>Can anyone help me date a #65 stanley block plane? It has the knuckle joint cap. The left side is stamped "No. 65". Black japanning,"MADE IN USA" in raised letters in the bed under the adjuster. Both knobs are steel.The iron only has a tiny logo with "stanley" printed in it and "made in usa" under that ,all on the top of the iron.Thanks.---Jack

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.
