The adjustable mouth works pretty muc...Hello Martin<br />The adjustable mouth works pretty much like the mouth on the Stanley block planes with an adjustable mouth.<br />The idea of an adjustable mouth is that you can make the gap in front of the blade narrower if you are going to plane some difficult grain.<br /><br />The same feature is on most metal bodied planes as well, but on some of them it is a little bit more work to do the adjustment.<br /><br />I use hand planes to some extent, and I very rarely adjust the mouth, so it is a nice feature, but not at all necessary. <br /><br />Regarding the prize of such a plane, I would say that it depends on a lot of things, such as where in the World you are located, condition etc.<br /><br />JPBO were the top Danish plane manufacturer as far as I am concerned. And the smoother with adjustable mouth was top of the line, so it was a very good plane when it was made. <br />A wooden plane has the advantage of the sole being easily flattened, so unless it is beaten to death, it should be fairly easy to get the plane back to its full potential.<br />The old E.A. Berg irons are the best money can buy if you ask me. I have seen just the blade with cap iron for sale on ebay for 30 $.<br /><br />But if you lived in Sweden for instance, you could probably find a similar blade for 10$<br /><br />It takes a bit of practise to be able to set up a wooden smoothing plane, because you do the adjustment of the blade by tapping the top of the blade, or the back of the plane. This is where a metal plane is easier to set up.<br />A wooden plane will slide far easier over a piece of wood to be planed, so it is all a matter of taste.<br /><br />I would really prefer not to give a suggestion to how much you should pay for the plane, since I haven't seen it. To my knowledge, the JPBO's aren't very sought after as collectibles, so the price should reflect the price of a good user plane, and not that of a collectors item. <br /><br />I hope it helped a bit.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-9529229031651171852015-09-24T23:39:57.301-07:002015-09-24T23:39:57.301-07:00That wooden smoothing plane looks great.

It's got at least four different woods in the makeup o0f the body and EA Berg irons. What should I pay for it?Martin Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049089404427771031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-37891170821522032472013-05-04T10:57:31.811-07:002013-05-04T10:57:31.811-07:00I have thought about the hinge part, but I can'...I have thought about the hinge part, but I can't quite see how it is supposed to work. I think I'll have to try it some day.<br /><br />I have never considered the marking gauge to be difficult to adjust. You set it to your desired measurement, and press the center wedge. Since it pushes to the smaller side wedges, and not directly on the sticks containing the small pointed brads, the setting does not change.Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-53709572158086040002013-05-04T06:31:22.336-07:002013-05-04T06:31:22.336-07:00I can see many advantages to this marking gauge. ...I can see many advantages to this marking gauge. I am fascinated with the wedges, though. It looks like some kind of triple wedge system. Is it difficult to adjust with precision?<br /><br />I love your jointer.<br /><br />And I think the first plane you don't know what it is is some kind of butt mortise chisel. Only this one has two fences. Perhaps it is a single purpose tool for a particular size of hinge. The wide open mouth is for visibility. Probably by the time you figure it out, you could cut a hundred butt mortise hinges with a chisel.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.com
