Description : This is a thin, rectangular wooden plane. A wooden wedge holds the metal cutting iron in place. The cutting edge of the iron is slightly concave. The is a hole, shaped roughly like a rounded triangle, in the wooden body of the plane near the cutting iron. The bottom of the plane has two stepped surfaces, the higher of which is slightly concave.
Commentaires : Jack or fore planes are generally the first plane used to smooth fairly rough surfaces, such as those left by an axe or adze. A jack plane could generally take care of most basic planing needs, such as building simple furniture and fitting doors, and was thus a very common and well-used type of plane. Many men in rural Newfoundland built and repaired a wide variety of wooden items, ranging from houses to boats to furniture. Because most of these men 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. This plane was originally owned by Morgan Engram of Milltown. It was sold to Parsons Lilly of Milltown, father of Clyde Lilly. Clyde Lilly donated it to the museum.
Fonctions : This plane was used for the initial smoothing of rough pieces of wood. The hole near the cutting iron provided an exit for the shavings produced when using the plane.
