Need a Stanley 40?


I stumbled across a podcast series that was a lot like peanuts, I couldn't
watch just one. (This probably says more about me than I want any
psychakesist to know)

They were all interesting, in their own way, then there was this one:

The really surprising thing is, it actually works.

Hey, a fun project for $9.99, who could resist, right?

I've got one of those planes. It did NOT work "right out of the
box" (except as a paper weight). The blade has a back bevel that will
require grinding an eighth inch or more from the end. Not having a
good way to do that properly (accurately), I just used thge blade to
learn how to use my Veritas sharpening guide. The hold-down cap is
another problem, but for $10 plus tax (gotta look for more discount
coupons!), it's not worth taking back.

I did the same thing with a Buck Brothers plane I got from Lowes. Tuned up
and blade reground. Tried it out. Works great, or so it did 15 years ago.
It's been sitting on the shelf that long.

Dan, read the post!!

Of course it does not work. But the modification does, and THAT is what the
post was about.
