Chester Toolworks Plane Adjusting Hammer
This plane adjusting hammer is designed specifically for adjusting the blades and wedges of wooden planes and infill hand planes. The polished brass and Lignum Vitae head is weighted toward the brass striking end and is designed so it won't mar or mushroom your blade like a steel hammer. The Lignum end is of a smaller diameter and is used to tap the heel or toe of the plane to adjust the blade without leaving dent marks in the wooden body. It should also be used to tap plane wedges tight to prevent damaging the heel of the wedge. The handle is individually shaped from quartersawn White Ash with the grain oriented to avoid the runout which weakens many other hammer handles. Finished with 3 coats of boiled linseed oil, the handle provides a good grip and avoid the slipperiness of the more commonly used lacquer finish.
