Lol, Its the whole reason I have kept one wall completely bare. I bet you loved seeing how many spoke shaves I got in this box. Lol, I watched your video and chuckled.
I get very excited when i find old tools. I especially cant resist old chisels at$1 or2. I have a record rebate plane,a record cabited scraper and a huge very old wooden jointer plane. I also love making wooden tools .
Me too. We go to antique shops a lot and I scan everything just looking for tools. Love an old chisel though I may have a few too many at this point. I can imagine that making wooden tools is really satisfying too.
I once bought a tool on an auction, and when it turned up, it had my surname engraved on the back. None of the photos showed that angle. The seller had no idea who owned it, just that it came from some old garage in the countryside. Noone in my family knows of a family member living out that way, and its not a common surname. Definitely a keeper. Aside, it was an old-school speed-meter for a drill,the sort you press against a spinning chuck to read the RPMs.
Hi Mark, Wow!! you have done well there with those old tools. I do have a collection of old hand tools, I do have one of those wooden hand planes and it still works well also two old planes I think from the 1950's a Record No 6 and a Stanley No 5. I got 4 Spear and Jackson hand saws 2 of tenon saw a Pax hand saw and tenon saw identical to the one you have. Most of the tools were given to me from old sheds some from the local carboot sales. But I had lot of tools of my Taid ( Welsh for Grandad ) when he past away in 1984 and my Dad got his shed it must be 70 years old and it still solid . Back in 2012 I bought a collection of tools in its home made wooden case from a retired carpenter and cabinet maker all the tools he used in the 1940's to the early 1980's they were looked after and good as new but well used he said I could have the lot for £50 I was gob smacked he told me what he did and showed me old photos of some of his work. I said to him No I cant give you £50 for a life time worth of tool that meant so much to him he was such a lovely old gent I said no not £50 I give him £70 this was the only time I went the other way on a offer and it was worth it. Have fun with cleaning those tools and If that was my saw I would polish it and put it up as a display piece. As always a great video catch you soon, have a good weekend
Wow Shaun. Thank you for sharing. I have one tool from my grandfather and it is the only hand plane that I have refurbished to working order but I never use. It's not especially high end, Woden I think, but I just love having it. That carpenters box sounds amazing. And well done for offering a little more. That would have meant a lot to him. He would have been pleased knowing you saw the real value in his tools. And to have a box for them too. Thats one of the things that my collection needs. Thank you again bud.
Some of those are aesthetically beautiful. Making beautiful ornaments. I just love looking at old tools…and admiring the skills that made them. Enjoyed this. 🎉
That I think has to be the plan. With making videos I just cant use all of them. So my office is about to become a real tool museum. Cant wait. And you are spot on, admiring the skills that made them is just mind blowing. To me as a wood hack anyway lol.
I do a lot of bench work chopping and the person probably cut those chisels down so they would not have to raise their mallet arm so high. In bench production work, every inch you move closer to the work with the mallet makes your strike more accurate and your arm can last the whole day. When I started I used long chisels and now 40 yrs later I love my stubby chisels the most. That is an amazing haul. There is no more greater way to honor a craftsperson than to use their tools in your daily work. (Try to wait till I'm dead though, or you'll get scolded if I catch you lol)
I want to say also that too many people hoard these old tools and build up massive collections. When I run across an old #4 etc I will clean it up and give it to a kid and tell them to bring it and their parent to the shop so I can show them how it works. Another point- don't have a collection and die without having a plan for someone other than your grieving family to dispose of the collection. I would love it if content creators like yourself got this really important message out. I get asked to do this by a lot by people who want to do right by their loved ones and they have so much added stress and grief after the fact. Plan for it yourself.
Wall art is a lovely idea. I have to clean them up and see what comes out. Im thinking about maybe displaying a fair few in my office. But then I feel guilty as they should be used.
Nice purchase Mark, congratulations. You probably have already discovered the following, but I'm halfway through the video & couldn't hold back: That "pointy thing" is a draw bore tennon tool to align the offset holes to tighten up the joint in order to drive the dowels. That small to medium saw's medallion looks like it says "warranted superior" - those were (off-brand saws made by Henry Diston to sell to hardware stores to offer st a lower price) Diston made very nice saws, esp the older ones. Apologies for the long-winded comment, apparently I'm excited as well😄. Again, great score.
[Sorry, commented too early below] P.s. Mark, the Stanley 80 cabinet scraper is missing a crucial part. There's a threaded hole in the back that takes a thmbscrew. That screw is what "advances" the cutter by bowing the plate giver a deeper cut. The #80 is invaluable when you run into grain that refuses to be hand planed. You can probably find a replacement screw online or even find a hardware store replacement (just don't strip those threads lol).
Hi David. Thank you for all the advice. Brilliant. I actually found that a t track sliding bolt had the same thread. Ironically none of my other stanley tools did. I did not know that a draw tenon was or that one of the saws was a Diston off brand. Thank you so much for sharing. I knew I would learn more in the comment section than online.
@@startmaking1 my pleasure Mark. I enjoy your content & get immersed in the excitement as I do similar things (woodworking, buying used tools to refurbish, etc). It does appear that the vast majority of Stanley's older tools have been tapped & bolts threaded at crazy rare & unusual pitches/thread count (possibly for proprietary reasons?) That's great the the t-track bolt fit the 80, excellent idea. Keep up the good work.
You made your money back on the router plane. The saws are great too. Never got on with combination planes but love to collect moulding planes - far more usable. Enjoy using what you keep!
If I am honest, I have tried the combination planes a few times and a lot depends on whether I nail the set up first time. If I dont then it is a long and frustrating experiment. I seem to get a load of these moulding planes in each lot I buy but unless I am going to fill the back wall with them I dont think I will ever have the time and patience to get good use from them. Plus if I display them it is kind of like saying I am a carpenter to everyone watching, rather than the amateur hobbyist I really am.
What a buy! Congratulations! I’ve got a bit of envy burning in my chest now. I really have to finish setting up my workspace so I can get started using my tools.
seeing this video reminds me of my father, he dose the same thing, as in sees old stuff and fixes it up. a long time ago he got a house that was over one hundred years old and the shed that came with is was packed with all sort of antiques tools, furniture and stuff. Added: if any of the original makers are still in operation try seeing if they want to buy it, it is amazing how often they are missing things in older things they never thought of collecting at the time.
What a great comment bud. I would have loved finding that shed. So much history and fun in one place. I will do some research on the makers too. good idea. Thank you
If I’d seen that lot in the auction you wouldn’t have won it😊 A great selection, the wood planes are wonderful and in great condition and are worth more than you paid for everything in more ways than one. I can see nothing that isn’t a little gem. A fantastic buy Enjoy!!
Brings back some memories. Sadly, I sold many of my grandfather's woodworking tools. The guy who purchased them said he would've paid double what I was asking 😢. Both grandfather's worked with wood. One self-taught and the other trained. One produced some amazing carvings and the other reproduction furniture (Arthur Brett and Sons - Norwich). It's only now that I wish I'd kept hold of those tools, and perhaps savoured more time in my grandfathers' shed... my great-grandfather was a Cooper by trade, so I'm guessing he had almost as many spoke shaves as you 😂
Hi Iain. Thank you as always. Sorry to hear you sold the tools. But if they are getting used thats nice too. To be honest I would never have thought about keeping old tools until a few years ago. And we cant keep everything just in case. Sounds like woodworking is in your genes.
Probably already been discussed, but those planes that I think you call router planes that have the wooden threading are called plow (or plough) planes. They're used for making grooves-- for drawer bottoms, panel door construction, window sashes, etc. The wooden ones are very beautiful, and worth having on a shelf like you've said. A cheap stanley #50 is a great substitute and isn't nearly as hard to set up.
You were beyond lucky young man, you got some awesome tools that are worth far more than you paid, that’s in my most humble tool fanatic person, as I am. Thank you for the video, enjoyed watching.
@@startmaking1 These were used to deliver meat to butchers. Unfortunately, they have been replaced by disposable packaging but there are still a few about as seen in your video.
Hi there! Thanks for WWGA offer, all signed up. What a wonderful purchase, I love cleaning this stuff up and finding out what I can do, you sir got a brilliant deal I am envious. Your videos have become very very good and one I believe was as near perfect as one could achieve. Wish I remembered the title…… Keep going you a benefit to UA-cam and your viewers. Kindest Bob England
The crank drill looks like one I have. Notice that it has two sets of gears. Part can be removed and reset which gives you two different gear ratios. Also, the plate at the end of the shaft can be placed against your chest so your body can provide stability and some forward push while you start drilling the hole. I find that it is too big for typical jobs around the shop but it was useful when drilling through 2x4s while constructing a new room in our house. Thanks for another interesting video.
Well Mark I hit that like button about 3 seconds in! Some (a lot) of those tools there I still use in my daily work, what a great find and as always a great video, thank you, stay lucky and keep 'em coming.
Thank you Paul. I got very lucky in truth. Had no idea that the more useful to me tools were in there. I like how you have said stay lucky in each comment and I do genuinely feel lucky at this point. Thank you.
Looks like one of the planes you had there is a moving fillister. Absolutely amazing bit of kit and I have a vintage one adourning a shelf in my house. Fantastic haul!
Draw knife is for removing (peeling) bark from wet/green wood.. Shaping dry wood is done with the spoke shaves. I have a side by side with 2 irons, one convex curved and one straight mounted next to each other. . A rabbet is a corner notch done with Tool #78....... A plough is a notch aka Dado though the center of the wood done with Tool #71 (router plane)
Hi Mark, An interesting haul. I liked the pull blades. I've used them before to make a green wood table. They're a lot of fun. As for the other tools, they were really interesting but I haven't got enough time to learn and master the tools I have, let alone adding some more to the collection. Although the routing plane will be something that I will add at some stage. I like the idea of more refined control than 3000rpm on my router. Looks like you had a lot of fun with this one. (oh, and I signed up to WW Guild. Steal of a price! thx.)
Hi ROger. I got very lucky for sure here. The draw knives are also one of my favourites. Not that I have a clue how to use them. I hear what you are saying about time. It is why I never keep the moulding planes. There are so many and the upkeep, it's just too much. The Stanley 71 router plane has saved me a couple of hundred quid as I was about to buy one from either bang good or veritas so thats a good bit of timing. Control is exactly why I need it. I have started doing rebates and some grooves on the table saw rather than router, only because it is right there so to speak but I need to clean up after making multiple passes. This works a charm. Glad you got the Guild price too. I was really happy when they reached out as I see it as a win win. So much info on there. Happy watching.
Another great video. I’m from Cannock and my grandad worked at Cornelius Whitehouse and sons, they went into liquidation in 67 and I think was then brought by Footprint tools.
Wow, thats amazing. My Dad worked most of his career in Cannock. I actually had to cut some of the video where I mentioned it as the video was running long. I bet your grandad had some cool tools.
A very interesting collection of tools - much nicer and better made than most modern ones. However, when using a hand saw, you should have only the second, third and fourth fingers wrapped round the handle. The index finger should be extended down the side of the handle to give better sideways control.
That is such a cool find. Wow Mark you did really well. The Stanleys alone was more than worth it. The moving filister is very nice. Smoother as well. Simply wonderful buddy. Enjoy! I am envious.
Hi Ian. Hope you are well. The irony is that I didnt spot the Stanleys in the photo at all. And I suspect as they were at the bottom of the boxes that nobody else did either. Very lucky.
@@startmaking1 Very lucky and they look like they have been well taken care of. We are well here thanks and the next project is well underway. I think you are going to really like this one. More on that later. Enjoy your new tools and the rest of the weekend my friend.
WOW. So cool. I wish there were auctions like that in my neck of the woods (Canada). Mind you I'm not sure if I need to add that many potential projects to my already massive to do list. Love your show. It must have been an estate sale. I have a tendency to hold on to more tools than I need so I can appreciate your decision to not keep all of them. I recently gave a kid down the block all my older tools that were gathering dust It was a hard thing to do but i thought of how much i would have appreciated it when I was his age.
It is a double edged sword for sure. Though I wish I had the woods that you guys over the pond seem to have access too. I definitely get jealous of that.
@@startmaking1 I live on the south wast coast of Canada. We have mostly softwoods like Douglas Fir, Cedar a bit of red maple. Believe me, all those lovely hardwoods are as far from me as they are from you. I'm not complaining though, up at my cabin I have all the soft wood i need as long as I'm ready to mill it.
I restore old saws as a passing hobby, in my experience the “warranted superior” are likely to be disston saws. There is a detailed website covering the history of their saw making.
A few good hand tools are never a mistake. I may have gone a little far in the past year so I am not allowed to buy any more before selling or donating some of the ones I wont use.
What a great video. I will take up the Woodworkers Guild of America membership as I am looking to teach or more like show people the safe use of tools. I volunteer at a Community Centre, and I expect there will be many videos that cover the topic, seeing how I only have a basic understanding anyway.
wooden moving filister is an awesome tool... it has a skewed blade... banger. And it will perform better than your stanley 78... especially across grain cuts. the plough plane and blades is also awesome. Back saws... their totes are designed for three fingers in... and index finger extended along side of tote... you will find it a superior feel to hold... :) I have no idea why modern cheap tools make a tote large enough for all fingers to go it... but it is not the correct way to hold. what you called a router plane is a plough plane. The no 80... it is missing a screw essential to operation. ahh. I see you did find that. Love your videos. I am a learner too for last 4 years and have focused on traditional hand tools. I enjoy your videos. Great job!
Wow, thank you for the info Very much appreciated. I have tried a fair few of these since but need to fine tune the planes. The saws are just lovely though.
I, too, had been looking for a Stanley 71 router plane forever (well, one for less than £100) then I found one on Ebay for £30. The interesting thing is that I was kind of "ripped off" (but not really). It was advertised as a "Stanley #71 with an aluminium body". Stanley don't aluminium on these or any planes that I know of. Somebody had obviously cast a Stanley body but all the attachment parts such as the clamp, the iron, and screws were genuine Stanley parts. The body had a steel sole so it was perfectly usable... just a bit of a 'forgery'. For £30, I'm happy to live with that. It works beautifully.
I have to say I'm a bit jealous 😂😂 but in a good way. Some of the tools you got are some I'm looking for myself. They are well kept and very nice! Someone told me that if you treat your tools good then they in turn will be good to you. I know it to be true too. I'm glad to see you got some very nice tools and can't wait to see what you build with them! Have a great day and stay safe, Happy Building 💯😁
I appreciate that bud. Thank you. Whoever told you that was spot on. I get cross with myself if I let a tool get rusty. Unavoidable some years but still makes me want to do better. Have a good weekend.
Oh wow!! That's an incredible buy, just amazing! The old wooden plough planes work better with their original irons, so keep those Atkins irons with the Atkins plane. That rebate plane (think it's a fillister plane?) with the width guide has a skewed iron, I have one and find it gives better results than the 78. The hand router is a real gem and in great condition! "Man buys same tools"... man doesn't have to keep resetting single tool for batch work. I own three 45s which I thought was ridiculous, but I've used the m aall side by side on more than one occassion (just wish I was using them for fun projects rather than DIY projects, ah well).
@startmaking1 yes upside-down so unlike a chisel the bevel wants to be in contact with the timber, and use it like a pivot to dictate how much material to remove 😀 also, great haul what auction did you get it from ?
Pax saw is an excellent find, wooden plough planes are nice but prefer my metal record ones, just remember when you use a plough or rebate plane you start at the end and work backwards otherwise you will just rag the edges of the timber. I have used the Stanley no 80 cabinet scraper all my working life and would never be without it, unable to buy replacement blades from Stanley anymore though. I like you have many old or vintage tools picked up through the years and knowing I was going to use them and not just look at them spurs me on, they truly last beyond many lifetimes.
The Pax saw has been the most used saw I have since cleaning it up. It is just so tactile. It is funny reading how there is a split between people who say wooden plough planes and some that say metal . I love it. The cabinet scraper still needs work but, like you, I suspect it will be getting some work in the future as I use a lot of cabinet scrapers ie card scrapers. So this is a step forwards. I cant wait to delve deeper into the boxes. Thank you for watching.
One of those boxes of tools would be a great find & you got three. With some tuning & a bit of sharpening, you got some first-class hand tools. Had it been me, I would probably have looked hard at those single function molding planes. If the wooden bodies & irons were in great shape, maybe just needing sharpening, I'd keep them because you never know when you'll find others. I didn't see which planes you have, but do you make moldings for some of your woodworking? I did notice that large set of cutters in the yellow roll for combination planes are for different sizes of cove moldings. If some of the single purpose wood planes are also for coves, pass them on. If any do quarter rounds, I'd keep them. I assume there are other sets of blades for the combination planes other than what you have. In time, who knows what you'll come across. I also assume that any of the molding plane profiles could be duplicated with router bits. I've been looking for an economical Stanley 71 for about five years. I do have the smaller Stanley whose number I forget. I think I'll just make Paul Seller's cheap one with a 1/2 inch chisel. I look forward to seeing some of your future videos showing how you used some of the tool you obtained in this video.
I consider myself very lucky here. Though, I have forced myself to not look at buying anything more until I have refurbished all of these. The moulding planes are lovely and if I had time, I would love to clean them all up and test them. But for now, I end up boxing them up and popping them back. into the auction for someone else to have. I want to give them the best chance of finding a home where they wont collect dust. The Stanley 71 does need the more useful flat iron rather than the triangle one I have which is great but I prefer the other one. Paul seller's chisel one is brilliant. I have a hags tooth one very similar and once it is dialled in it works very well. You will definitely see these tools integrated into my collection and used. The brass backed saws are all now my go to western saws. Thank you for the info and for the support as always.
The short chisels could be butt chisels, for working in confined spaces where a full-length chisel would be impossible or awkward to manage, or for carrying in a toolbox.
Oh my goodness, Mark, it's Christmas morning! How satisfying is it to use vintage hand tools? I cannot say that I'm not jealous. Part of my problem is that auction sites scare me a bit. I'm afraid of theft of personal information. Is that silly?
It's not silly if you feel it bud. To be honest as this is my local Auction house, all I needed to do was give my name and they take a card for payment in advance. But as I said, like woodworking, if it doesnt feel right to you then avoid it. As for hand tools, man even just cleaning them up is good therapy as far as Im concerned.
@@startmaking1 You got that right. Whenever I start to feel fidgety, it is good for me to either sharpen blades and chisels, or carve something. As always, you've done a cracking job on the video. Best regards...
DBC is Danish Bacon Company. A wholesaler of catering equipment (as well as bacon). Stainless steel never caught on for woodworking - it's a bit harder to sharpen - but has obvious benefits to a butcher cutting bones.
For me your price estimates seem on the high side but as soon as you had the router plane, rebate plane and the cabinet scraper you were in the black. And the draw knives on their own were definitely worth the same again. I quite frequently do something similar myself and now if I bid on anything it's because I can identify one or two items and only bid up to around the amount I consider fair value for them. I lose more auctions but it's a lot easier to justify to myself. A vintage moving fillister plane (wood bodied rebate plane) with all the parts, will quite regularly sell for around 30-40 on its own on eBay, I've no doubt between that and some chisels you could come close to essentially having all of that for free. I'll echo a few others and say I think wood by Wright might be a better channel to look at as a guide to old hand tools for some of those though. If you have a college with a woodworking department near you consider asking if any of the students would be interested in spare tools. It's amazing how many tools you need for maintaining and repairing machinery so even down to pliers sockets, spanners and screwdrivers can help someone starting out.
Yeah, I think that you are right. I just did a quick scan of eBay and a tool selling site. Things are only worth what people pay for them I guess. I try to do what you do . A plane handle or something obvious sticking out the top but I never go to the auction. to view because honestly part of the fun is getting the boxes and delving in them once I know they are mine. Silly really. I love Wood by Wright. He is so knowledgeable but more so just positive and fun too. And it is a really good idea to find a college I will do some research. I was also thinking of a mens shed. Thank you.
Not to bad a haul , at least you will het your money back if you decide to het rid of some of thr stuff . The grind on the chisels is called a hollow grind , think you where calling it a bevel, you should restore the moving fillister plane and get it in to good use . The first draw knife you used is probably French , you could make a video of making a spooeshave with one of tge blades you got as the bodies didnt look up yo much . The wooden planes with the threaded stems are plough planes and the others ones are moving fillisters , the soles looked as if they would Certainly need squared up on the moving fillisters .
It's interesting that the tools you're more excited about are the ones that look used the least. Tools formerly used by a professional that are not worn indicates to me that they're of little usefulness.
Good purchase. Did you look up the name of the person who owned them? Looks like he had his initials on them. Especially when you showed the saws. I'd love a video of some of his work if possible. That would be interesting.
@startmaking1 It's hard with some of those older carpenters. They worked for the pride of their work and it was always word of mouth referrals. Today is a little different.
M8 those wooden plains and draw knifes are stunning love a good draw knife i had one for a bit had give it back but they work amazing for my live edge clean up and those wooden plains well they just look fantastic. Let me no if you want me turn some handles for the draw knives of any the chisel's as few them looked like they needed bit love 🏴👍 speak soon
Hey Michael. hope you are good. The wooden planes have a place in my office as decoration if I dont get to use them . Just lovely to look at. Appreciate the turning offer. I hope it is going well. Sorry not caught up in a while . Take care.
@@startmaking1 yea all good mate couple projects on the go 1 part of 1 finished. Awesome they look amazing to be honest allot the tools in that pile look amazing. No worries on the turning offer any turning stuff just shout you no were I am. All good mate a no your busy catch up soon 👍🏴
Hi, Mark. That's one Beast of a score you made. You have things there people search and drool for. Be very picky, about what you get rid of. Be sure, also, to set a good reserve price, on your auctions. Even those things, missing parts, may be exactly what someone is looking for. Happy shavings. 😁🖖✌
I feel I got a little lucky with the fact that it was covered in so much dust that people just over looked it all. So far in 4 lots that I have done, I am yet to be able to part with anything. Maybe I am being a little too much of a hoarder. Great advice as always though bud. Thank you.

Lol, Its the whole reason I have kept one wall completely bare. I bet you loved seeing how many spoke shaves I got in this box. Lol, I watched your video and chuckled.
Worse things could happen…
I get very excited when i find old tools. I especially cant resist old chisels at$1 or2.
I have a record rebate plane,a record cabited scraper and a huge very old wooden jointer plane.
I also love making wooden tools .
Me too. We go to antique shops a lot and I scan everything just looking for tools. Love an old chisel though I may have a few too many at this point. I can imagine that making wooden tools is really satisfying too.
I once bought a tool on an auction, and when it turned up, it had my surname engraved on the back.
None of the photos showed that angle. The seller had no idea who owned it, just that it came from some old garage in the countryside.
Noone in my family knows of a family member living out that way, and its not a common surname.
Definitely a keeper.
Aside, it was an old-school speed-meter for a drill,the sort you press against a spinning chuck to read the RPMs.
That is mind blowing. And a little like they were coming home. And a cool sounding bit of kit too. Brilliant.
Hi Mark, Wow!! you have done well there with those old tools. I do have a collection of old hand tools, I do have one of those wooden hand planes and it still works well also two old planes I think from the 1950's a Record No 6 and a Stanley No 5. I got 4 Spear and Jackson hand saws 2 of tenon saw a Pax hand saw and tenon saw identical to the one you have.
Most of the tools were given to me from old sheds some from the local carboot sales.
But I had lot of tools of my Taid ( Welsh for Grandad ) when he past away in 1984 and my Dad got his shed it must be 70 years old and it still solid . Back in 2012 I bought a collection of tools in its home made wooden case from a retired carpenter and cabinet maker all the tools he used in the 1940's to the early 1980's they were looked after and good as new but well used he said I could have the lot for £50 I was gob smacked he told me what he did and showed me old photos of some of his work. I said to him No I cant give you £50 for a life time worth of tool that meant so much to him he was such a lovely old gent I said no not £50 I give him £70 this was the only time I went the other way on a offer and it was worth it. Have fun with cleaning those tools and If that was my saw I would polish it and put it up as a display piece. As always a great video catch you soon, have a good weekend
Wow Shaun. Thank you for sharing. I have one tool from my grandfather and it is the only hand plane that I have refurbished to working order but I never use. It's not especially high end, Woden I think, but I just love having it. That carpenters box sounds amazing. And well done for offering a little more. That would have meant a lot to him. He would have been pleased knowing you saw the real value in his tools. And to have a box for them too. Thats one of the things that my collection needs. Thank you again bud.
Some of those are aesthetically beautiful. Making beautiful ornaments. I just love looking at old tools…and admiring the skills that made them. Enjoyed this. 🎉
That I think has to be the plan. With making videos I just cant use all of them. So my office is about to become a real tool museum. Cant wait. And you are spot on, admiring the skills that made them is just mind blowing. To me as a wood hack anyway lol.
That's a great haul for the money. Congratulations!
Thank you . I got lucky I think.
I do a lot of bench work chopping and the person probably cut those chisels down so they would not have to raise their mallet arm so high. In bench production work, every inch you move closer to the work with the mallet makes your strike more accurate and your arm can last the whole day. When I started I used long chisels and now 40 yrs later I love my stubby chisels the most. That is an amazing haul. There is no more greater way to honor a craftsperson than to use their tools in your daily work. (Try to wait till I'm dead though, or you'll get scolded if I catch you lol)
I want to say also that too many people hoard these old tools and build up massive collections. When I run across an old #4 etc I will clean it up and give it to a kid and tell them to bring it and their parent to the shop so I can show them how it works.
Another point- don't have a collection and die without having a plan for someone other than your grieving family to dispose of the collection. I would love it if content creators like yourself got this really important message out. I get asked to do this by a lot by people who want to do right by their loved ones and they have so much added stress and grief after the fact. Plan for it yourself.
Thats is a very good point regarding the chisels.
wow, more good advice. I plan on putting a book together logging everything. Hoping that will help the people who get left with it all .
For a ton you did exceptionally well!!! Plenty of useables which will increase in value, and the rest would be superb workshop wall art!!!
Wall art is a lovely idea. I have to clean them up and see what comes out. Im thinking about maybe displaying a fair few in my office. But then I feel guilty as they should be used.
only 5 min in and you;ve made your money back on that stanley 71. Great find. Epic find.
So very lucky.
Nice purchase Mark, congratulations. You probably have already discovered the following, but I'm halfway through the video & couldn't hold back:
That "pointy thing" is a draw bore tennon tool to align the offset holes to tighten up the joint in order to drive the dowels. That small to medium saw's medallion looks like it says "warranted superior" - those were (off-brand saws made by Henry Diston to sell to hardware stores to offer st a lower price) Diston made very nice saws, esp the older ones. Apologies for the long-winded comment, apparently I'm excited as well😄. Again, great score.
[Sorry, commented too early below]
P.s. Mark, the Stanley 80 cabinet scraper is missing a crucial part. There's a threaded hole in the back that takes a thmbscrew. That screw is what "advances" the cutter by bowing the plate giver a deeper cut. The #80 is invaluable when you run into grain that refuses to be hand planed. You can probably find a replacement screw online or even find a hardware store replacement (just don't strip those threads lol).
Hi David. Thank you for all the advice. Brilliant. I actually found that a t track sliding bolt had the same thread. Ironically none of my other stanley tools did. I did not know that a draw tenon was or that one of the saws was a Diston off brand. Thank you so much for sharing. I knew I would learn more in the comment section than online.
@@startmaking1 my pleasure Mark. I enjoy your content & get immersed in the excitement as I do similar things (woodworking, buying used tools to refurbish, etc). It does appear that the vast majority of Stanley's older tools have been tapped & bolts threaded at crazy rare & unusual pitches/thread count (possibly for proprietary reasons?)
That's great the the t-track bolt fit the 80, excellent idea. Keep up the good work.
You made your money back with the router 🙂
That was a very lucky find. I didnt see it on the photos.
I have one of those, & much more. Advantage of old age.
Good news… the $1 deal is still live! Thanks mate. Didn’t upgrade to Gold though for $9 coz I’m too tight! :-)
Thats brilliant news. I genuinely think this one is a really good deal . I have watched a fair few videos on it.
OMG! As a lover of old auction tools myself this video left me drooling! A find like that? PRICELESS1
I was incredibly lucky.
You made your money back on the router plane. The saws are great too. Never got on with combination planes but love to collect moulding planes - far more usable. Enjoy using what you keep!
Yes, he scored on the router plane. It's a beauty.
If I am honest, I have tried the combination planes a few times and a lot depends on whether I nail the set up first time. If I dont then it is a long and frustrating experiment. I seem to get a load of these moulding planes in each lot I buy but unless I am going to fill the back wall with them I dont think I will ever have the time and patience to get good use from them. Plus if I display them it is kind of like saying I am a carpenter to everyone watching, rather than the amateur hobbyist I really am.
What a buy! Congratulations! I’ve got a bit of envy burning in my chest now. I really have to finish setting up my workspace so I can get started using my tools.
I got very lucky. Very lucky indeed.
Omg! I was looking at router plane, it was $120. Ended up buying cheap crap. 😊 But I love auctions! And old tools! Congrats on the good find!
Thank you. wow $120 Im not sure I could justify paying that. But I do love old tools.
just the Stanley 78 rebates and 71 hand router plane would have made me a happy bunny. the brass backs with nice handles are the icing on the cake.
I agree . The brass backed saws are all not in circulation and they are a pleasure to use.
seeing this video reminds me of my father, he dose the same thing, as in sees old stuff and fixes it up. a long time ago he got a house that was over one hundred years old and the shed that came with is was packed with all sort of antiques tools, furniture and stuff.
Added: if any of the original makers are still in operation try seeing if they want to buy it, it is amazing how often they are missing things in older things they never thought of collecting at the time.
What a great comment bud. I would have loved finding that shed. So much history and fun in one place. I will do some research on the makers too. good idea. Thank you
If I’d seen that lot in the auction you wouldn’t have won it😊 A great selection, the wood planes are wonderful and in great condition and are worth more than you paid for everything in more ways than one. I can see nothing that isn’t a little gem. A fantastic buy Enjoy!!
Lol, I dont need the competition. Though, you are right, I was very lucky here. Honestly I would have been happy with half of it.
That was an extremely lucky buy. Congratulations.
I could not agree more.
The quality of steel from the old tools is far superior than anything you can buy today.
Thank you, I am planning on giving it a darn good test with use.
I love hunting for old tools
It's an addiction for me lol.
Some amazing gems from a time gone by. Time has not diminished there value or use in a powered disposable world
Lovely sentiment. Thank you
That was an absolute steal. Superb selection!
Thank you. I got lucky in truth.
Brings back some memories. Sadly, I sold many of my grandfather's woodworking tools. The guy who purchased them said he would've paid double what I was asking 😢. Both grandfather's worked with wood. One self-taught and the other trained. One produced some amazing carvings and the other reproduction furniture (Arthur Brett and Sons - Norwich). It's only now that I wish I'd kept hold of those tools, and perhaps savoured more time in my grandfathers' shed... my great-grandfather was a Cooper by trade, so I'm guessing he had almost as many spoke shaves as you 😂
Hi Iain. Thank you as always. Sorry to hear you sold the tools. But if they are getting used thats nice too. To be honest I would never have thought about keeping old tools until a few years ago. And we cant keep everything just in case. Sounds like woodworking is in your genes.
Probably already been discussed, but those planes that I think you call router planes that have the wooden threading are called plow (or plough) planes. They're used for making grooves-- for drawer bottoms, panel door construction, window sashes, etc. The wooden ones are very beautiful, and worth having on a shelf like you've said. A cheap stanley #50 is a great substitute and isn't nearly as hard to set up.
Thank you for the info. Much appreciated.
Favorite line … “measuring, marking, pointy thing.” 😂😆🤭
YEah, I am terrible with names of tools and techniques.
You were beyond lucky young man, you got some awesome tools that are worth far more than you paid, that’s in my most humble tool fanatic person, as I am. Thank you for the video, enjoyed watching.
I totally agree. Really lucky. Thank you
The plastic tray they came in is vintage and will have value to someone.
I didnt think of that. Good idea.
@@startmaking1 These were used to deliver meat to butchers. Unfortunately, they have been replaced by disposable packaging but there are still a few about as seen in your video.
Absolutely love your content mate, keep up these glorious videos! You're quite the help to a fledgling beginner like myself. Thank you!
Thank you so much for saying that. I really appreciate it.
Hi there!
Thanks for WWGA offer, all signed up.
What a wonderful purchase, I love cleaning this stuff up and finding out what I can do, you sir got a brilliant deal I am envious.
Your videos have become very very good and one I believe was as near perfect as one could achieve. Wish I remembered the title……
Keep going you a benefit to UA-cam and your viewers.
Kindest
Bob

Hi Bob. Thank you very much. I still remember the advice you posted on one of my very early videos. All well received and very much appreciated.
The crank drill looks like one I have. Notice that it has two sets of gears. Part can be removed and reset which gives you two different gear ratios. Also, the plate at the end of the shaft can be placed against your chest so your body can provide stability and some forward push while you start drilling the hole. I find that it is too big for typical jobs around the shop but it was useful when drilling through 2x4s while constructing a new room in our house. Thanks for another interesting video.
I will have to take a closer look at the drill , thank you.
Well Mark I hit that like button about 3 seconds in! Some (a lot) of those tools there I still use in my daily work, what a great find and as always a great video, thank you, stay lucky and keep 'em coming.
Thank you Paul. I got very lucky in truth. Had no idea that the more useful to me tools were in there. I like how you have said stay lucky in each comment and I do genuinely feel lucky at this point. Thank you.
That’s a cracking haul mate, days of fun restoring them and a few quid to be made too. What’s not to like😎
Thank you Doug. Its true, I have already enjoyed them more than the amount I paid and have only scratched the surface.
Looks like one of the planes you had there is a moving fillister. Absolutely amazing bit of kit and I have a vintage one adourning a shelf in my house. Fantastic haul!
I think you are spot on bud. Thank you.
Draw knife is for removing (peeling) bark from wet/green wood.. Shaping dry wood is done with the spoke shaves. I have a side by side with 2 irons, one convex curved and one straight mounted next to each other. . A rabbet is a corner notch done with Tool #78....... A plough is a notch aka Dado though the center of the wood done with Tool #71 (router plane)
Thank you for the info. I appreciate it.
Hi Mark, An interesting haul. I liked the pull blades. I've used them before to make a green wood table. They're a lot of fun. As for the other tools, they were really interesting but I haven't got enough time to learn and master the tools I have, let alone adding some more to the collection. Although the routing plane will be something that I will add at some stage. I like the idea of more refined control than 3000rpm on my router.
Looks like you had a lot of fun with this one.
(oh, and I signed up to WW Guild. Steal of a price! thx.)
Hi ROger. I got very lucky for sure here. The draw knives are also one of my favourites. Not that I have a clue how to use them. I hear what you are saying about time. It is why I never keep the moulding planes. There are so many and the upkeep, it's just too much. The Stanley 71 router plane has saved me a couple of hundred quid as I was about to buy one from either bang good or veritas so thats a good bit of timing. Control is exactly why I need it. I have started doing rebates and some grooves on the table saw rather than router, only because it is right there so to speak but I need to clean up after making multiple passes. This works a charm. Glad you got the Guild price too. I was really happy when they reached out as I see it as a win win. So much info on there. Happy watching.
Another great video. I’m from Cannock and my grandad worked at Cornelius Whitehouse and sons, they went into liquidation in 67 and I think was then brought by Footprint tools.
Wow, thats amazing. My Dad worked most of his career in Cannock. I actually had to cut some of the video where I mentioned it as the video was running long. I bet your grandad had some cool tools.
@@startmaking1I do have a Hammer, axe and draw knife that was his from there, I like to think he made them as well but who knows
@@danielgriffin1742 that's amazing. I would assume the same thing too
The stanley router plane is a great find.
I think that and the saws are the most used so far.
A very interesting collection of tools - much nicer and better made than most modern ones. However, when using a hand saw, you should have only the second, third and fourth fingers wrapped round the handle. The index finger should be extended down the side of the handle to give better sideways control.
Damn, you spotted that. I am trying to retrain myself.
Once you got to the Stanley 71 that price was absolutely a steal - paid almost that for mine a few years back
Very lucky if I am honest.
Great tool haul there. Love the old tools. Was really hoping we would see you renovating at least some of them though
IT was a hard choice to be honest but I will do something like that in the future. I have a load of these left that I didnt touch.
So cool seeing all your treasures.
I definitely got lucky with the finds on this one. Thankyou
That is such a cool find. Wow Mark you did really well. The Stanleys alone was more than worth it. The moving filister is very nice. Smoother as well. Simply wonderful buddy. Enjoy! I am envious.
Hi Ian. Hope you are well. The irony is that I didnt spot the Stanleys in the photo at all. And I suspect as they were at the bottom of the boxes that nobody else did either. Very lucky.
@@startmaking1 Very lucky and they look like they have been well taken care of. We are well here thanks and the next project is well underway. I think you are going to really like this one. More on that later. Enjoy your new tools and the rest of the weekend my friend.
The concave grind on the small chisels also could mean they've been sharpened on a wheel, abd then honed by hand
Thank you for the knowledge. I appreciate it bud.
@@startmaking1 I only know that because a week ago i also re-ground an old Plane blade with a wheel and it pretty much looked like that lol
WOW. So cool. I wish there were auctions like that in my neck of the woods (Canada). Mind you I'm not sure if I need to add that many potential projects to my already massive to do list. Love your show. It must have been an estate sale. I have a tendency to hold on to more tools than I need so I can appreciate your decision to not keep all of them. I recently gave a kid down the block all my older tools that were gathering dust It was a hard thing to do but i thought of how much i would have appreciated it when I was his age.
It is a double edged sword for sure. Though I wish I had the woods that you guys over the pond seem to have access too. I definitely get jealous of that.
@@startmaking1 I live on the south wast coast of Canada. We have mostly softwoods like Douglas Fir, Cedar a bit of red maple. Believe me, all those lovely hardwoods are as far from me as they are from you. I'm not complaining though, up at my cabin I have all the soft wood i need as long as I'm ready to mill it.
I restore old saws as a passing hobby, in my experience the “warranted superior” are likely to be disston saws. There is a detailed website covering the history of their saw making.
Thank you For the info Karl. I love my old saws but have no clue about them.
Great review, as always, Matt. That Metabo certainly is quality engineering at an affordable price
This made me chuckle Jason. I believe it was meant for a 731 video . Us bald guys do looks similar though lol
You have done well.
Thank you. Luck played a huge part.
Can’t lie I am a jealous. Would love a few of those. I don’t do a lot of hand tool work currently but I could change that.
A few good hand tools are never a mistake. I may have gone a little far in the past year so I am not allowed to buy any more before selling or donating some of the ones I wont use.
@@startmaking1 I do have a hand plane that belonged to my grandfather which I restored. Love it!
@PaulAyo I was lucky enough to get over passed down. Sadly it is not a great plane but that doesn't matter too much.
I think you did quite well, that Stanley 71 is the prize
I think that one was my favourite. And needed the least work. I will need to acquire another iron.
What a great video. I will take up the Woodworkers Guild of America membership as I am looking to teach or more like show people the safe use of tools. I volunteer at a Community Centre, and I expect there will be many videos that cover the topic, seeing how I only have a basic understanding anyway.
Thank you. I have taken some time to look around and there is a wealth of knowledge on the site. PS well done for sharing your knowledge.
The Fenton saw is a butchers saw made for the Danish Bacon Company.
I have a feeling you are right Steve, Thank you.
another great vid !! lots of cool new tools to learn how to use! will look forward to seeing more of them in your vids!! Have Fun from Oklahoma
Hey bud. Thank you so much. A lot of these are now in the circulation. The Brass backed saws are lovely.
Cool video of a great score! 🎉🎉 Time to Start Making something with your new tools!
YEs, this much is very true. I need some wood to shave, or carve or something. lol.
The pointy thing is a burnishing iron for the scrapers. Looks like a cabinet makers toolkit.
Thank you very much. I think you are right on this.
I always enjoy your videos. They are very uplifting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you James. Thats really kind.
wooden moving filister is an awesome tool... it has a skewed blade... banger. And it will perform better than your stanley 78... especially across grain cuts.
the plough plane and blades is also awesome.
Back saws... their totes are designed for three fingers in... and index finger extended along side of tote... you will find it a superior feel to hold... :) I have no idea why modern cheap tools make a tote large enough for all fingers to go it... but it is not the correct way to hold.
what you called a router plane is a plough plane.
The no 80... it is missing a screw essential to operation. ahh. I see you did find that.
Love your videos. I am a learner too for last 4 years and have focused on traditional hand tools.
I enjoy your videos. Great job!
Wow, thank you for the info Very much appreciated. I have tried a fair few of these since but need to fine tune the planes. The saws are just lovely though.
Pretty envious of some of the things you've found there. As you say, just the day playing around with them meant it must have been money well spent
I had a smile on my face that whole day. And as you see in the videos apparently I dont smile very much lol.
Has to be from a deceased estate sale you did exceptionally well
Sadly I think you are right. Would have loved to find out who the saw belonged to but Im not holding out much hope.
I, too, had been looking for a Stanley 71 router plane forever (well, one for less than £100) then I found one on Ebay for £30. The interesting thing is that I was kind of "ripped off" (but not really). It was advertised as a "Stanley #71 with an aluminium body". Stanley don't aluminium on these or any planes that I know of. Somebody had obviously cast a Stanley body but all the attachment parts such as the clamp, the iron, and screws were genuine Stanley parts. The body had a steel sole so it was perfectly usable... just a bit of a 'forgery'. For £30, I'm happy to live with that. It works beautifully.
Wow that is a really unique find. And for it to work well is a huge added bonus. Now you have a one of a kind tool.
Great job
Thank you very much
I have to say I'm a bit jealous 😂😂 but in a good way. Some of the tools you got are some I'm looking for myself. They are well kept and very nice! Someone told me that if you treat your tools good then they in turn will be good to you. I know it to be true too. I'm glad to see you got some very nice tools and can't wait to see what you build with them! Have a great day and stay safe, Happy Building 💯😁
I appreciate that bud. Thank you. Whoever told you that was spot on. I get cross with myself if I let a tool get rusty. Unavoidable some years but still makes me want to do better. Have a good weekend.
Great buy!
Thank you. I feel I got lucky here.
Oh wow!! That's an incredible buy, just amazing! The old wooden plough planes work better with their original irons, so keep those Atkins irons with the Atkins plane. That rebate plane (think it's a fillister plane?) with the width guide has a skewed iron, I have one and find it gives better results than the 78.
The hand router is a real gem and in great condition!
"Man buys same tools"... man doesn't have to keep resetting single tool for batch work. I own three 45s which I thought was ridiculous, but I've used the m aall side by side on more than one occassion (just wish I was using them for fun projects rather than DIY projects, ah well).
The small chisels are butt chisels...carpenter's use them for awkward hinge recesses etc...the pointy thing...a paring chisel?
@@jaoxerNot butt chisels a butt chisel has a short handle , these have just been ground down .
@doczoff5655. I always look forward to your comments. So much info. And a really similar outlook into tools that I have. Thank you bud.
Draw knifes are used the other way around, I spent weeks on a draw horse making oak pegs for timber framing
DO you mean I had mine upside down or was pulling rather than pushing. I assume upside down. Thank you for pointing it out though I appreciate it.
@startmaking1 yes upside-down so unlike a chisel the bevel wants to be in contact with the timber, and use it like a pivot to dictate how much material to remove 😀 also, great haul what auction did you get it from ?
@@694ben thanks bud. Appreciate it. Just from my local auction house near banbury. Forget the name right now
@@startmaking1 ahh thanks for that might have to get down to my local one appreciate the vids 👌🏻
The thin wooden planes that take different shaped irons are called 'moulding planes'.
Thank you Peter.
Best one for me is the clamp raisers.
Thank you Adam. Mine too. Although an afterthought.
I am salivating with jealousy my friend. That's a great haul.
Lol, dont, you will make the tools rust more. Thank you, I do feel very lucky.
Pax saw is an excellent find, wooden plough planes are nice but prefer my metal record ones, just remember when you use a plough or rebate plane you start at the end and work backwards otherwise you will just rag the edges of the timber. I have used the Stanley no 80 cabinet scraper all my working life and would never be without it, unable to buy replacement blades from Stanley anymore though. I like you have many old or vintage tools picked up through the years and knowing I was going to use them and not just look at them spurs me on, they truly last beyond many lifetimes.
The Pax saw has been the most used saw I have since cleaning it up. It is just so tactile. It is funny reading how there is a split between people who say wooden plough planes and some that say metal . I love it. The cabinet scraper still needs work but, like you, I suspect it will be getting some work in the future as I use a lot of cabinet scrapers ie card scrapers. So this is a step forwards. I cant wait to delve deeper into the boxes. Thank you for watching.
One of those boxes of tools would be a great find & you got three. With some tuning & a bit of sharpening, you got some first-class hand tools. Had it been me, I would probably have looked hard at those single function molding planes. If the wooden bodies & irons were in great shape, maybe just needing sharpening, I'd keep them because you never know when you'll find others. I didn't see which planes you have, but do you make moldings for some of your woodworking? I did notice that large set of cutters in the yellow roll for combination planes are for different sizes of cove moldings. If some of the single purpose wood planes are also for coves, pass them on. If any do quarter rounds, I'd keep them. I assume there are other sets of blades for the combination planes other than what you have. In time, who knows what you'll come across. I also assume that any of the molding plane profiles could be duplicated with router bits. I've been looking for an economical Stanley 71 for about five years. I do have the smaller Stanley whose number I forget. I think I'll just make Paul Seller's cheap one with a 1/2 inch chisel. I look forward to seeing some of your future videos showing how you used some of the tool you obtained in this video.
I consider myself very lucky here. Though, I have forced myself to not look at buying anything more until I have refurbished all of these. The moulding planes are lovely and if I had time, I would love to clean them all up and test them. But for now, I end up boxing them up and popping them back. into the auction for someone else to have. I want to give them the best chance of finding a home where they wont collect dust. The Stanley 71 does need the more useful flat iron rather than the triangle one I have which is great but I prefer the other one. Paul seller's chisel one is brilliant. I have a hags tooth one very similar and once it is dialled in it works very well. You will definitely see these tools integrated into my collection and used. The brass backed saws are all now my go to western saws. Thank you for the info and for the support as always.
That combination of tools puts me in mind of a WW who made chairs and tables.
I think that you could be right, or cabinets.
The short chisels could be butt chisels, for working in confined spaces where a full-length chisel would be impossible or awkward to manage, or for carrying in a toolbox.
I think for this reason I will dig them out and keep them. They sound really useful.
You're a lucky man!
Luck is the word.
The brass backed saw might be Vintage John Elsworth & Sons Sheffield 9” Steel Back Dovetail Saw
Thank you Pamela. I will take a look.
@@startmaking1 I did an image search on the round medallion you showed on the screen. :)
The planes with the fences, these might be Fillister planes...used eg for cutting rebates
From what others have said I think you are spot on bud.
You had some great tools there.
Thank you Martin. I got luck here I think.
Oh my goodness, Mark, it's Christmas morning! How satisfying is it to use vintage hand tools? I cannot say that I'm not jealous. Part of my problem is that auction sites scare me a bit. I'm afraid of theft of personal information. Is that silly?
It's not silly if you feel it bud. To be honest as this is my local Auction house, all I needed to do was give my name and they take a card for payment in advance. But as I said, like woodworking, if it doesnt feel right to you then avoid it. As for hand tools, man even just cleaning them up is good therapy as far as Im concerned.
@@startmaking1 You got that right. Whenever I start to feel fidgety, it is good for me to either sharpen blades and chisels, or carve something. As always, you've done a cracking job on the video. Best regards...
Another SMW video, that's my morning sorted then 👍
Morning Stuart. My kind of video this week. Vintage Tools bought on a whim lol. I hope you enjoy. Have a great weekend.
What a lucky Boy!
Thank you Martin.
DBC is Danish Bacon Company. A wholesaler of catering equipment (as well as bacon).
Stainless steel never caught on for woodworking - it's a bit harder to sharpen - but has obvious benefits to a butcher cutting bones.
Great information. I will take a look. Thank you.
Sound like you made out well. I don't have any hand planes and not sure I want to learn how to fidget with them. Cheers
Thank you David. There are so many different ways to go in woodworking that you can still do what you want without having any hand tools.
@@startmaking1 I am more of a Steve Ramsey style woodworker. I am a Mere Mortal!
There is nothing more satisfying than using a well sharpened old hand plane, it’s something you’ve got to try to really appreciate though.
For me your price estimates seem on the high side but as soon as you had the router plane, rebate plane and the cabinet scraper you were in the black.
And the draw knives on their own were definitely worth the same again.
I quite frequently do something similar myself and now if I bid on anything it's because I can identify one or two items and only bid up to around the amount I consider fair value for them. I lose more auctions but it's a lot easier to justify to myself.
A vintage moving fillister plane (wood bodied rebate plane) with all the parts, will quite regularly sell for around 30-40 on its own on eBay, I've no doubt between that and some chisels you could come close to essentially having all of that for free.
I'll echo a few others and say
I think wood by Wright might be a better channel to look at as a guide to old hand tools for some of those though.
If you have a college with a woodworking department near you consider asking if any of the students would be interested in spare tools.
It's amazing how many tools you need for maintaining and repairing machinery so even down to pliers sockets, spanners and screwdrivers can help someone starting out.
Yeah, I think that you are right. I just did a quick scan of eBay and a tool selling site. Things are only worth what people pay for them I guess. I try to do what you do . A plane handle or something obvious sticking out the top but I never go to the auction. to view because honestly part of the fun is getting the boxes and delving in them once I know they are mine. Silly really. I love Wood by Wright. He is so knowledgeable but more so just positive and fun too. And it is a really good idea to find a college I will do some research. I was also thinking of a mens shed. Thank you.
You made off like a bandit. Had me laughing when you mentioned “guy bought two tools he already owned........”. Cheers
I tend to make a habit of doing stuff like that. They are just so appealing.
Hi. Just saw latest clip from Alex Steel. Who did a tour of the PAX saw company. Regards
Coincidentally I just saw that yesterday. It was fascinating.
Hey, I didn’t know Phil Collin’s collected tools!
Got bored of collecting drum sticks.
Not to bad a haul , at least you will het your money back if you decide to het rid of some of thr stuff .
The grind on the chisels is called a hollow grind , think you where calling it a bevel, you should restore the moving fillister plane and get it in to good use .
The first draw knife you used is probably French , you could make a video of making a spooeshave with one of tge blades you got as the bodies didnt look up yo much .
The wooden planes with the threaded stems are plough planes and the others ones are moving fillisters , the soles looked as if they would Certainly need squared up on the moving fillisters .
THank you bud. So much info. I appreciate it.
Makes me wonder how many cups of tea that carpenter had whilst using those lovely tools.
What an amazing thought.
A friend of mine's brother sent me a Stanley 71 as a gift. An old one.
Now that is a wonderful gift.
The Initials J.P.H. needs to be researched!
I honestly tried and the surname from the saw. I think someone better at it could find the answers maybe but I am not that clever sadly.
D.B.C. Doncaster or Darlington Borough Council
Could it be a presentation saw to them at some point?
Thats a good point. I didnt consider that. Thank you
It's interesting that the tools you're more excited about are the ones that look used the least. Tools formerly used by a professional that are not worn indicates to me that they're of little usefulness.
Very true,
Good purchase. Did you look up the name of the person who owned them? Looks like he had his initials on them. Especially when you showed the saws. I'd love a video of some of his work if possible. That would be interesting.
I did, I spent a good amount of time online but could not find anything much sadly. IT would be amazing to find any info but nothing as yet.
@startmaking1 It's hard with some of those older carpenters. They worked for the pride of their work and it was always word of mouth referrals. Today is a little different.
“Blind auction for the win!”
I got lucky on this one. For sure.
You know that you are going to start a run on people bidding for boxes of tools now! lol
I know, and I just missed out on one this past Saturday, if I find out it was a viewer ...lol.
M8 those wooden plains and draw knifes are stunning love a good draw knife i had one for a bit had give it back but they work amazing for my live edge clean up and those wooden plains well they just look fantastic.

Hey Michael. hope you are good. The wooden planes have a place in my office as decoration if I dont get to use them . Just lovely to look at. Appreciate the turning offer. I hope it is going well. Sorry not caught up in a while . Take care.

Hi, Mark. That's one Beast of a score you made.
You have things there people search and drool for.
Be very picky, about what you get rid of. Be sure, also,
to set a good reserve price, on your auctions. Even those
things, missing parts, may be exactly what someone is
looking for. Happy shavings. 😁🖖✌
I feel I got a little lucky with the fact that it was covered in so much dust that people just over looked it all. So far in 4 lots that I have done, I am yet to be able to part with anything. Maybe I am being a little too much of a hoarder. Great advice as always though bud. Thank you.
@@startmaking1I agree about the missing parts reserve as well; I have bought hand planes that were broken but had pristine frogs and totes
You get that concave effect with a cheaper high speed bench grinder too
Thank you. I have never considered doing it but it looked really easy to sharpen.
Trying to convince myself to use it more...
fair enough
