Our Own Design Plane Adjusting Hammers
We have commissioned the Chester Toolworks in Chester New Hampshire to make these hammers for us. Based on an existing Chester Toolworks design, these plane adjusting hammers incorporate all of the features that we would have always wanted in a hammer designed to adjust molding planes and other traditional planes that do not have an adjustement mechanism. The replaceable wooden heads on these planes are made from American maple. Maple, while hard, is not so hard as to be likely to damage a molding plane when being tapped with reasonable force. Also, we have made the diameter of the head large enough to help distribute any blows on the rear of the plane. The brass face of the hammer can be used to gently nudge an an iron. Remember, when working with fine antique tools, use common sense and the greatest of care. We are not owners, we are caretakers for future generations.
