Hi, welcome back.
This time, we have a bent Carriage Makers Plane and it's a real project.
A carefully worded (so it can't be returned) Ebay item was bought and it has to be fixed.
Also known as a Carriage Makers plane, Coach Makers plane, Bench Rebate & Jack Rabbet (in the US).
These smaller planes are great to use as a general bench rebating plane and this one now will have to be restored.. Maybe slightly modified too. But we will see about that later, after the most important part.
Can we bend this plane back into the (somewhere near) correct position.
Well you can watch how we sort this plane out. Robert is a great engineer who I chat to quite often. He thinks we should be able to heat it up and straighten it.
You can see how we get on here. It's not a short video so grab a cuppa and enjoy the many years of experience that goes into correcting the plane.
Have your say in the comments below the video. How do you think we did?
Thanks for watching
Jamie
