Used a #75 bullnose today
Jack Guzman from Maine
>Hey,I found a use for my #75 Stanley today.I decided after glue-up that I wanted a rabbet to hold the back on a letter box I'm building.So much for preplanning.
I scored the thickness and width of the rabbet and started to clean it out with a chisel.Then I tried a #140,too short a run to be useful. Tried my LV shoulder and that cleaned it some but the rabbet stops againgst a shelf so I could only work out some of it.Then I looked up to the shelf where that lonely plane,the #75,lives and took it down. I set the iron to the correct side and when I tried it in the rabbet it finished it except for about a 1/4 inch against the shelf that I then cleaned with the chisel. Moving the iron flush with the other side it was able to work there as well.
So,I guess what I'm saying here is that my #75 is not useless. I was starting to wonder.
