| Description : | This plane is wooden with a cutting iron (blade) made of two pieces of iron bolted together. Originally the two pieces came apart, but they are now stuck together. A wooden wedge is inserted into the top of the plane to keep the cutting iron in place. The wooden body of the plane was painted red-brown at one time, but much of the paint has now worn off. The curved handle is nailed onto the body of the plane. |
| Commentaires : | This plane was used by Harry Bulgin and his father before him. Jack planes are often the first plane used to smooth fairly rough surfaces, such as the surface of a piece of lumber. Finer planes could then be used afterwards to provide a smoother finish. A jack plane was a fairly all-purpose plane that could take care of most basic planing needs, like building basic furniture or fitting doors. Because of this, jack planes were a very common and well-used type of plane. Rural Newfoundlanders made a wide variety of wooden items, and this plane may have been used for making everything from boats to buildings to furniture. Most of the men making these items were not trained carpenters. They likely would have used and owned few highly specialized woodworking tools, but a multi-use tool, like a jack plane, would have been an important part of their tool kit. The style of handle on this plane is referred to as an open tote. |
