A quick look at Dick Lynch's book "Collecting Titan Chisels" would indicate it is a type 101 being a heavy firmer (registered) chisel and because of the blade stamp, "Titan Guaranteed," from late fifties to early sixties before the association with Stanley. I assume it is 1/8" as the stamp is on the side of the blade (not enough room on the face where it would normally be.
The type 101 together with the 106 (bevel edge) were the heavy duty work horses of the Titan range (together with the socket chisels). I don't think they made a mortice chisel as such, but your chisel is close enough to that thickness by the look of it. Good pick up.

Thanks Paul, it’s actually about 4 mm thick.Quote:

I'm building a clay plane. We had enough free wood this week. More branches down.
Matt said I have to announce tonights topic. He had to go home for a Nanna Nap after helping me rescue some more Blackwood. So tonights topic is what do you do with excess wood. All welcome, come and listen to the chat.
What's "Excess Wood"? Please explain.Quote:

World wants Ocky Oars

ED McIlwain never imagined he would spend his retirement in his shed building an international business - but he has.
This week Mr McIlwain, owner of Ocky Oars, has sent his first box of dragon boat paddles to Malaysia and Singapore and he hopes it will be the first of many overseas shipments.
Mr McIlwain was frustrated with the price of buying boat oars so when he retired he played around with the idea of manufacturing his own.
He built a special machine to shape the oars in one go.
"It's a conglomerate of a couple of other machines,'' he said.
"Nobody else uses this process.''
Then he got a call from a man in Western Australia who asked about dragon boat paddles and if it would be possible for Ocky Oars to make them.
Once they decided the idea was something they would like to pursue, a sample had to be sent to Canada and England.
"They had to approve whether you could have a licence to manufacture them,'' Mr McIlwain said.
Dragon boat paddles differ to normal oars in shape, size and weight.
"They are built to an international standard by the International Dragon Boat Federation, which is controlled by a committee in Europe,'' Mr McIlwain said.
"The specification book is about an inch thick.
I can't make this Sunday because of my work commitment. Semi retirement seems to be interfering an awful lot!
Anyhow I was tasked with researching Jacaranda timber following on from the logs I grabbed from a neighbour.
The species is a native of South America, Argentina in particular, although I think I might have said Brazil (it comes from there too). It has been introduced to many sub tropical regions around the world including Australia of course. There are nearly fifty species in the general grouping which is why it sometimes seems to be called Rosewood and various other names, but those are for others in the group.
The type we see is referred to as Jacaranda Mimosifolia and has the classic mauve flower.
As far as uses for woodworkers are concerned it apparently carves and turns well and is used for pen blanks too. We actually had to look no further than our own Forum for info:
Jacaranda timber (woodworkforums.com)
It looks from that discussion as though it is pretty versatile. Somewhere I saw that it has a density of 615kg/m³, which makes it one of the lighter hardwoods. There are another two trunks still to come down next door so I might look at grabbing those too.
Regards
Paul
We use a lot of jacaranda around here, mostly for turning - there was a lot of it planted and big trees are often felled or blown over in storms. It’s very easy to turn and has an interesting grain pattern. It’s also quite a stable wood (it moves with the seasons, but by similar amounts radially and tangentially so maintains it shape fairly well) and not too difficult to dry out successfully. Personally I wouldn’t use it for joinery if strength is required, it’s not strong particularly strong, and even the live trees are weak, and have a reputation for dropping branches. For smaller items or where strength isn’t an issue it can make a lovely contrast to darker woods.
