Pattern Makers Woodworking Planes
Small
Pattern Makers Planes This is a
very unusual set of different radius pattern makers planes. There are
6 planes in the set with two of them having integral rear handles built in.
They appears to be made of some sort of fruitwood. Overall the planes are approx
6" long without the tail.

Small
Pattern Makers Plane This is a very
unusual size and form pattern makers plane. It has 5 bottoms and 4 cutters.
It appears to be made of some sort of fruitwood. It is marked W. Crompton
in two places on the body which I assume was the maker / owner maker. The
fitted box for the cutters is very nice and the cutters are well made and sharp.
One of them is marked Jessup & Son Cast Steel "Green Label". The rest look to be
from the same stock but are unmarked. Overall the plane is 8" long,
and the cutters are 1 1/4" wide. The bottom of the plane has two brass slot
affairs let in that locks the the bottoms to the base of the main body. The
plane is sound and nice overall.

Simplex
Pattern Makers Plane This to is
a unusual form pattern makers plane. It has 6 bottoms and cutters cut
in a concave as opposed to convex as is more typical with these planes. Each of
the bottoms is marked / stamped with a radius #. They are 5, 8, 12,
18, 24, and 48, It appears to be a manufactured piece with the casting of
the plane body carrying the name Simplex. The cutters look to be homemade andare
a bit crude looking. The plane is sound and nice overall.

Pattern
Makers Plane This pattern makers
plane is the nicest and most complete
of the lot I picked up recently from the consignor. It also looks to be the
earliest as well. It has 14 marked bottoms and 15 cutters that were made from
Stanley block plane cutters. The logo on most of the cutters is the half circle
in Block letters which would date them from the late 1880's. One has a slightly
later logo, and one seems to be cut straight and not part of the set. Each
of the wood bottoms is marked / stamped with a radius #. They are 4, thru
48, The bottoms are held in place with four countersunk screws in each
base. The plane measures 12" long and utilizes a cam like pin in the
adjuster slots on the back of the cutters to adjust the depth of cut. The
lever cap is a solid casting and again there is a Stanley like locking feature where
when you move the lever at the top, and the eccentric nature or thickness of the
round portion locks the cap and cutter in place. Much like an early 9 1/2.
The handle and knob are very nice. The plane is sound and nice overall. A
very nice example.

Pattern
Makers Plane This pattern makers
plane is made with Stanley #3 Type 5 first lateral parts fitted to a cast brass
/ gunmetal body. It is very well done and in nice condition. The
maker cut a slot in the front and another just behind the frog so the different
bottoms could be locked on. There are 4 different bottoms, and
1 cutter made from a Sargent cutter to fit the convex bottom now on the plane.
The extra bottoms are unmarked and all of them seem flat. This may have been
a project that was not completed or ?????. The plane is sound and nice
overall.
