Weldon blade ... not exactly a Jointer but a jointer with a very large concave radius. Not sure what it would have been used for, and I've never used it. My father amassed a sizable collection of wooden planes ... I keep telling myself I should tune them up and take 'em out for a spin!

[Jim Koepke]

Here are a pair of #6s. The one on the left is a type 4, the next is a type 9. A Sargent Transitional Jointer is next. The Stanley #7 is a type 7. Finally there is a pair of 8s. The one on the left is a type 6a. This is one of the types that fell through the cracks. The only foundry marks may be a little pimple or dot. It has the left hand threads on the depth adjusters like all types have after the type 6. The one on the right is an 8c. I call it my most expensive $5 plane. $5 was the original cost, but it came with a broken frog and missing a few parts. It is kind of on the back burner of things to do. You can see by the dust shadow on the back that it has been collecting dust while resting in a corner.

Alas, no time for a photo.

Stanley No. 8, low knob, on which all the japanning has departed (makes it lighter!). Keen Kutter No. 7, and late model Stanley No. 7 covered with silver paint, even on the frog bedding surface; those two are restorations to be done. Two Stanley No. 6 and a Wards Master No. 6, also in the restoration list.

I've been meaning to document my tools for insurance proof of ownership, this thread got me off my butt. Here are my #7 sized planes:

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh222/VTXAZ/planes7_zps55afcc32.jpg

From left to right: Another shop made beech stock with Hock O1 iron, A Record #7 with OEM iron, this #7 and the Record #4 were the first "good" planes I acquired back in the 70's, A type 11 Stanley 7C with a Woodriver iron.

My #8 sized jointer planes:

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh222/VTXAZ/planes8_zpsfb55a9e2.jpg

From left to right: LN #8 with OEM A2 iron, if I used it more it would have a Vertias O1 iron installed. a type 9 Stanley with Hock O1 iron, and best of all a ECE Woody with OEM iron that was picked up from Garrett Wade at about the same time as the Record planes.

Bedrock 607 roundside with Hock A2/chipbreaker. I just placed an order for a Lie-nielsen #8 this morning. Been saving gift cards for about a year and had to come out of pocket for it but Im pretty excited to see her!

Jim,

I may have a spare tote for the 8c.

Here's my Sargent 422C (the other plane is a Craftsman 559B). The dark grey color of the castings are because I used Phosphate paint prep to remove the rust. I polished the bottoms of the soles although the picture doesn't show that very well. Also, the planer actually takes a full shaving that's just a shaving from the edge of the board sitting in the mouth.

Rodger, the size of my Purple Heart jointer is "only" 26.5" long. I am still working on a top grip, that will hold my entire hand, visible in the picture. The wedge isn't exactly right yet either. I am still trying to decide which iron to use in it. I have two HNT Gordon irons but they are a little short for the jointer so I may use one of the Steve Knight blades which are a little longer. Maybe Tom can see why I bought only two of the 3 Steve Knight planes he had, although mine works I am still working on it. I'm not sure why Tom isn't posting a picture of the very nice Steve Knight Jointer? I posted the other two Tom.

[Derek Cohen]

That's a 36" long Jarrah jointer (with 3" wide blade) alongside a Stanley #7 (type 11).

i use a beech locomotive just like that...works great.

My jointer. The only one I have currently in finished,and long used condition. Have another I also made that just needs an iron. But,I haven't too much need for jointers. I used to take this one to the Book binder's Shop,and re flatten his plough plane outfit sometimes. The top of it would get concave from sliding the plough over it while trimming the edges of books.

This plane is longer than it looks due to the massive body with a 3" iron. Made from an old,turned from age brown maple bed post that I found in an attic in Wmsbg.,never finished. The extra dark brown color though, is experimental violin varnish I was making at that time. Cooked in the presence of iron to take on a brown color that can never fade. An unfinished Kentucky rifle is seen sticking out behind it.

[Roger Rettenmeier]

I think it was a perspective thing, since the purpleheart is in the front of the other planes. It looked more like Dereks . You even posted the length, I missed that.
