Bodied Woodworking Planes




2 Infill Mitre Planes2 Infill Mitre / Rebate Planes   Here are a super nice pair of small Scottish Rebate / Mitre planes.  The one on the right is marked on the nose, and you can make out Glasgow, but nothing more.  I believe it is a Mathieson  but that might not be right..  Note the chamfered edges, and the finish details that went into this planes makeup.   The throats on both are perfect and very close.     Hard to find!!

Brass Infill Mitre / Rebate PlanesBrass Infill Mitre / Rebate Plane by Lie Nielsen   I have been told, and have seen reference to this being a plane kit that Lie Nielsen put out back in the 80's.  That would be about right considering all of the Lie Nielsen planes I have for sale came from one collector who was most active in the 80's and early 90's.

The tolerances, fine finish and craftsmanship leave no doubt as to the makers skill in finishing this off.  It is not signed or marked anywhere.  The wedge fit is as tight as possible and yet slides in and out as though machined.   The opening at the throat is as fine and straight as one could ask for.  As fine a piece of plane making as I have ever seen.

Defiance PlaneDefiance Type Plane   The collector loved a mystery.  The body of this plane looks very similar to the Defiance line of planes produced in RI by Seldon Bailey and the Bailey Tool co. of Woonsocket RI.  Leonard Bailey was also involved w/ this outfit when the Defiance and Victor lines of planes were produced there during his time away from Stanley and that story is told in detail in Roger Smiths book PTAMPIA vol. 1 & 2.

While the body is shaped much like a Defiance plane, and the wood has the right shape and age to be from that period, the frog and cutter are totally different from anything seen before on a Defiance or Bailey Tool Co plane. The only marking is on the cutter.   The Moulson cutter in it is the cutter preferred by Leonard Bailey to use in his rare split frame planes.  He also used them in his 3 screw frog planes.   The tag the collector wrote up indicates he was a believer.  The small tag on the side rail indicates I sold it to him in the early 90's.  I sure do not remember it, or where I got it, but that was when I was into a lot of barns and out of the way places on the east coast.  The frog is like a prelateral Stanley product, but the brass wheel is completely different and not marked.  The knurling does not look like 19th century.   As I said a mystery.   Hard to find and probably one of a kind!!

pattern makers planeSmall Pattern Makers Plane This is a very unusual size and form pattern makers plane.  It has 5 bottoms and  cutters.  It appears to be made of some sort of fruitwood.  It is marked W. Crompton in two places on the body which I assume was the maker / owner maker.  The fitted box for the cutters is very nice and the cutters are well made and sharp.  One of them is marked Jessup & Son Cast Steel "Green Label". The rest look to be from the same stock but are unmarked.   Overall the plane is 8" long, and the cutters are 1 1/4" wide.  The bottom of the plane has two brass slot affairs let in that locks the the bottoms to the base of the main body.  The plane is sound and nice overall.
