Record 43 Plough Plane SD 480p

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

Thanks for showing your well tuned plane. The sound of a razor sharp plane slicing through a piece of wood never gets old.

My pleasure, Bradley. Thanks for watching!

On the planes without blade register you can adjust the blade with a hammer or a chisel handle: a light blow on the blade to get it down or on the back of plane to get it up

Hey Frank! A really nice example of a very useful plane.

Thanks, Bob. I love that little bugger! Hey viewers. Bob is a friend and a real master of hand tools and traditional woodworking techniques. I strongly recommend you click on that little B icon next to his name and explore his site.

This and he Luban plane that is similar/copy have always been tempting. Is your attractive looking awl made by yourself? It makes me want to order one from Matthias Fenner Toolworks.

[@frankvucolo6249]

Thank you. I did not make that awl myself but it looks like someone did or it was the production of a small shop. No markings at all. I think it is a rosewood handle because the color has not worn off after much use. Serves double duty as a pointer 😊 Luban is the name that would not come to mind in my customary, unrehearsed, stream of conscious narration. Nice looking tool. It has more irons (metric and imperial) as well as saw kerf fitting and blade. Pretty sure that Luban is manufactured by the same factory that puts out Wood River for Woodcraft - Qainsheng or something like that. Lee Valley has a small Plough plane too. About an inch longer at the fence and with a tote. It also has more irons available, including for cutting a tongue and for breeding. Lie-Nielsen does not appear to make a small Plough plane. Looking on eBay today, a nice Vintage Record 43 (like mine) in box with all the irons is listing at $108. A newer one (guessing 60s vintage with fancy blue laminated box and plastic sleeve for the cutters) is listing around $86. There are lots of beaters and parts listed, too, priced all over the place. Sorry for the long reply but I’m feeling guilty about going off the cuff in the video without doing the research in advance. Good luck to you with your Plough plane and awl search.

@@frankvucolo6249 Haha that’s the power of the internet and places like Reddit. More people, more knowledge. Thank you for reply :)
