Période

Presumably used c. late 1890s- late 1940s; possibly also used earlier.

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

Used for finishing the surface and edges of long boards.

Technique

Also known as jointer or long planes, these planes typically have a flat sole, double cutting iron bedded square, and the shavings outlet located on top of the stock. 'Common Pitch' 45-degree angle-set irons are used for cutting soft woods; 'York Pitch' of 50-degree angle-set irons are used on hardwoods. [Ref. 3] This iron appears set at 45-degree angle.
