Looks like a Stanley 358 but the placement of the pat dates are a little different from other '04 ones I've seen.

Me too. I did it once when I first got my RAS and was getting used to what it can do. I decided I wouldn't do it again.
I like that knife! Looks like project #1 :D
Oh thats right, thanks for the reminder.
Yup I do turn as well. Never considered making a turning tool or two from them. Pics would be great. :)
While cleaning out some old cabinet space i found a set of old jointer blades from an old 4" electric jointer I used to have. Any ideas on re-purposing them to a usable tool? Would they be to thick...
The big 3 used to be "everything under one roof" sorta places. I have a Montgomery Wards 9x36 metal lathe(Logan) made in 1946. :D In fact if I recall right, my 10ER Shopsmiths were originally...
Your right that is an interesting video. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for posting the direct link. Nice to sort of get an "inside" view sometimes.
I have decided that I need to invest in some decent bench chisels, just tired of my cheap generic plastic handled crap. Just being a hobbyist I can't justify L-N on my budget so I am doing a bunch of...
Thanks for the replies and feedback. I hadn't planned on using the double ended rippers especially since they will be given to a couple kids who are still learning a lot.Ralph- I think I will play...
I was looking into making a couple of seam rippers for some friends. I see there are a few options, one is to use one bought from a local store and basically "adapt" it to a new handle. Or I can pick...
I have 2 of those old cast iron tanks! One I reconditioned, converted it to a variable speed DC drive and use it as a dedicated lathe. The other is either a drill press or a horizontal sander. I have...
All I can say is.....Wow.:)
Not meaning to hijack but since we are discussing sharpness...
While I was playing around with the #5 I also was playing around with my #4. This is some curly Maple with an original iron in my...
I have found that after I stumbled onto my first decent old plane, I really enjoyed the learning that came along with it. I'm not a full hand tool type guy, I do like my power tools too but there is...
A few years ago I took a temporary job hauling for an overnight delivery service that runs the upper mid west region(non union shop). I hauled from the my local to the main dist center and back every...
Yeah I wasn't going to start with that but thats what I would like to eventually do. I'll check out your site Mike. Thanks!
DOH! I forgot to mention that. For starters I would like to try my hand at making some "claw & ball" table legs. Seems really advanced from a guy who's never done it but thats what I eventually want...
I've had an interest in carving for a while now but the list of things to get to never seems to let me get serious about it. But, this coming weekend there is an estate sale a few miles away in which...
A very cool assortment of family history. :) When those tools start to sing, you may find that it will make a connection between you, your Grandfather, and your Great Grandfather. Hard to put into...
I was curious when I first saw it at the sale how the saw was as he had a board milled and strapped to it to protect the teeth. While not razor sharp, I did try it out on some scrap 6/4 oak and it...
I know exactly what you mean, this happened to be a rare occasion for me. :p What really surprised me was that the prices were reasonable and the sale was being run by an estate liquidation company....
Haven't been around much lately but thought I would show what followed me home yesterday. Found an estate sale yesterday a short distance from me. The owner was/is quite the craftsman and most...
Thanks David I'll check it out.
