Information and a look at the Stanley No113 Compass Plane. Weighing pros and cons of the old style vs. the new and general discussion about parts for each. #handplane; #stanley; #vintagetools; #handtools #compassplane; #boatbuilding
First of all the compass plane does have many uses in boat building but the term spiling is not used in conjunction with a plane, at least not in boat building. But then with English language, who knows? Spiling in boat building usually refers to transferring the shape from one object or edge to another, IE pattern to part or one plank edge to the next. I know that's beside the point so back to compass planes. I have used both 113 and 20 Stanley planes and much prefer the no. 20 model. I also believe that reading the wood grain has a lot to do with success in all planning especially the compass plane because grain direction often changes in the curved surface. I enjoyed learning about your experience with planes and their history.
Keep them coming. I picked one up for pennies and thought it was a type 1 until today. Types don’t mean anything to me though. Unless it’s a type 11 anything 💪🏻V
I may have to go back and review Wheeler but it's always struck me how the compass planes are bedded on the frogs with a steeper York pitch angle.Curious to find out if anyone with more experience or study, recommendes also changing the bevel angel of the cutting irons too?
Sheer: The upward curve of the deck of a ship toward the bow and stern with the lowest point at the waist. Deadrise: The angle between the bottom of the hull and a horizontal plane drawn out perpendicular to the hull's centerline or keel, looking at the hull sections. A steeper deadrise angle will mean the hull sharpens and narrows as it gets deeper, while a smaller angle means the hull bottom is flatter.
I have a later model Stanley compass plane; correct chip breaker and lever cap. I also have a NOS 1&3/4" Ohio Tool Works tapered iron. So thought I'd see if I could use it instead of the Stanley iron. All worked well except that there is no throat opening. And the frog location is not adjustable. I'm not willing to start modifying the plane enough to use the iron.
Probably best to ignore it as it won’t affect operation in any way. If it gets to bugging you aesthetically, let me know and I’ll sell you a replacement 🤓

@@justplanefun that was quick!!! Thank you very much I just ordered it. I started taking it apart tonight but I’m going to stop and wait for the booklet to arrive. I’d like to get the 2 gears out so I can clean under them then paint. Plan using it on rocking chairs I make. Thanks again 👍
I get them in occasionally but I don’t have any currently. If you’re on Facebook, find the group - Can I Have It tool auction. You should be able to find one there.
