Can't answer any of the others, looks like I have a lot to learn. |

Wow. RicodJour is a tough act to follow.
#13 is a chain drill used for boring into metal with a hand brace. Photo b shows the indexing wheel which advances the screw which tightens the chain a tad with every revolution of the bit. I have one of these and have never used it. Art "Ken Vaughn" wrote in message ink.net... I did a post similar to this 5 years ago and it was generally received as interesting and educational.

Photo b shows the indexing wheel which advances the screw which tightens the chain a tad with every revolution of the bit. I have one of these and have never used it. Art Exactly, although I think the chain which originally came with the drill used slightly different shaped links. The chuck is a 3-jaw Jacobs style chuck and not the type used with auger bits so I am guessing it was used mostly with metal (twist) bits. I found this chain drill at an antique shop years ago -- tried it once and it worked OK. Ken |

Tool Quiz -- How many can you answer? (Answers)
Well RecodJour pretty much nailed it. Answers and a few more photos follow.
"Ken Vaughn" wrote in message ink.net... I did a post similar to this 5 years ago and it was generally received as interesting and educational. The following photos are of hand tools from my personal collection and all are shown somewhere in the Hand Tool Page(s) on my vanity website (URL in my signature). See how many you can answer. 1. Let's start with an easy one. What is the model # of this Stanley plane? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_1.jpg Stanley 55 Universal Plane -- came with 52 to 55 cutters depending on the time when it was made. http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...55_cutters.jpg 2. What is this Stanley tool? What was it used for? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_2.jpg Stanley #49 Adjustable Bit Gauge -- attaches to any size auger bit to limit the depth of the hole. 3. These two Stanley tools have similar handles but are quite different. What are they and what are they used for? (a) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_3a.jpg (b) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_3b.jpg Just as RecodJour said. (3a) is a scraper plane pushed forward with the handles and the scraper blade inclined towards the front with a slight hook formed on the blade, which was usually sharpened to around 45 degrees. (3b) is a belt makers plane used to chamfer the ends of a leather belt so they could be glued together in a scarf joint to form a continuous belt of uniform thickness. These wide leather belts were used to drive equipment that were connected to a water or steam driven line shaft. 4. What is this tool called and what is it used for? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_4.jpg This is an inshave, also called a scorp, which was used to hollow chair seats, scoop out the center of a bowl, or other tasks. 5. What are these used for? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_5.jpg These are a set of chamfer guides which would be attached to a draw knife to limit the depth of a chamfer cut by the knife. http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...fer_guides.jpg 6. These were removed from some block planes. What are they called? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_6.jpg These are knuckle joint lever caps -- shown here on my favorite block planes, the Stanley #18 and Stanley #65 low angle. http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...ock_planes.jpg Sargent also used a similar lever cap http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...ckle_joint.jpg 7. These two tools are used in the same carpentry task. What are they called and how are they used? (a) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_7a.jpg (b) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_7b.jpg (7a) is a Stanley 89 clapboard gauge. Most carpenters used 2 or 3 of these when nailing clapboard siding to a building. It was used as follows -- there are two sharp tabs on the top of the metal plate (not visible in the photo). These were inserted up and under the current top clapboard siding and the handle moved to one side forcing a spur into the clapboard below the top clapboard and holding it in place. The next siding was placed on the L-shaped bracket at the top and the carpenter nailed it in place. (7b) is a Stanley 88 clapboard siding marker. It was used as shown in the following photo to mark the end of a clapboard so it could be cut to butt up against the casing which formed the corner boards. http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...ley_88_use.jpg And before someone comments -- I just grabbed a piece of scrap to demonstrate. I am not planning to side my shop with walnut. 8. These three planes were all made for the same purpose. What were they used for? (a) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_8a.jpg (b) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_8b.jpg (c) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_8c.jpg These planes were used to cut tongue and groove joints. (8a) is a Stanley #48 tongue and groove match plane. With the fence in the position shown, both cutters are exposed and the plane cuts a tongue. When the fence was rotated on the center pivot pin, only one of the cutters is exposed and the plane cuts the matching groove as shown in the following photo: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...y_48_fence.jpg (8b) is a Stanley #148 which did the same thing depending on which direction you push it. (8c) is a wooden body plane made by H. Chapin which was the early equivalent of the #148 9. These planes were all manufactured by Stanley. What are the model numbers of these planes? (a) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_9a.jpg (b) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_9b.jpg (c) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_9c.jpg (d) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_9d.jpg (e) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_9e.jpg (f) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_9f.jpg (9a) These are Stanley #40 scrub planes. The camera makes the one with rosewood handles look larger than the one with beech handles (older), but they are actually the same size. (9b) This is a Stanley #112 scraper plane. It is basically the same plane as the #12 discussed above under (3a) but with a plane body and tote (handle). (9c) This is a Stanley #278 rabbet and filletster plane (fence not shown) -- it is kind of a funky looking plane http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/stanley_278.jpg (9d) This is a Stanley #62 low angle block plane -- about the size of a jack plane and with the cutter iron bedded at 12 degrees -- a very useful plane (9e) This is a Stanley #289 rabbet and filletster plane, The cutter iron was set at a skew angle. It is shown here with the fence http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/stanley_289.jpg (9f) This is a Stanley Victor #20 circular plane used in much the same manner as the Stanley #113 circular plane shown below: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/stanley_113.jpg 10. This device was used with a brace. What was it used for? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_10.jpg This is a Stearns and Co. hollow auger used to create a round tenon on the end of a chair spindle or wagon spoke. Often used along with a chamfer or pointing device such as shown in this photo: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...er_pointer.jpg 11. What are the correct names for these two saws? What are these two saws used for? (a) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_11a.jpg (b) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_11b.jpg (11a) is a stair makers saw used along with a chisel and router plane while trenching out stringers, making slots for stair treads or risers, and cutting dadoes. (11b) is an old Simonds apple wood handled compass saw with a tapered blade and with a lot of set to the teeth. This saw was primarily used to cut irregular shapes or round hole in a piece of wood. 12. This is a Stanley marking gauge (scribe). For what purpose was this gauge designed? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_12.jpg This is a Stanley #92 butt and rabbet gauge. It was designed for laying out butt hinges on a door and jam similar to the familiar #95: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65...butt_gauge.jpg Because of its versatility, it could also be used to layout mortise and tenon joints 13. This device was made by Goodell Pratt. What was it called? (a) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_13a.jpg How did it work? Here is a hint. (b) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_13b.jpg This is a chain drill. The operator would wrap the chain around a beam or a post and insert the loose end into a slot in the tool. With each revolution of the brace a steel pin would rotate a star wheel which in turn would rotate a gear and draw the bit into the object being drilled. 14. The following two planes are both smoothing planes. In what country were they made? (a) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_14a.jpg (b) http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_14b.jpg (14a) is an ECE Primus smoother made in Germany (14b) is a Norris 5A infill smoother, made in London, England 15. This spokeshave was often called the cigar shave. Who manufactured this tool? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_15.jpg This spokeshave was made by Millers Falls 16. What is this device called? What was it used for? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_16.jpg This is a Stanley #386 jointer gauge which was clamped to the side of a fore or jointer plane to assist is keeping the sole of the plane at a pre-determined angle, usually 90 degrees. Here is a photo of the jointer gauge attached to a fore plane: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/386_in_use.jpg 17. What was this tool used for? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_17.jpg This is a leatherworkers cutting gauge used for cutting leather strips. It was often used to cut leather harness straps for horse or mule teams. The last three are more difficult. Each shows pieces which have been removed from a woodworking tool. 18. What are these? From what tool were they removed? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_18.jpg These are the body with round and flat shoes (bases) of Stanley #67 Universal spokeshaves: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/stanley_67.jpg 19. These are accessories used with a Stanley tool. What tool are they used with? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_19.jpg These are the fence (guides) and a cutter from a Stanley #66 beading tool: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/stanley_66.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/stanley_66_2.jpg 20. From what Stanley tool was this piece removed? http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/tool_quiz_20.jpg I thought this would be harder to guess. It is the adjustable skate, often called the tower, which came with a Stanley #55 plane. It is often missing from these planes. Here it is shown in place at the front of the plane: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/stanley_55_2.jpg Ken Vaughn Visit My Workshop: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65/ Hand Tools Page: http://home.earthlink.net/~kvaughn65k/handtools.html |
