For Y'all George Miller Shoulder Plane

I bought this Miller shoulder plane on due east Bay recently, it's 8" long in addition to 1 1/2" wide.

George Miller worked from 1890 to 1914 in addition to specialised inward these heavy gunmetal shoulder planes amongst a sweated on steel sole. Apart from his London address I can't notice out whatsoever to a greater extent than data on him, is at that topographic point anyone out at that topographic point who knows whatsoever to a greater extent than detail? Are at that topographic point whatsoever collectors of his planes?

The vogue of the bronze casting is beautiful in addition to distinctive in addition to didn't alter during his working years, which is helpful equally the bulk of his planes weren't stamped. Fortunately this i was. Nearly all are 1 1/2" broad but I accept seen 1 1/4" models amongst the identical profile.

The infill was ever rounded nicely in addition to had a curved front end travelling pocket which is real comfortable to hold. Occasionally the infill extended beyond the metallic in addition to examples amongst a 'rhino horn' accept equally good surfaced. The infill fabric seemed to vary, this i is walnut but almost were ebony or rosewood. The cast of the wedge equally good varied quite a bit, this i isn't equally attractive equally merely about but is real supportive.

The irons are made yesteryear Marples on all the examples I accept seen in addition to the rima oris is ever dainty in addition to tight. If you lot ever comes across i of these they brand cracking user planes equally good equally beingness real collectable.
