Période

Presumably used c. late 1890s- late 1940s.

Canada

Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966), an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa, ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library, Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920, he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area, retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack, who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1]

Fonction

Plane used for rough preparation of surface by removing the irregularities left by a saw. Body supports cutting blade, and ensures straight, level movement of tool over work surface.

Technique

One of the most common of all bench planes, the Jack plane is often the first plane to be used in preparing a surface. The cutting edge of the iron is slightly rounded in order to remove large shavings without the edges scoring the wood. Sometimes called a Fore plane, particularly by joiners, because it is used 'before' other planes or finishing tools. [Ref. 4] Although shorter than standard, because of it's overall design and distinctive of handle style this plane has been tentatively identified as a German Jack plane. [Ref. 3, p. 333]
