There will be no May tool list.
From the bottom of the barrel to the top of the heap, thereis
perhaps the widestrange of tools I’ve offered on one of these
monthly lists. And,a new world record number of items for my list
has been reach withno fewer than 211 items, each specially chosen
for your viewingpleasure and a lifetime’s worth of use.
If you have questions about what theStanley numbers are, you can
look the planes upon Blood&Gore:
http://www.supertool.com/stanleybg/stan0.htm
If there is anything in particular thatyou're after, do ping
me as there is a lotof stuff here that isn't on the list; the
list just representsa snapshot of the previous month's haul with
none of the stuffhaving appeared on a previous list.
Please email me prior to sending moneyso that you can be sure
the tool is still upfor grabs. Also, prices do not include shipping,
which is the exactamount that it takes to go from me to you.
This list goes out to many people onthe first Monday of the month.
So, if you seesomething you want, it's the quickest finger on the
trigger that winsthe duel.
Also, due to the nature of selling overthe wires, tools are sold
on a first come,first serve basis. The first person to say "I'll
take it", getsit. I have to operate this way as some will take a
few days to get backto me with their interest in a particular item,
and it's unfair tokeep others waiting who are willing to buy immed-
iately.
I reserve the right to correcttypographical errors, after the
list goes out. Irarely make them, but when I do, they can be
major ones.
If you’re the kind of person who puts astraightedge to the sole
of a #40, to checkfor flatness, or who tosses a plane on a scale
to weigh it againstwhat it states in the Stanley catalogues, you’ll
need to take yourbusiness elsewhere. I’ll wish you luck finding
perfection insomething that was never made, nor intended to be,
perfect. You guysknow who you are, and it’s best for both of us
that our paths don’tcross.
Lastly, and I hate to have to mentionthis, but if you tell me
that money is on theway for something you want, and you never make
good on it, we won’tbe doing business in the future. It’s unfair,
actually downrightdiscourteous, to others who want the same thing,
and I tell them it’ssold. Pull this on me, and you’re exorcised
from the list.Sorry, but I don’t tolerate this behavior well at
all.
Don't forget the cool new tools thatI'm making - a jazzy layout
knife being used byprofessionals (made cover of Feb '98 FWW!); a
detachable blockplane handle designed to fit your 20 degree
block planes, andthe finest bench plane in production today, the
Bed Rock #601. Youcan see all this at:
http://www.supertool.com/newtools.htm
Finally, remember that you don't haveto be a connoisseur (did
I spell thatcorrectly?) to shop here. You can be a wirehead, a
metalhead, azipperhead, a propellerhead, a deadhead, a cokehead,
or even a knuckle-draggingoaf, just like me, to shop here, as
long as your dinerois green.
Thanks for shopping, and remember, noletters/words were injured
when writing thislist...
FEATURED TOOL OF THE MONTH
******** **** ** *** *****
FT1 The tool elf is photographed with something that
Iguarantee you’ll never see again, a set of 27
carvingchisels with unique bone carved handles;
eachhandle is a whimsical expression of the proud
maker,who likely used these to carve canes or
parasols,which have the same treatment on their
handlesand shafts; they are stored in a custom made
walnutbox that has three velvet lined trays;
American-made,dating to ca.1889 there are a mixture
ofmakers, from Addis to Buck Bros; simply an amazing
set thatcaptures the essence of what collecting
anyantique is all about:

ST45 #64 butcher’s block low angleplane; when all the
carpenters and cabinetmakers of the world had planes
just forthem, the lowly butcher surely must have
taken greatjoy when Stanley sought a portion of
theirhard-earned wages; or so Stanley thought;
such wasnot the case as these planes rang up
dismalsales and are quite uncommon in any shape;
this one,however, is the best condition one I’ve
ever seen(and is the very first I’ve ever offered
forsale); 95%+ japanning, with the missing just on
the edgesof the side walls, it’s definitely one for
anadvanced collector; from ca.WWI with the V-logo
on the iron,just the serrated iron (the most difficult
to findof the two) is present; a great example; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t105.jpg $2385.00

then putaway, this one escaped the ravages of making
rough cutlumber presentable, its has 95% japanning;
as cleanan example as I’ve seen, with all original
parts,it’s a type one model with the patent applied
forstamped in the iron; for the guy who wants them
as cleanas possible, it’s upgrade time; bottom:

plane;nearly all plating, no damage, or owner’s
marks,it’s an early model embossed with the patent

finish onthe wood, these planes got real ugly real
quickwith any use, which this one, fortunately
neversuffered:

ST48 A great pre-lateral #2 smoothingplane; showing little
signs ofuse other than some minor scratching in the
sole,this is a fine example with all original parts,

iron andcasting; they rarely come along in the shape;

originalparts, 98% japanning; full length original
blade,which typically isn’t marked; no damage to
the wood;bottom:

ST52 #72 chamfer plane with beadingattachment and bull
nosesection; a very nice example in nearly brand
newcondition; 98% japanning, the bull nose section
shows themost loss, the beading attachment looks
unusedand is still in the original green box with
sixcutters, instructions and envelope; this one is
ready tostand proud in a significant collection:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t109.jpg $1275.00
ST53 #148 match plane in brand newcondition; within its
originaltattered box, this one will blind you with
itsplating; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t110.jpg $185.00
ST54 #289 skewed rabbet plane; thisplane is in brand
newcondition, with all original parts stored in
theoriginal tattered box; the best model as it
has thethree lobe spurs, which are interchangeable
withthose of the #78; they simply do not come any
cleaner;right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t110.jpg $585.00
ST55 #4 1/2H oversized smoothing plane;embossed with the
modelnumber, this is not some WWII casting that is
beingpassed off as that model; a clean example with
95%japanning, it was used with care, it has all
originalparts, including the short iron; a plane
designedto ‘compete’ with the infill market in the
UK, itcouldn’t even get out of the starting blocks
in thatrace and become a poor seller; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t111.jpg $675.00
ST56 #97 chisel plane; a very cleanca.1930 example with
alloriginal parts; 99% japanning, it looks to have
