<div><strong>Welcome!</strong><br />
The Purpose of this Wiki is to provide a repository for all of the tool and woodworking information I've accumulated over the years. I've sold tens of thousands of tools in the past 20 years and spent hundreds of hours researching the history of these tools including the manufacturers, how they were made, and how they were used. I'm staring off this Wiki with a couple of subjects:<br />
<br />
<h2 class="subheader">Tool Manufacturers </h2><br />
This is a list of manufacturers I've researched over the years. This primarily consists of my collection of '''vintage tool advertisements''' as well as many '''original documents''' and '''catalogs'''. <br />

==Stanley Bench Plane Type Study==<br />
This section is a supplement to the Stanley Type Study that I've hosted on my website for many years. Originally created by Jeff Sutherland between 1995 and 1997, and based on the work of the ineffable Roger K. Smith and Patrick Leach, the type study is an invaluable piece of research. I've expanded a bit on it here in this Wiki: First, I've tried to simplify the type descriptions by removing the "All featured of the previous type except" statements and instead listing all of the features of a particular type. I have also started adding images of the defining features of each type for the sake of clarity.<br />
<br />
'''The formatting of the type study on the Wiki is very poor. I'm working on it. For now, [https://hyperkitten.com/old/tools/stanley_bench_plane/ the old pages work better] '''<br />

==Harvey W. Peace Handsaws==<br />
For the past 20 years I've researched the Harvey W. Peace company and the handsaws they made.<br />

This is a long-term project and something I've intended to work on for years. Since this is a Wiki, please feel free to contribute, make suggestions, or point out mistakes I've made.

The Purpose of this Wiki is to provide a repository for all of the tool and woodworking information I've accumulated over the years. I've sold tens of thousands of tools in the past 20 years and spent hundreds of hours researching the history of these tools including the manufacturers, how they were made, and how they were used. I'm staring off this Wiki with a couple of subjects:<br />

==Stanley Bench Plane Type Study==<br />
This section is a supplement to the Stanley Type Study that I've hosted on my website for many years. Originally created by Jeff Sutherland between 1995 and 1997, and based on the work of the ineffable Roger K. Smith and Patrick Leach, the type study is an invaluable piece of research. I've expanded a bit on it here in this Wiki: First, I've tried to simplify the type descriptions by removing the "All featured of the previous type except" statements and instead listing all of the features of a particular type. I have also started adding images of the defining features of each type for the sake of clarity.<br />

<div>=== Getting started ===<br />
(Commentary by Jay Sutherland)<br />
I’ve converted some of the plane dating information found in Patrick Leach’s Plane Type Study into an easy-to-use hypertext flowchart. Hopefully by answering a few questions about your plane you can determine which type it is.<br />
<br />
The flowchart starts by asking questions about the cast iron bed of your plane. I’ve chosen the bed as a starting point because it has many easily identifiable markings, and it probably wasn’t replaced that often.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, many plane types share the same bed markings, so other features are also used in dating. Some plane parts were frequently replaced by their owners, or are easily separated from the plane, such as irons, cap irons, knobs and totes, and lever caps. These features are avoided where possible, along with features that appear in only some planes of a given type (i.e. frog adjustment screw).<br />
<br />
Where possible, the flowchart uses parts that were probably replaced less often, such as frogs, depth adjustment screws and lateral adjustment levers. This approach doesn’t guarantee that you’ll date your plane correctly, as the flowchart can be thrown off by some hybrids. The best approach is to use the flowchart to date your plane, and then visit the Plane Type Study and Plane Feature Timeline to verify the type.<br />
<br />
=== Disclaimers ===<br />
The type study is based on the #4 bench plane<br />
Hybrids of plane types are very common<br />
This type study applies only to Stanley planes made in the U.S.A. English Stanley planes do not follow this type study.<br />

<br />
===Scope and Limitations===<br />
(Commentary by [http://www.supertool.com Patrick Leach,] from the original Stanley Bench Plane Type Study website)<br />
<br />
Getting started Ever wanna date Stanley planes without having to serve time in the big house for trumped up charges of rhynkenological abuse? Well, read on.<br />
<br />
Scope The types are listed for the #4 size bench plane. Most of the other bench planes follow the features listed below, with some minor differences. One of the most easy to spot is the location of the number designation cast into the bed of the plane. The larger ones have their numbers cast behind the tote, whereas the smaller ones have it cast at the toe (in front of the knob).<br />
<br />
Hybrids One thing needs to be stressed — some planes are hybrids of the types I’ve listed. This is for the simple fact that parts on-hand were used up. It would have been wasteful and costly had Stanley decided to chuck the castings they had on-hand when subtle changes were made to the planes. Most of the parts were made well before the planes ever were assembled. Stanley had a huge replacement parts business, and there was no way they could anticipate how many of any particular part would be ordered. Thus, they made batches of them for replacements and for new planes. Any leftovers, which could be used on the next batch, which may have had a subtle change made to them, would naturally be used up. So, if your plane has a part from an adjacent type, or a part from a type within a few years of a particular type, it’s more than likely original to the plane, provided the patina and wear match the rest of the plane. To date your plane accurately, it must have all of the stuff listed for that particular model. <br />
<br />
Limitations Things that are hard to describe, like the shapes of totes, are not listed here. You’d have to see pictures, or examples, of the planes to be able to detect the subtle differences.<br />
<br />
There are some hybrid models, and sub-models, which aren’t fully documented, but what follows are the ones you’re most likely to encounter. Some are extremely rare, and bizarre, like the true first model with its three screws to secure the frog to the bed. These hybrids surfaced after the type study was made, too late to be included into it.<br />
<br />

Acknowledgements from the Original author: The information in this Web page is derived from a type study done by Roger Smith, in his book "Patented Transitional & Metallic Planes in America." Patrick Leach reformatted the type study and added comments based on his experience with Stanley planes. I converted the type study to hypertext and added the plane dating flowchart and feature timeline. <br />
<br />
===History===<br />
Some History of the Stanley Bench Plane Dating Web Pages<br />
<br />
The Stanley Bench Plane Dating pages were created by a gentleman by the name of Jay Sutherland in the mid 1990’s. Jay created these web pages to help people identify and establish the date their Stanley bench planes were manufactured. He based his pages on the work of Roger Smith and Patrick Leach. Patrick’s Blood and Gore contains detailed descriptions and commentary on each of the numbered Stanley planes. Roger’s work was published in his books PATENTED TRANSITIONAL & METALLIC PLANES IN AMERICA (PTAMPIA) volumes 1 and 2. Jay’s plane dating pages were easy to use and became a valuable resource to the Old Tools community.<br />
<br />
Some time in 2000-2001 Jay’s Stanley Plane Dating pages went offline. Jay had finished his graduate work and the pages were lost when his web server account was closed. The pages were unavailable for at least a year. In early 2002 several members of the email list, myself included, undertook to rescue Jay’s work and make it available again. We used the WayBack machine to access archived copies of the pages. Eventually we were able to get all of Jay’s original pages back online and the information spread across multiple web servers to prevent them from being lost again.<br />
<br />
Jay’s Stanley Bench Plane pages remain very popular today, getting several thousand unique visitors every month. I had a conversation with Jay a few months ago and conveyed the appreciation of the many people who have contacted me to tell me they found his pages useful. These days jay isn’t doing much work with old tools, but he told me he looks forward to rekindling his hobby when time permits. Jay reiterated his gratitude toward people like Patrick and Roger who did a lot of the early research and type studies related to Stanley planes.<br />
<br />
I’m now beginning to re-write some of the Stanley Bench Plane Dating pages to make them a little more user-friendly. I’m trying to remove the frames, tables, etc. and incorporate more modern technologies while attempting to preserve the original flow of Jay’s pages. The content remains the same, and the original pages, in their original format are available here. I hope you enjoy these pages and find them useful! –Joshua</div>JoshuaClarkhttps://hyperkitten.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=631Main Page2020-02-28T23:35:04Z<p>JoshuaClark: </p>

<div><strong>Welcome!</strong><br />
The Purpose of this Wiki is to provide a repository for all of the tool and woodworking information I've accumulated over the years. I've sold tens of thousands of tools in the past 20 years and spent hundreds of hours researching the history of these tools including the manufacturers, how they were made, and how they were used. I'm staring off this Wiki with a couple of subjects:<br />
<br />
==Tool Manufacturers ==<br />
This is a list of manufacturers I've researched over the years. This primarily consists of my collection of vintage tool advertisements as well as many original document and catalogs. <br />

==Stanley Bench Plane Type Study==<br />
This section is a supplement to the Stanley Type Study that I've hosted on my website for many years. Originally created by Jeff Sutherland between 1995 and 1997, and based on the work of the ineffable Roger K. Smith and Patrick Leach, the type study is an invaluable piece of research. I've expanded a bit on it here in this Wiki: First, I've tried to simplify the type descriptions by removing the "All featured of the previous type except" statements and instead listing all of the features of a particular type. I have also started adding images of the defining features of each type for the sake of clarity.<br />

<div>The following pages can help you determine roughly when a Stanley bench plane was made. I didn't create these pages, but I have added to them. I encourage you to read the history of these pages for some background.<br />

[[Type_Study_Flowchart|Stanley Type Study Flow Chart]]<br />
<br />
===Scope and Limitations===<br />
(Commentary by [http://www.supertool.com Patrick Leach,] from the original Stanley Bench Plane Type Study website)<br />
<br />
Getting started Ever wanna date Stanley planes without having to serve time in the big house for trumped up charges of rhynkenological abuse? Well, read on.<br />
<br />
Scope The types are listed for the #4 size bench plane. Most of the other bench planes follow the features listed below, with some minor differences. One of the most easy to spot is the location of the number designation cast into the bed of the plane. The larger ones have their numbers cast behind the tote, whereas the smaller ones have it cast at the toe (in front of the knob).<br />
<br />
Hybrids One thing needs to be stressed — some planes are hybrids of the types I’ve listed. This is for the simple fact that parts on-hand were used up. It would have been wasteful and costly had Stanley decided to chuck the castings they had on-hand when subtle changes were made to the planes. Most of the parts were made well before the planes ever were assembled. Stanley had a huge replacement parts business, and there was no way they could anticipate how many of any particular part would be ordered. Thus, they made batches of them for replacements and for new planes. Any leftovers, which could be used on the next batch, which may have had a subtle change made to them, would naturally be used up. So, if your plane has a part from an adjacent type, or a part from a type within a few years of a particular type, it’s more than likely original to the plane, provided the patina and wear match the rest of the plane. To date your plane accurately, it must have all of the stuff listed for that particular model. <br />
<br />
Limitations Things that are hard to describe, like the shapes of totes, are not listed here. You’d have to see pictures, or examples, of the planes to be able to detect the subtle differences.<br />
<br />
There are some hybrid models, and sub-models, which aren’t fully documented, but what follows are the ones you’re most likely to encounter. Some are extremely rare, and bizarre, like the true first model with its three screws to secure the frog to the bed. These hybrids surfaced after the type study was made, too late to be included into it.<br />

===History===<br />
Some History of the Stanley Bench Plane Dating Web Pages<br />
<br />
The Stanley Bench Plane Dating pages were created by a gentleman by the name of Jay Sutherland in the mid 1990’s. Jay created these web pages to help people identify and establish the date their Stanley bench planes were manufactured. He based his pages on the work of Roger Smith and Patrick Leach. Patrick’s Blood and Gore contains detailed descriptions and commentary on each of the numbered Stanley planes. Roger’s work was published in his books PATENTED TRANSITIONAL & METALLIC PLANES IN AMERICA (PTAMPIA) volumes 1 and 2. Jay’s plane dating pages were easy to use and became a valuable resource to the Old Tools community.<br />
<br />
Some time in 2000-2001 Jay’s Stanley Plane Dating pages went offline. Jay had finished his graduate work and the pages were lost when his web server account was closed. The pages were unavailable for at least a year. In early 2002 several members of the email list, myself included, undertook to rescue Jay’s work and make it available again. We used the WayBack machine to access archived copies of the pages. Eventually we were able to get all of Jay’s original pages back online and the information spread across multiple web servers to prevent them from being lost again.<br />

<br />
===Distinguishing Features (changes from previous type in '''bold''')===<br />
*'''The lateral adjustment lever makes its debut. It has two patent dates, “2-8-76” and “10-21-84”, stamped into it, along with the word “STANLEY”. The lateral lever is a one-piece construction, with its portion that engages the slot in the iron being straight across.<br />
*'''Top of the frog no longer rounded as before. The top is more a flattened arch-shape.<br />
*'''The number is now cast into the main casting; i.e. on the smaller planes, at the toe, and on the heel, #5 and up.<br />
*'''The trademark stamped into the iron is the same as before, except that “STANLEY” is in a straight line, in large letters, and the rest of the logo immediately below, in small letters.<br />
<br />
===Features Carried Over From Previous Types===<br />
*Rosewood knob is shaped like a hot air balloon, and has a distinct bead turned into its base.<br />
*“L. BAILEY’S” “PATENT” “DEC. 24, 1867” is stamped on the top of the iron and cap iron.<br />
*The brass adjusting nut in now recessed, with the patent “BAILEY’S PATENT” “AUG. 31, 1858, AUG. 6, 1867” stamped inside.<br />
*The back of the lever cap is recessed.<br />
*The frog receiver is now a broad, rectangular area, with an arched rear (the portion nearest the tote). It is machined flat.<br />
*Flat head screws now hold the frog in place.<br />

<div>Harvey W. Peace made three distinct types of handsaws.<br />
<br />
'''Traditional straight-back saws''' in the English style were made throughout the company’s history. <br />
<br />
Later on the company offered '''“Perfection”''' style handsaws in the more more modern style that Disston pioneered in the early 1880s. These saws “let-in” handles in which the handles sits in a slot cut into the saw plate, bringing the user’s hand closer to the center of the saw and changing the cutting dynamics. These saws also featured a skew back rather than a straight back. These saws also featured Peace’s patent reinforcing strip, a small piece of nickel-plated steel at the heel of the handle to protect it from damage. <br />
<br />
The third and most uncommon type of handsaw Peace made is the '''Andrews patent handsaw.''' These saws are unique in that the saw handle is let in to the blade to such an extent that the plate extends part way through the grip of the handle. When attempting to identify a Peace handsaw determining the type is a good first step to narrow down the possibilities.<br />

<br />
[[File:Peace perfections saws.jpg|thumb|center|Peace Perfection Saws]]<br />
<br />
Introduced between 1883 and 1884, Peace’s Perfection line of saws (The P70, P68, P47, P45, P37, and P27) are easily distinguished by their “let-in” handles similar to Disston’s D-8 and D-100 models. This improvement was intended to bring the user’s hand “closer to the work” and by moving the saw’s center of gravity. These saws also featured Peace’s patented nickel-plated reinforcing plate which was designed to “stiffen the heel and strengthen the handle”.<br />
