One of a Kind Curved Panel Raiser Plane
What a unique plane. My first thought was since the integral fence did it’s job as does the integral stop, why the need for a three arm “reverse stop” for lack of a better term, attached to the bottom of the plane? Well, this allows the user to work different thicknesses of stock with one plane. The edge is reduced to the desired thickness and then the reverse stop is adjusted. Now the final skim passes are taken making a perfect, uniform edge. Will it work? See for yourself .The stamp on the iron is a thing of beauty in and of it self. A horned plane with the maker’s initials “IABS” carved in the side. Above that is “I.A.Braunschweig” and three stars. The ca. 1826 mark of Joh Arnolt Braunschweig of Remscheid Ger. The iron is 1 5/8” wide. Now, what is the purpose of this plane? It creates a 48” diameter curved, raised panel. Perhaps a decorative panel above a door. I talked to Jack Whelan about it and he called it a bucket bottom plane. For large 48” coopered troughs. According to Jack’s book the only known description of this tool is of a specimen located in the Musee du Boisin Lausanne Switzerland. They call it a “rabot pour fonds de seilles” or pail bottom plane. The plane is French or German in appearance and looks like birch. It’s unsigned, 7” long and 2 ¾” wide. It can cut a moulding up to ¾” deep making it practical for use on stock from ¾” to 1 ½” thick. W113 $375
