Lots to see here.MOSCOW, April 14 (Reuters) - Russian transportation group FESCO (FESH.MM) said on Friday that it has opened a direct air route to import electronic goods from Hong Kong to Moscow as Russian businesses seek to end their reliance on Western supply chains. The blog tells the whole story, just not in any logical order. I first began learning these techniques in 1978. It is about a few things my specialty in reproductions of 17th-century oak furniture, the use of hand woodworking tools, carving wooden spoons & bowls – and other pursuits involving hardwoods “riven” or split from a log. Jennie confirmed today that yes, in this case, the workpiece is fixed on the bench, not just shoved against a bench hook. PF converted German smooth planeĪnd now, here is the Little Master, as Alexander was sometimes called, pulling a German-style plane towards the user’s tummy…an oft-praised technique. That’s the main reason why I adapt the German smooth planes to use as a fore plane, they are available in wider sizes. It’s quite narrow, about an inch & a half, which I find uncomfortable to handle for any length of time. Here’s a modern German one, in the US we call this a scrub plane nowadays. We know the English used fore planes with convex-ground irons, we know they used (sometimes) planes with a front “tote.” a short-bodied plane with a handle at the toe, or forward end of the plane. The ones I use are German/Dutch/Continental style, i.e. As I resume work on the book about making joined stools, (writing a book in your spare time is not advisable!) Alexander & I grapple with how much history part to include, and how much deviation from period practice is also tolerable.Īll of this means what? When I am describing this plane & its function to visitors in my shop, I run down just what we have looked at here it has a curved iron for rough stock preparation, I think that this is the principal characteristic of the “fore” plane. My work often requires a few pieces of oak four feet, maybe 4 1/2 feet long, but most of the stock is under three feet long. He describes a “quarter” – a piece of wood 2″ x 4″ x 7′ – I rarely work stock of this length…but I can see where a longer fore plane would be helpful there. Moxon’s example of what a joiner was making was more like wainscoting for a room, rather than furniture, or “moveables” as the seventeenth century called it. I know in the joined furniture I make, a long fore plane is rarely necessary. Doesn’t mean every joiner used planes as Moxon described them…but we have little other evidence. Joseph Moxon’s description of a fore plane talks about a plane a good deal longer than these.
It is not a 17th-century term for a plane.
Nor do we know when the term “scrub” plane came into use. The only documentary evidence for this plane’s use in 17th-century England is Randle Holme, who refers to it as a smooth plane. First off, we have no notion as to whether or not English joiners used these short planes as “fore” planes. First off, here is the end view of the ash plane I made, so Alexander can see the orientation of the plane blank:Īlexander & I traded some quick emails this morning, about nomenclature & this style plane. A few more thoughts about the planes I was discussing in the previous two posts.
