Stanley #95 Edge trimming plane I've had this for a few months and finally got around to using it yesterday. The blade needs sharpening but it did a surprisingly good job. Quick and easy.

four.cycle: Keep digging. You may find something that was overlooked.

four.cycle: I haven't found any evidence that it was produced. It kind of looks like the brothers might have been able to make one for themselves.

Here's a strap pipe vise patent given to Wilbert Trethewey of Boston. The name Trethewey is well known for plumbing in Boston. One Trethewey is a plumbing TV star.

I often find vise patents while searching for other things and I file them in case it should come up in the future. Here's a case in point. Just yesterday I found this patent while researching pipe vises and saved it just in case. Wilbert Trethewey was a plumber in Boston. In fact, his...

I posted this AMF Float-Lock Mity7 Vise about a year ago. It was by the same company. That might be what you remember.

A patent apropos for today

dannyr: M&W did indeed have larger schraubstocken. The other page shows Boley and DRGM clamp on styles. Notice they all have holes in their jaw facings.

Well, it turns out....

An unsuspected REED - YOST connection. Both of these snippets were from 1928. The specs are identical including prices.

(This belongs on the Vise information thread but I'll post it here too.) While looking for information about colmal's kit vise I noticed this. I knew Yost had connections to many different vise brands but this one was unsuspected. Both of these catalog snippets were from 1928.

Don't blame me! I just provided the information. What you decided to do with it is your own business. (I think I would have bought it too.)
