PLOW OR PLOUGH PLANES BY RECORD

[@stevem268]

my 94 yr old father has one of these and it belonged to his father. so it would have been purchased in the early 1900's. still in use today!

I have a Rapier 043, nearly identical knock-off. Excellent little tool. I especially like it for traveling because it is small but very versatile.

[@ChetSpier]

Very nice.

Nice presentation of these plow planes.

@@dennismeko thank you.

I love my cool Record. NB: I made a round channel with a round rasp (and wax it to be very slippery ) at the exit of the shaving in order for the shavings to get out easily instead of accumulating and getting stuck.

[@ikust007]

Really like the one with the 2 rods

Thanks. I've just discovered a Marples MA43 (identical to yours apart from the name), possibly unused, in a box in the cellar of the house we bought in Sheffield some months ago. It seems to have all its bits but I've never used one before so was eager to check. Aren't I a lucky boy!

The 043 is a fantastic little plane. As a tool accumulater, I try to justify tools by grouping them for specific tasks. The 278 and a 043 are my “small box” pair of rebate and plough planes. Truth is, they will accomplish much more than that. But, then I’d have to admit that I have way too much overlap in my tool accumulation.

Now that you have the Record original, you really need the Rapier copy to compare... I think it's just as good. And if you have the Rapier, you really need the Russian copy as well... Were they trying to destabilise the west, one groove at a time or just making good tools to sell for a few pounds of foreign exchange?😊

Love your content! ☝🏼😊

Sweet little planes, always enjoy your educational videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@ChetSpier]

Thank you, kindly.

[@ColineRusselle]

They are gateway tool drug! Such joy to use, I like the keep three ready idea. Why did I give one away!?

[@TomBuskey]

I wonder the Veritas box plane compares? It was based on them

[@johngalanes5264]

Thanks for the video Chester, very interesting. I wonder how it compares to using a Stanley 45 of 55 for the same task?

[@ChetSpier]

@@johngalanes5264 they will certainly function with these cutters but will do much more and the size of them may be awkward in smaller projects.

It might help with the wobble on single rod if you got another rod that fits hole to use and flatten the top side where the bolts set and keep the original in case you want to sell as original later. On the wooden rail try gluing a board to the runner along the top to stop pivoting, you will want to slope or round the front of this top board.

@@GeraldineStaley-l5q the rod is flat in top and it is threaded into the body.
