STANLEY 102 BLOCK PLANE CONVERTED INTO A BEDROCK STYLE PLANE5-1/2" LONG , 1-11/16" WIDE , 1-5/16" WIDE CUTTER
THE BODY WAS STRIPPED THEN SEVERAL COATS OF FINISH ARE APPLIED TO ULTIMATELY COME UP WITH A VERY THICK AND DURABLE FINISH WHICH IS THEN BAKED ON AND CURED WHICH TAKES 7 TO 10 DAYS. THE TOP OF THE RAILS WERE FLATTENED TO GIVE IT A BEDROCK LOOK. THE ORIGINAL PUSH PIN WAS REPLACED WITH A 1/8" BRASS ONE. THE FRONT KNOW IS HELD IN PLACE WITH A TREADED STUD AND A STANLEY BARREL NUT WHICH HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN TO FIT. I TURNED DOWN A NUT THEN WELDED IT TO THE FRONT WHICH THE STUD TREADS INTO. ITS VERY SOLID.THE TOTE HAS A STANLEY BARREL NUT ON THE TOP ITS JUST FOR COSMETICS. THE TOTE IS HELD IN PLACE BY A LARGE BRASS SCREW WHICH COMES UP THROUGH A COUNTER SUNK HOLE IN THE SOLE. THE TOTE ALSO HAS A GROVE CUT INTO THE TOE WHICH SILES IN-BETWEEN THE CUTTER RAILS.THIS KEEPS THE FRONT OF THE TOTE FROM MOVING. THE LEVER CAP WAS MADE FROM A VINTAGE CAP WHICH I CUT DOWN THEN SHAPED AND POLISHED. ITS A VERY STRONG CAP. THE TENSION SCREW COMES FROM A STANLEY 112 SCRAPER PLANE. WORKS EXCELLENT.THE CUTTER IS FROM A STANLEY 102. I SHAPED THE TOP OF IT TO LOOK LIKE A LARGER CUTTER.STILL HAS THE STANLEY MADE IN THE U.S.A ON THE TOP. CUTTER HAS BEEN LAPPED AND SHARPENED. THIS IS A GREAT LOOKING PLANE THAT WILL MAKE A SUPERB ADDITION TO A COLLECTION OR WORK SHOP.
I HAVE BEEN RESTORING PLANES FOR 25 PLUS YEARS AND MY NUMBER ONE GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO PUT OUT A HIGH QUALITY PLANE THAT WORKS EXCELLENT AND A TOOL YOU CAN BE PROUD TO ADD TO YOUR WORK SHOP OR COLLECTION.
