103317 | "Jonathan M. Lukens" <sisyphus131@a...> | 2002‑02‑15 | new to the group/ biography |
Hello all, I signed up for this group because I found myself skipping over 95-98% of the discussions on woodworking.rec, such as "Delta 45324545 vs. the Grizzly 6345345 table saw, or which router bit to use for whatever purpose, and how to set the blade in a jointer (a Delta not a Stanley #7). They simply didn't apply to me, and I could not contribute to them. I have been reading the archived posts from this group and I found them very helpful and cordial. I asked on the woodworking.wreck group if anyone had information about the OldTools mailing list, and got one reply from BugBear (Thanks!) Anyway, a bit about me....... My name is Jonathan Lukens. I am a 28 y.o. college student at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT, though I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and lived for a time in Burlington, Vermont. My major is Philosophy, with a minor in classics (Latin and Greek, though my Greek is FAR better than my Latin). I have been woodworking since I was rather young, as my father has a shop that occupies a 2 1/2 car garage, and probably uses enough power to light up a city block (he had to add a 3-phase service to the garage). I on the other hand discovered the joy of hand tools about 6 years ago. I own a few "tools with tails" (a drill, a sander, and a skil wormdrive), but have not used them in quite some time. I have the start of a good plane collection, mostly Stanley, as well as an accompniament of Disston saws, Irwin bits, and Stanley braces. I'm on my way............ The house I rent has a small garage in which to work. My furniture designs are generally an Arts and Crafts/ Shaker highbread, though I tend to break up the traditional rectalinear designs with long, gentle, horizontal archs. By virtue of the posts I have read thus far, I fear that I do not have a lot to add to the group. The knowledge of old tools and woodworking that all of you possess far exceeds my own. I ask your forgiveness in advance if I ask too many questions. If any of you need need help translating some Greek, or need to know which philosopher said what, or for God knows what reason you want to know the differences between Ionic and Attic Greek, perhaps I can be of service. I will contribute in any way I can. My thanks to all who have put this mailing list together and to all who contribute; I have a feeling I will learn a lot. -Jonathan |

Jonathan M. Lukens scribes for the "hoi polloi"(from the Greek, literally "buncha galoots"): >My major is >Philosophy, with a minor in classics (Latin and Greek, though my Greek is >FAR better than my Latin). A Man of Letters. Welcome. You'll find this to be *the* best mailing list on the Internet, bar none. I am particularly appreciative of the Gathered Galoots this week, as one of my other mailing lists has spent the week debating, raucously, whether it is unbearably rude to post in ALL CAPS, if you are vision impaired. Well over 200 messages on that off-topic topic, alone, this week. Can anyone think of why one would need *two* Stanley #40 (metallic scrub, Jeff) planes? I find myself with an embarrassing surfeit, having bought one from Tony Seo, and having another drop in my lap, as it were. Kirk Hays Cedar Mills, Orygun Cruffler Galoot #1 |

Except that these both seem to be the same, late variant with rosewood handles. Lotsa blade left on both, too. Incidently, I haven't been able to pry the one out of the elder GIT's hands, so that may be how I avoid having a collection of #40 scrubs - one is hers. She's already reduced a 10x10 inch 4/4 birch board to 2x10, and a big pile of curlies. Kirk Hays Cedar Mills, Orygun Cruffler Galoot #1 |

Well Jonathan welcome and jump right in there are very few ex-perts around here and as far as asking questions there are no dumb ones except the one that wasn't asked. Just ignore some of our temperamental types down here under the porch. Some of 'em just have been down here too long and their joints are getting pretty sore! We're all learning everyday and everyone has to start somewhere. In many cases I've learned what I thought I originally learned about a topic the second time it came up here...or something to that effect. Welcome again.

I've already received several justifications from rightly concerned galoots about how to justify the possession of up to five(5) #40 scrub planes. From that, I can extrapolate to 20 or 30 without even trying... This truly is the support group from Hell. Thanks to all for the slight push needed to keep me headed down the slope.

She's more of a carver than a woodworker, and she was fooling around with the Emmert and the board, and the #40 was laying there, and...well, you can see where this is going. The object was really the curlies, I fear - she discovered that pushing them onto the end of a mechanical pencil, then letting go would shoot them across the garage... I didn't want to spoil the spontaneous interest, so I let it go...my bad. > This is clearly the wrong tool for th job and you need to >get a #8 for this purpose.

Before you know it you will be the caretaker of 2 >collections. You're absolutely right. Should I let her use the LN #8 or the Stanley Type 11 #8? Yep, I have both. She can handle a #8, as she just got her blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do, and is an absolute rager on the boys when they do full-contact sparring. They fear her, and she's plenty strong to manage a #8, IOW. Dad's most happy to see boys cringe in front of his little girl, too ;-). For #7's, I'll have to pull one out of the pile and fettle it up for her... Which reminds me, I need to sharpen both #6's... >Does this make you go twice as fast down the slope? Faster, Faster, Galoot! Rust hunt, rust hunt! Kirk Hays Cedar Mills, Orygun Cruffler Galoot #1 |

Jonathan asks: "Can anyone think of why one would need *two* Stanley #40 (metallic scrub, Jeff) planes? I find myself with an embarrassing surfeit, having bought one from Tony Seo, and having another drop in my lap, as it were." I think that's obvious: One set course, and one set *really* course! ;-) Cheers, Wes P.S. Don't forget you'll need two 40 1/2s too. |

Wait a minute, Kirk. Are training the elder GIT to use a scrub plane on the EDGE of a board? This is clearly the wrong tool for th job and you need to get a #8 for this purpose. Actually, get the #8 and you'll find that it is too big for a small galoot, so then you get a #7, and if that is still too big, go for a #6. Before you know it you will be the caretaker of 2 collections. Does this make you go twice as fast down the slope? Ed Minch |

I find myself with an embarrassing surfeit, having bought >one from Tony Seo, and having another drop in my lap, as it were. You mean you've been struggling along with just ONE #40? These things are made of cast arn, aren't they? One drop to the floor and you're back to thicknessing with your teeth or whatever the heck you were using before. I also hear the lever caps on those things sometimes break. Of course you need two. This is known as backup. I, on the other hand, have a woodie scrub plane (ECE) which would merely be bruised by a fall to the floor. Not that I wouldn't snag another one if it fell into my lap. **************************** Tom Price (TomPrice@a...)

Kirk, Do you actually only have two? I can't believe a galoot could get along with only two. I just checked the shop and found four #40s, an ECE and a Peugeot Freres . Each has a different radius on the iron (isn't that a good enough reason to have multiples?).
