Période

Presumably used c. 1910 until late 1940s; possibly also used later.

Canada

Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966), an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa, ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library, Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920, he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area, retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack, who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1]

Fonction

Used for grooving, or for making joints.

Technique

Also Plough plane. Versatile plane used to perform a variety of tasks because of its adjustable fence and depth stop, and ability to use a range of plane iron widths [1/8 to 9/16]. Plow plane is, however, more awkward to use, store and transport than the individual specialized planes which can be used to achieve specific results. Modern bench saws, routers and shapers can perform most of the cuts formerly produced by a plow plane. [Ref. 3]
