1888 ish adventure

 


My dad got his hands on a stanley hand plane many years ago. For as long as I can remember it has been hanging on his wall collection of old tools. 

I started the adventure of getting it apart and cleaned. I was able to get it back together. However, the fine tune tool get it working correctly is another story. Partly because I have no idea exactly how to even use a hand plane.

I took a closer look at burrs under a micrscope

 Had some fun putting the burrs under my microscope and looking at the fine details. Its interesting to see how the burrs are made differently. It shows there are similar but differences between burrs. This first picture shows that tops might be similar however, the one on the right has a different angle. The next two shows that sometimes the tops are flat and will not cut. And sometimes they have the ability to cut. Tip: the top is for smoothing the surface. Its not for primary cutting. The edge cuts better. Diamond bits are good for fine details. They come in different grits. I wish I knew that sooner. More videos and blogs coming soon. They will be tips / tricks, and excision examples. youtube video
