B65-353 JACK PLANE. Rodier Patent. Louis Rodier's patent was for his faucet-handle adjustment mechanism, intended to simultaneously regulate the set of the cutter and the width of the mouth, but his planes (manufactured by the Laflin Manufacturing Co.), are best known for their corrugated sides and the serpentine grooves cast into the sole that have earned them the nickname of the "squiggly plane." This one is in the 14-1/2" jack plane size, with a 2" Buck Bros. cutter, patent date cast into lever cap. Metal has been carefully cleaned, japanning nearly intact, wood very clean. From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 400-800
