    I’ve got a couple of Stanley 50’s, and they work beautifully. The problem is trying to get cutters for them. When I can find them at all, they’re so expensive it’s just not worth buying them. And that’s a shame, because even though the 50 was basically a poor man’s 45, it could do almost anything the 45 and 55 could do. Guess I’ll just have to try to make my own cutters!

    I always wanted to have one in my woodworking shop but when I see one in the antique store its missing parts or its trash bad and pricey $$$ I’ll get one soon I hope.

    Who make that tiny bow saw you had behind you to YOUR left. It’s super tiny. I love it. I just don’t know it’s practicality.

    thanks for your video! i have a record 405 as well as a stanley 45 and 55. in the past i just „collected“ them, i didn‘t use them. That will change soon, in my new shop i intend to learn a lot about these complicated looking planes and put them to use. your video provided some insight. well done!
