Does anyone know how to close down the mouth of these little jewels?
The mouth is rather wide. The plane makes very nice shavings but they
are a bit thick! I posted a picture of mine and it's shavings in ABPW. I
flattened the sole and sides, scary sharpened the blade. You can see it
all on the glass and sandpaper.

Didn't think of that approach. JBweld is supposed to work for
this type of application. IIRC it can be tapped so should hold up
to planing.

The adjustment is as follows: Unscrew the lever cap screw.
Replace all parts (including it) with a #60-1/2.
Done!

The Stanley 110 isn't even a particularly good paperweight. And to put in
a Hock blade is good money after bad.
Strangely enough, the Stanley 60 1/2 is probably the least used block plane
in the tool drawer. The LN 9 1/2, on the other hand...

I'd be willing to provide the Stanley for your long term test, next time
you're in Vallejo.
The LN brings to mind the concept of prying from cold, dead hands.

Guys I was thinking of Jeff Gormans ideas on how to close down the mouth of
a metal plane, which I cannot figure out either. I have the current model of Stanley
9-1/2... I just "like" the old basic tools as well so I want to use it. Thanks for helping.

Won't work on a bevel-up plane, like a block.

Hey, send it up to me. I'll test it against the Stanley and write
up a review, then return it to you within the next decade or so.

No, the LN. I have the little Stanley and use it nearly every visit to
the shop. Just loverly.

Oh, darn. We'll see in July, then. <evil grin>

I haven't tried this, but you might try shimming under the blade. Or, just
go get a decent plane. (sez the owner of a #220...)
Getting a little silly, but what about Liquid Steel? Make a new mouth...
