New old tools
The product of way too much time on ebay of late, building up a small toolchest-worth of tools for a project…
Yes, you need that many planes 😀
Got to love the 778. Takes the standard Stanley 78 design and improves it by adding a second rail to the fence for stability. And it cuts like a hot knife through butter.
Small little 76 hand plane for small corners…
…and a rather larger number seven plane for jointing…
…and a rather rough-and-ready little 75 hand plane for tight corners…
…and a number three plane so Calum can help…
And a 77 plane to act as a shoulder plane to tidy up tenon shoulders…
And a veritas marking gauge because the normal block-pattern one I had was thirty years old and sticking a lot. This however, is a pleasure to use.
Next up – what I’m doing with them all…
