Record 044, I'm not a collector but.....

[Lord Nibbo]

Jim my friend from Portreath gave me this Record 044 So now as for Record plough planes go I've got two 044, two 050, two 43, and one 405 I'm not listing the Stanleys




My old boxed one got more blades but the new one is much shinier.

Oh yes you are..... ;D ;D

[Alf]

Portreath? Portreath?! I'm nearer Portreath than you are! You mean to tell me that shiny beauty practically drove past me?!!! Gott in himmel...

Now a trick question - have you tried using those extra cutters, particularly the beading ones, with that 044? 'Cos unless there's been jiggery-pokery I'm betting the skate is gonna be too thick for 'em. Probably for a 050 or 405, assuming they're Record at all.

Cheers, Alf

Who will give envy with one hand and dis the other gloat with the other in the name of balance. ;D

...and set a cunning collector trap, while she's at it.

Never used um, but I suppose I better try them just to see if they will fit ;D Of course it might mean I got some spares for my 405 don't it then ? ;D

Methinks he fell into it, Jake... ;D

[jake]

That's a live 'un, alright.

He says, with virginal (in this ownership) #55 sitting in a box it's been in and hasn't moved from for, err, too long.

So you're a collector as well then..... ;D ;D ;D

[jake]

erm

[Scrit]

Well, m'lud, I feel that members of the jury should take that reply to be in the affirmative......

[jake]

I have a few tools waiting for the right moment.

[engineerone]

so come on jake, how do you know when the tools are for the right occassion, do you have conversations with them

i have used my stanley plough a couple of times. but now must re-sharpen many of the blades to 30 degrees rather than 25 where they broke up.

what i want to know ln is how you find the room ;D

paul

[jake]

No, I wait for the occasion when it's the right tool, Paul. So far, I haven't bought the boat to anchor.

[Alf]

Paul, 35° - maximum support.

Tsk, all these collectors. Who'd have thunk it?

Cheers, Alf

B@ll@cks to you Mam....

Just to start you drooling here's a better pic showing every flat cutter sharpened to 30deg and I even tested them ;D
I've never sharpened any of the beading or curved cutters they are as new, and I don't want to f@ck them up ;D


I think I'll go and take a pic showing the whole collection of doorstops

Yes, definitely a collector, say he with a mug shot of a 55 ;D
Double B@ll@cks to you too ;D

You haven't got a collection of them too, have you...? ;D

Yep, Paul, condemned from his own keyboard... Luckily when it comes to these beasties I've already accepted my collector status and metaphorically already taken the glass out of the house I'm throwing stones from. ;D



Cheers, Alf

[Lord Nibbo]

The one marked #7 is that an electric version? it looks quite handsome

[Lord Nibbo]

Here's a porn pic just for ALF ;D

Actually, I'm a reformed Boatanchoraholic (but still taking it one day at a time ;D). I sold my Stanley #50 a couple of weeks ago. That's left me with "just" a Stanley #45, Record #405 and Stanley #55.

Never really liked the #50 (much too light) and was never going to use it again so sold it to someone who probably will use it.

On the other hand, I frequently use the #45, #405 and #55 - lovely planes

Cheers

You mean you don't talk to your tools? I have to admit that my conversations with tools are normally restricted to a feew well chosen expletives, but I do talk, or rather shout, at them from time to time...... ;D

Mod Warming: This thread is beginning to turn into tool porn, so please let's have no more "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" talk, thank you

Wot, like this ;D ;D

[evergreen]

Lord Nibbo,

Please tell us more about this sleek, exotic, beautifully proportioned young plough plane which you've shown lounging lasciviously on a soft, white, fluffy towel. Is it yours or is it just a picture that you've downloaded from a dodgy web site?

Regards.
