Frog Screws Interchangability *LINK*

Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native, Presently Away

>I just won a frog for my round cheek 606 off of der-bay, but it does not come with screws. I'm wondering if any of the frog screws out of a non-bedrock can be used instead. I suppose I could take some of my "extra" planes apart and find out, but fiqured perhaps somebody else had already tried that and knew the answer. Also, did these frog screws used washers or was the head itself big enough not to go thru the slot?

I got this 606 base a few years ago under the "free tree" at a MWTCA meet. All it had was the frog adjustment screw. Since I now have a frog for it I guess I'll have to round up the the rest of the missing hardware such as the rod and screw for the tote and rod for the knob, and either make or buy a tote and knob. Acquiring the blade, chipbreaker and lever cap should be easy enough.

>of the Stanley parts are interchangeable. I would be surprised if regular frog screws would not work. Seems to me that the easy solution is to find a complete and tricked out #6 on the 'bay. They are pretty reasonably priced and are an excellent source of parts. Good luck with your new project.

>I just might try that---one of these days. ;~) Gotta get the frog first tho. No sense finding out they'll fit, but turn out to be too short.

Fiqured if anybody knew one way or the other before I got the frog than I could be searching now for the screws.

Rusted beyond all hope #5's? Where?! Where?!

#5's that are sitting around taking up space and will proably nevcer get used by me. Yeah, got about a dozen of those. I don't bother to buy 'em anymore either.

#3's in a display cabinet? Yeah, I wish. They're sitting on open shelves gathering dust. I still buy those if I can get 'em cheap enough. Why? I dunno. They'll never make me rich in my lifetime like #1's are doing now, but maybe when my daughter is an old lady they will her. Who knows. Coarse, finding a #3 around here is pretty rare. Wish I lived in Old Tool Hell. ;~)

>Todd Fear not if you can keep her from doing any thing stupid why she is bask onleave this one time she will probably forget that one. I am betting that during Basic traning she has realized how inmature men really are and will be setting her standards a little higher than the current boyfriend is. I wish her saftey and happiness in her next assignment. Be carefull my friend I'll put a $20 on it that she can kick your ass now.

Yeah ernie, you know that's a safe bet, as I'd let her win anyhow.

I will say that she is a fiesty little thing, and when push comes to shove she always could and would stand her ground quite firmly.

On the Fatherly Prejudice issue, I merely think that she can do better. Boyfriend is 26 years old now, still lives with mommy, and dosen't have a single thought past the current moment he is living in, and I usually doubt he has one even then. He's from the mindless Nintentendo Generation. now, this is certainly not to say that all kids of this generation is mindless, but I feel that most of them are for the most part, and are very slow to mature. coarse, there is exceptions, but as the word implies, they are the exceptions and not the rule.

These are stricly my own opinions of this generation.
