This FAQ is designed to address the most frequently asked
questions about antique tools on Rec.ww. It also includes some
questions that in the opinion of the author should be asked more
frequently ;-). It is designed to complement Ken Smith's
excellent Handtool.FAQ which has appeared in Rec.ww for some
time. Some important questions concerning the use of old tools
have already been addressed there: i.e., basic tuning of a hand
plane, saw sharpening, etc. Ken also provides an extensive
bibliography and guide to tool collecting organizations. I
learned most of this stuff here in Rec.ww, so kudos to all the
folks who posted this stuff originally.
This Faq emphasizes iron planes, since the bulk of traffic
concerns them.
