hello,
I hardly post but read here alot and learned alot here. I was thinking on getting some extra marking gauges off of ebay as some of the older ones look really nice. I have noticed though that the pins in these gauges are worn out or not even there. I wasn't sure how to replace these if I choose to get one. Most of the time they are in the brass and I'm unsure if they are repairable.
On another note I have seen alot of transitional planes and would like to know how they are typed like the stanley bench planes. There is info on them on the web but I have not found any instruction on how to identify them by type. Thanks.
