SOLD Auburn Tool Co Plow Plane Three Blades
Sorry this plane has been SOLD,
FOR SALE: Auburn Tool Co. Plow Plane and Three Plane Blades PRICE REDUCED
This is a clean wooden plow plane from the Auburn Tool Co. from Auburn NY. I am interested in changing to the Veritas plow plane so this one is on its way out. I purchased it at an antique store late last year for $120.00 with one 1/4" plane blade and I have since picked up a couple other blades that fit, another 1/4" and a 1/2" wide.
This plane has dings in the body from its life span but both screw arms are straight and the setting knobs are functional and reliable. The depth gauge is functional and reliable as well. I am suspicious the plane wedge is a replacement piece, maybe from a different plane because it fits very tight, but this can be remedied if you care to. It is a good user grade plane.
Again it comes with two 1/4" blades and one 1/2" blade, only one of the 1/4" blades (the one that came with the plane) has been sharpened and used by me, they will all require sharpening/honing.
I am selling this plane for SOLD $120.00 USD $80.00 USD plus shipping costs. It will go to the first person to send an email to oldwolfworkshop@gmail.com and tell me you want it. (be sure to mention the plane in your email)
Why am I selling this plane, you can read why in my post HERE. Thanks for looking.

N°1 Spiers Dovetail Plane
This post has written by Vittorio
Thinking of metal planes I often think to Stewart Spiers
I used Fe 430 steel bars (5x70mm) for sole and sides, joined the two sides in three points by countersunk screws (in this way the screws do not interfere while the pieces are clamped in the vice) and cut the tails.
The mouth is opened by boring it with a 3 mm tip, hack saw blade and a 2,5 mm file. I obtained two angles, one of 47° (seat angle) and the other of 45° (wear angle).
The blade support (47°) is fixed by 3 iron rivets (dia. 6,5 mm)
The sole is prepared for jointing and the classical Spiers profile is cut. Beautiful but a little bit laborious.
Sanding by 80 grit abrasive paper (sides are screwed to a piece of wood)
During the tail peening, if joints are precise, 2 mm of extra length are enough, otherwise 3 mm are necessary for closing all gaps.
The chipbreaker showed some rusted areas, so I sanded it (80 and 120 grit) and created the profile for a good adherence to blade at cutting edge.
The cap iron screw (M8, 16 mm head) was built by welding together a rectangular nut with a screwed rod.
Bun and handle are ash wood, stained and treated with shellac.
The M6 threaded spacers are inserted.
I decided to fix all by screwing and rebating; unfortunately some trace remains after the sanding job too.
The sole is flat, the mouth is tight
length 345 mm
Width 65 mm
Weight 3,366 Kg

I like much the side profile and handles, so I searched for a model; I found it on the Handplane Central website, so I adapted the draw for a 2 inches blade and tried to building the plane.

Lever cap: I could not imitate the original because had not a model; however the job was acceptable for me.
The chipbreaker showed some rusted areas, so I sanded it (80 and 120 grit) and created the profile for a good adherence to blade at cutting edge.
The Sorby blade is 2" wide parallel iron (from e-bay); 25° bevel, 30° microbevel.

I tried the plane on fir and beech, along the grain as well as across the grain. The results are very good and the plane does not get clogged.
Finally, I have got a Spiers
