>As a fitting tribute to General McAuliffe at Bastogne and his Christmas reply to the attackers, I present photographic evidence of Barry's handiwork. The dark little one in the center is an original. The new ones need a little file work finishing and some buffing.

>Are these 12's and 12.5's really worth their salt? Seems to me that either a 112 or 212 would be the way to go as you'd be able to put more downward pressure on the them, plus be easier to control/steer.

I ask because I had an opportunity to pick one up yesterday but decided not too.

Good job on the rehabbing Jim, I don't see why anybody should raise a fuss over such quality work, but if they do, than oh well. Perhaps they are upset over being "robbed" of the spare parts that a non-complete plane plane would be good for.

>The #12 seems to go for quite a bit less than the 112 because most people want the 112 for a scraper plane. In actual experience in my shop, I hardly ever use a scraping plane. I thought I had to ahve one, and have both the #12 and #112 but I can't think of one time when I actually used them more than just to play around with them. About a year ago I added the set of hand held scraper blades that LV sells to an order I got from them and I find myself reaching for several different thicknesses of those on just about every project.

>A 12 or similar down to lowley 80 are fine scrapers. The 12 series give you enough freedom in blade adjustment to get your self in as much trouble as a 112 can clause er... cause. The neat thing is you can pull 12's where you cant pull a 112. Well you can but it's a bit uncomfortable...
