saw? Explanation: Been searching the web and came up with nothing there, but my guess is that it is some kind of saw, that's the only thing I can think of with teeth. Hope my guess can lead you in some kind of direction, otherwise just toss it away. |

planes Explanation: Starting with http://www.kulturkoppra.se/askersby/page119.htm which has Jan Nilsson’s estate list and contains "...l Handsåg, l foghöfvel, 6 mindre höfter, l Swarfstol ..." , then knowing fog = groove or joint and guessing 'höfvel' is old spelling for 'hyvel', I worked out theat foghöfvel = joint or rabbet plane. I then took a leap of imagination and guessed that as they followed in the list, mindre höfter = smaller planes. That led me to the reference. So the translation you seek might be ”planes with and without teeth” accepting that tooth is an alternative to blade. https://anthonyhaycabinetmaker.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/the-toothing-plane-a-tool-of-our-time/ |
