The Fun Flop Stanley Made | Stanley 45 Hollows and Rounds 

Glad I could finally show them off!

LOL he has been putting a lot like that lately!

Did Stanley make a 33 1/3?

You would have to do some serious engineering to make the plastic strong enough to not flex and still be held on by only the steel rods. You end up putting a decent amount of pressure on it to keep it in place. But it would be kind of fun to engineer.

It even makes me desire to have a 55, and I do not even own a pull saw.

I made a custom kerfing plane attachment for use with a 45 by drilling holes for the guide rods through a block of oak (just because I had oak to hand) then tapping holes into the oak for rod clamps as per the standard 45 fence, and then installing a length of saw blade. This was an idle experiment as I had all the materials to hand, I hadn't thought a kerfing plane would have much practical use, but being able to cut precise parallel saw kerfs is incredibly useful! The drilled mounting works really well for attaching to the 45 which then leaves you the standard challenges involved in making a traditional wooden hollow/round plane. There are several youTube how-to vids to guide you on that process, plus Matthew Biskford's excellent Moulding In Practice book (order from Lost Art Press) provides the critical geometry information. Plus, if you're going to use hollows and rounds to their full potential you NEED Matthew's book!! I guess the alternative would be to drill guide rod holes through existing wooden hollows/rounds, and add rod clamps, but I personally can't bring myself to cut into antique tools (okay, I admit I'm a compulsive restorer who keeps buying 'beyond all hope' antique 'bargains' and then bringing them back to full working order, hence my collection of err... 'more than a couple' of Stanley 45s).

I thought about that. They would have to be really well designed to take that kind of force. But it might be doable. You would also need to get the irons.

They are a good deal smaller in all 3 dimensions. And you can slide them all onto a rod for storage

sure. it would be fun to attach correctly but you could modify a fence to do that.

You could. But if you want to make a wooden attachment it would be better to put it on the fence rather than the skate. It already has mounting points for it.

you could jut carve it with a chisel or gouge. it sounds daunting, but with a pit of practice it is fairly easy.

I’ve certainly seen Paul Sellers doing a bullnose (round over) with a number 4. It is actually quite easy with a little bit of practice. Not really the same as planing an ogee profile with a pair of hollow and round planes.

I recently waitched Paul Sellers older (8 yr ago) videos on "Building a wall clock". Part way thru, he uses a gouge (?) and a dowel+sandpaper to make a bit of cove moulding. He then shows a trick for making a bead profile with little more than a screw-thru-scrap block (and some touch up with a saw and some sand paper) and the final result is amazing.

I'm actually in the middle of making a Chinese checkers board and we'll be doing a video on that in the next month or so. I'm currently experimenting with a few bits to find out what exactly is the best one for that. Although right now I'm just leaning towards drilling a 3/8 inch hole with a standard auger bit rather than making it perfectly round. We will see though.

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Router with a core box bit???? LOL

@@WoodByWrightHowTo My 'thought' was to use a core box bit, drilling in a millimeter or 2 with the right sized bit (15mm) and then going to depth with the router bit. Not sure how the router bit will work in the drill, but figure they both spin the bit at a high speed so... This time I will definitely be using my drill press rig to avoid the blood and gore post on discord.

Just the 6, 8, 10, and 12.

LOL I like it. and congrats on first!

my 45's shoot 6 times....oh, not that kind of 45. ok.

I traded a large rip cut hand saw. Sarah joins us for the live videos on tuesdays. She doesn't do a whole lot of woodworking though. As she works full-time she doesn't have that much time.

@@WoodByWrightHowTo thank God you kept Sarah!

I honestly can't remember. It was several months ago. But I know one of the items included was a large rip saw.

It was a 5-1/2 point rip saw. I really had no need for the hollow and round and James was looking for them. I had commissioned a small set of lefty hollows and rounds.

@@planeoldwoodworking that’s very kind. I just saw one on eBay that was going for almost what I paid for a half matched set of skewed h/r’s. I thought he may have traded the Stanley 51 Chute plane!😂😂

Was that it. wow I got a steel! I owe you man!

@@WoodByWrightHowTo perhaps a collab one day lol
