Your trip took me right back. Loved those Tonka adverts. My friend Richard got one of those Tonka dump trucks for Christmas. That's when I first understood what jealously was! 😢
i remember using all of those tools at engineering college, because back in the day we didn't have fancy things and had to make everything by hand lol love having a good old dig around a boot sale for just the randomest tools i can find, nice spoke shave and tennoning saw there though
Hi So true bring back the old school system, you can’t beat a good car boot or flea market. There was some amazing finds and so much more as well, the smoothing plane was best valued bit but the tennon saw was class have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍
Loving the Tonka, I have the back loader, and the articulated car transporter, and will never part with them. Got to love the old metal toys. Great video as always guys 😀😀👍
Still got 2 Yankee screwdrivers the big and middle size ones , also had to use one of those egg whisk drills to drill into blocks when I was an apprentice as we didn’t have and power on-site , it had the big shoulder stock on it , gave up on the end and used a rawl plug tool
Tony and Pete, you are so spot on. Buying good quality, well looked after, second hand tools, is definitely the way to go. Brand new chisels and planes are not generally usable from the packet, the steel is inferior poorly cast. When planes were made 50 plus years ago they were cast and then left for up to 12 months to stop movement (similar to when wood dries out and seasons). Only then we're the surfaces machined and ground flat. I bought a brand new Stanley block plane 10 years ago and it took me three days to get the bed flat on sandpaper glued to glass. Thanks for the great video, looks like I need to book a trip to the next event.👋😁
Hi Fred it’s an incredible place to go definitely worth a few trips in a year, I’am going to the first spring one because Pete always says it’s has even more stock have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍 PS loved learning about the old planes standing for 12 months never know that.
@@BuildWithAE Tony, the same applies to castings made in all sorts of industries. Cast iron engine blocks were deliberately left outside to heat and cool in the weather to relieve the stresses in the casting. I know your busy but a quick search for cast steel seasoning helped me see what makes good and bad tools. Rex Kruger on UA-cam did a great video two weeks ago, trying to tune up a Chinese plane. 10ish minutes in he talks about seasoning. Stay safe friend.
