Stanley #8

[T.R.MacMunn]

Any of you guys have a Stanley #8 jointer-plane? I'm designing a sign for a high-end wood shop, & it will have a "retro" look.
I need a reference pic taken perfectly broadside, if possible. Everything I see when I "google" Stanley #8 is taken so you can see the the width of the plane as well. This makes a much better photo, but it's not what I need for this project ........

TR, if you don't have any luck, I have a Stanley #7 Jointer I could shoot some pics of. The #7 is 2 inches shorter & 1/4" narrower but otherwise very similar.

TR. You could try this as well.

Don't have a Stanley, but I have a Lie-Nielsen No 8 jointer.

You have to be a real man to use one of these

Thanks guys ...... Russell, that's EXACTLY What I need for reference ... may I use it?
You're a great judge of fine single-malt Scotch Whisky & there are damned few of us left .......

[David Warkentin]

I've got one I think if you need another pic

I took that picture specifically so that you could use it!

Russell .... the pic is perfect ... I can't thank you enough. Here's what the sign it's going on might look like.....
The red & gray things on the outsides of the dentils will be corbels.
Customer has approved with some minor changes ...
I still have to toolpath it. I'll end up handcarving the curved handles on the plane. ... I'm nowhere near smart enough to model that, & besides, it's likely less than 10 minutes of handcarving ....

Thank you again ...

Yep it ain't for wussies.

Yep it ain't for wussies.

Which is why mine still looks new after 15 years! (It must be that I just take really good care of it. . .)
