Nice one 
Before any smart 'bottom' tells me off for putting the plane on its sole plate, the blade is not set when it's delivered in its case.
There's always one on facebook

Does putting a plane on a ship make it into a carrier?

OH DEAR

No Excuse, you do it without the blade , you might continue with it in, My Old Woodwork & Metal work teacher would have rapped my knuckles with a steel ruler, and that was in the 80's...

It was the 70’s for me 
But really it was only for the picture and not to be taken seriously Or U Vil B Taken out Und shot

  When my plane arrived not only was the blade not set but it was not assembled, just bits tissue wrapped in the posh box . Easily assembled providing you have not indulged excessively during the festive period and your fingers are not too fat.

My plane didn't arrive.
Too much snow Stanstead
Spent Xmas 1960 driving up and down 270 at
RNAS Lossiemouth on a Canadian Snow Clearer
just in case a Victor Vulcan or Valiant needed a
Diversion Airfield.

being a woodwork teacher for 22 years, you never put a plane down on its sole because ITS THE SOLE THAT GETS DAMAGED................you can grind a blade chip out.............you can't grind a sole out.............we ain't smart arssses......we just respect our tools........as my grand dad would say when he gave me my first Stanley smoothing plane in 1960........DONT BE A TOOL WITH A TOOL.


simples!!!.

so would mine,!!!.and that was in the 60's ........respect your tool, and it will give a lifetime of service.

[Colin Bishop]

Now there's a double meaning.....

A pair of 1/32 Lewis guns for the Ezebilt Terrier (x2) from gaspatch models - had to get hem myself though!

Neil when I was an apprentice I had been playing up a bit at work, so as a penance I was handed a deliberately broken in half surface plane.  I was told to braze it back together and then make it as good as new on a surface grinder using an angle plate onto the magnetic base.  I learnt my lesson as it took ages to get it to my foreman's specifications.  I can honestly say that since then I have respect for my tools 

[T33cno]

Veritas put it on its base to photograph it so I think I can 

[Brian60]

With plane (and chisels) don't expect them to work perfectly 'out of the box' They will have an edge and will work, but ideally need to be really sharpened properly before use.

Check youtube for scary sharp chisels and scary sharp plane blades for how to achieve a real cutting edge.

well, I've already listed the pressies from Santa, that I received on the day, but today I received a belated one that no one could ever top.
whilst watching for the flotilla of neighbouring lifeboats and crews to sail down the river together to Fleetwood in their annual pie and a pint lunch at the local pub, [ which never happened as half the crews either turned up by tram, car bus or taxi] and only St Annes and Barrow boats came in]I met someone!


NO!!!, not a lady...........even better than that.................the grand son of the mechanic of Fleetwood lifeboat who saved my life from drowning on my birthday in June 1959 I couldn't ask for a better Christmas present than that. I am so happy to have finally met a person directly related to the man himself, long passed over the barr.

If a plane is put on a ship, then it is still a plane; surely?

[tigertiger]

Santa brought me a scavenging opportunity

[derekwarner]

Wow......that's a good haul TT .....

Appears to be packaging/ pallet from a fast growing pine specie?......straight & square .....

You just never know what this will be used for

Did it include the saw horses and selection of modellers tools thereon ?

Unfortunately not. You can never have too many saw horses, or hammers.

My son tracked down an unmade, white metal figure of a Taisho General Archer from the 70's/80's..... beautifully detailed castings but sadly no box
I have a passion for Samurai history and medieval archery alongside model boats so a dream of a gift for me.

An absolute cracking figure with the link to model boating being Frank Hinchcliffe of Mountfleet models.
I saw this completed figure some years ago when I visited Mountfleet to purchase a Highlander Puffer kit from them.
Can't wait to get started on it !
Sadly my computer skills aren't sufficient to download photos...for anyone interested in seeing a completed figure search Google for Taisho Samurai model figure .
