‘tis a sad day in north central Massachusetts with the recent

official announcement of an American institution’s passing, Union

Products of Leominster (also the home of my dear ball and chain).

 

  It’s a good bet that 99.99% of you have never heard of the firm,

but nearly all of you, including you global subscribers, recognize

their product, the iconic plastic pink flamingo.

 

  Yes, the company known for its cheesy plastic gnomes, santas,

elves, and flamingos, ceased production of those 2006, but the final

nail in the coffin is the Chapter 7 liquidation about to occur in

federal court. The firm is not merely dead, it’s really most sincerely

dead.

 

  To allay the sorrowful news, there’s lots of quality stuff on this

list, which, so far, has outlasted the plastic and concrete kitsch

found on lawns worldwide.

 

  So weep not for Union Products, operators are standing by to take

your order........

 

  If you have questions about what the Stanley numbers are, you can

look the planes up on Blood&Gore:

 

         http://www.supertool.com/stanleybg/stan0.htm

 

  If there is anything in particular that you're after, do ping

me as there is a lot of stuff here that isn't on the list; the

list just represents a snapshot of the previous month's haul with

none of the stuff having appeared on a previous list.

 

  Please email me prior to sending money so that you can be sure

the tool is still up for grabs. Also, prices do not include shipping,

which is the exact amount that it takes to go from me to you.

 

  This list goes out to many people on the first Monday of the month.

So, if you see something you want, it's the quickest finger on the

trigger that wins the duel.

 

  Also, due to the nature of selling over the wires, tools are sold

on a first come, first serve basis. The first person to say "I'll

take it", gets it. I have to operate this way as some will take a

few days to get back to me with their interest in a particular item,

and it's unfair to keep others waiting who are willing to buy immed-

iately.

 

  I reserve the right to correct typographical errors, after the

list goes out. I rarely make them, but when I do, they can be

major ones.

 

  If you’re the kind of person who puts a straightedge to the sole

of a #40, to check for flatness, or who tosses a plane on a scale

to weigh it against what it states in the Stanley catalogues, you’ll

need to take your business elsewhere. I’ll wish you luck finding

perfection in something that was never made, nor intended to be,

perfect. You guys know who you are, and it’s best for both of us

that our paths don’t cross.

 

  Lastly, and I hate to have to mention this, but if you tell me

that money is on the way for something you want, and you never make

good on it, we won’t be doing business in the future. It’s unfair,

actually downright discourteous, to others who want the same thing,

and I tell them it’s sold. 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 that I'm making - a jazzy layout

knife being used by professionals (made cover of Feb '98 FWW!); a

detachable block plane handle designed to fit your 20 degree

block planes, and the finest bench plane in production today, the

Bed Rock #601. You can see all this at:

 

  http://www.supertool.com/newtools.htm

 

  Finally, remember that you don't have to be a connoisseur (did

I spell that correctly?) to shop here. You can be a wirehead, a

metalhead, a zipperhead, a propellerhead, a deadhead, a cokehead,

or even a knuckle-dragging oaf, just like me, to shop here, as

long as your dinero is green.

 

  Thanks for shopping, and remember, no letters/words were injured

when writing this list...

 

  FEATURED TOOL OF THE MONTH

  ******** **** ** *** *****

 

  FT1  The most amazing pile of complex molding planes I’ve

       ever seen, all by Gleave of Manchester and each with

       the same owner’s stamp; most are infinitely complex

       massive blocks of wood, these were used for the most

       formal work; finding one alone is extra special, but to

       find a matching group of 17 is unheard of; all are as

       found, several with missing irons and/or wedges, but

       save for one, they are in little used shape with no

       worm or rot; once restored, you’ll be the envy of users

       and collectors around the world, they will easily be

       worth the bargain price now; simply amazing, I’ve snapped

       an image of each from the heel, in no particular order,

       and added a brief description of its condition and

       stock width (not the width of the profile):

 

         The entire pile:

             rework:

             wedges, one of those is from another plane

             in the set:

       but the smaller #92; just some minor plating wear, a

       fine worker, a honing has it up and running; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t2.jpg            $145.00

  ST3  #271 mini-router; US-made model, with nearly all

       plating, all original, and no longer in production;

  ST5  #66 beader in great wooden box; with both original

       fences, and a pile of cutters (a few extras), it’s a

       wear; missing the router cutter; top:

       nicer than what’s normally found:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t24.jpg           $285.00

  ST8  Rosewood and boxwood body #24 transitional plane; a

       reproduction by renaissance man, Jim Moon, who when

       not removing an appendix, spleen, or liver, turns to

       high end woodworking, this is one of his creations

       based on the Stanley originals (only about five known)

       where the body is rosewood with a dovetailed boxwood

       section; never used, Jim went a bit beyond Stanley’s

       effort by plating the cast iron making this a unique

       creation; the originals cost several thousand dollars,

       here’s a bargain in comparison and made much better

       than Stanley ever did; stamped on the toe with his mark,

       these come along once in a blue moon;

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t27.jpg

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t27a.jpg          $295.00

  ST9  Bed Rock #605 1/2 oversized jack plane; while this

       one make look like it was dredged up from a riverbed,

       it’s actually a diamond in the rust with 98% japanning;

       superficial rust; will clean to be a great example, it

       has all original parts and no damage, it dates to ca.

       1930:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t29.jpg           $235.00

       of iron life left to it, it only needs a honing to be

       put back to work; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t35.jpg           $255.00

  ST11 A nearly mint Bed Rock #607 jointer; with 95% of the

       original decal on the tote, 99% japanning, full length

       sweetheart iron, great patina on the exterior, if this

       one was used, it was just once or twice; for the guy

       who only wants the best condition; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t35.jpg           $385.00

  ST12 Extra clean and rare #101 1/2 bull nose miniature

       thumb plane; the cleanest I’ve owned, with 95% plating,

       all original parts, and absolutely guaranteed to be

       original and proper; never listed in any Stanley

       propaganda, they found favor over in the UK:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t37.jpg           $655.00

  ST13 Uncommon #31 1/2-F folding boxwood shrink rule; used

       by patternmakers to calculate shrinkage as metal cools,

       this one 3/16” per foot; in used, but never abused shape,

       the joint is fine, no owner’s marks, this model is far

       less common than the standard non-folding model; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t39.jpg            $95.00

  ST14 Clean and complete #55 combination plane; with all

       cutters, and nearly all nickel plating, this one is

       a bargain worker as I bought it reasonably; no damage,

       the only thing it’s missing is the original screw

       driver and instructions; these things really do work,

       contrary to my online tongue-in-cheek slapping, you

       just need to be patient with their set-up and

       selective in the stock you use:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t43.jpg           $490.00

  ST15 #42 saw set, brand new in original box with original

       instruction; the most popular and easiest to use saw

       set, all you need do is add the saw; missing the

       circular saw blade attachment, most guys chucked that

       when they realized it was easier just to buy a new

       one, you’ll never need that; left:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t47.jpg            $45.00

  ST16 #60 1/2 low angle block plane; an extra clean and

       damage free example with all original parts; a 1950’s

       example that has nearly all japanning, just some

       localized superficial rust on the sole, which will

       clean quickly; a very handy and popular plane with

       the lowest angle of any Stanley plane; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t52.jpg            $55.00

  ST17 #7 jointer; a clean sound worker that dates from ca.

       1895; with all original parts, it’s developed that nice

       brown patina on the exterior; japanning is 95%, iron

       is full length, perfect rosewood, the lever cap has

       some chipping on the leading edge (a lesson for you –

       don’t use it for unscrewing the cap iron); top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t72.jpg           $135.00

  ST18 #5 1/4 junior jack plane; a 1950’s example with all

       original parts, 99% japanning, and in little used

       condition; a very handy plane for cleaning up smaller

       areas; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t72.jpg            $85.00

  ST19 #602 Bed Rock smoothing plane; being offered as a

       bargain worker as half the back tab has been snapped

       off, a common thing for #2-size planes, and there is

       some chipping on the lever cap; the tote bolt is still

       securely attached; plane needs a cleaning, it’ll be a

       good worker for those who don’t want to dump the extra

       dinero on a perfect one:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t73.jpg           $385.00

  ST20 #39 7/8” dado plane; a ca.WWI model, with all original

       parts and no damage; in need of a cleaning, the wider

       dado planes are nearly as easy to find as the narrower

       ones; japanning 95%, patent date embossed in handle;

       top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t78.jpg           $145.00

  ST21 #39 3/4" dado plane; a ca.1910 model with all original

       parts, no damage, and nicely cleaned, all you need to

       do is hone the iron and start working with this one;

       perfect size for today’s stock thickness; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t78.jpg           $160.00

  ST22 Good #198 double arm marking gauge with rosewood fence;

       the upscale model of the popular #98, it has the pizza

       wheel roller scribes as well as the conventional pin

       scribes at each end of the graduated arms; usual dings

       in the head, still a fine worker; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t81.jpg            $85.00

  ST23 #40 scrub plane; a better than usual example, from the

       1920’s, with sweetheart logo on iron; no damage to the

       wood other than wear along top edge of horn, 90%

       japanning, a perfect worker for preparing the wood

       prior to the fine planes; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t83.jpg            $75.00

  ST24 #39 1/2 type 1 6” level; with the graphic casting, the

       vial plate has the patent date stamped in it and has

       nearly all plating; no damage, original vial, a nice

       example; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t88.jpg            $55.00

  ST25 Pair of #1 bronze trammels mounted on a brass bar; the

       smallest size offered, 3 1/4" long, all original parts

       including the sweetheart marked points; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t88.jpg            $65.00

  ST26 #85 boxwood razor edge spoke shave; the best spoke shave

       made, the iron attacks the wood at the lowest possible

       angle; the mouth can be set for finer/thicker shaving

       easily; 2” wide blade, this one saw use, has the usual

       hang hole, no chipping on the body, it’s a perfect

       worker for the finest work; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t89.jpg            $80.00

  ST27 Scarce #63X spoke shave; with a 1 1/2” wide blade and

       a curved sole (front to back), this one was designed

       to be indestructible and found favor in trade schools;

       all original parts, sweetheart marked iron, 90%

       japanning, it’s ideal for curved work; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t89.jpg            $65.00

  ST28 Super clean #923 brace; used just a few times, still

       with the decal on the head, this top of the line

       brace is in top condition; 10” sweep, all the fine

       features expected on a quality brace, it’s ready to

       use out of the box; Stanley’s best brace; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t90.jpg            $95.00

  ST29 Bed Rock #606C corrugated for plane; with all original

       parts, including the “BED ROCK” embossed lever cap,

       this ca.1915 example has 99% japanning, and saw hardly

       any use; no damage at all, with the nice brown patina

       to the exterior, the way we wish all of them are, it’s

       as nice an example as I’ve owned; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t93.jpg           $215.00

  ST30 #71 router with maple knobs, in the original box; a

       clean and little used example, with all original parts,

       it has the earlier maple knobs, which I favor over the

       black painted ones on the later models; it pre-dates

       the introduction of the V-cutter, a later one was

       added, it’s also earlier than the fence; box is in

       fine shape, with usual hole puncture on the top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t94.jpg           $110.00

  ST31 Very scarce type 1 #49 match plane; the japanned

       finish, patent date embossed below the floral handle,

       beaded knob, and the tiny steel screws set this one

       apart from the later model; in fine shape, with no

       damage, japanning is 90%; owner neatly stamped his

       name in the knob, the cutters are original, including

       the wider one that came with the plane for increasing

       the working capacity of the tool; a great example of

       a very hard to find model; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t95.jpg           $190.00

  ST32 Good #82 scraper with rosewood sole; with good length

       to the original sweetheart marked blade, nearly all

       original nickel plating, and uniform thickness to the

       rosewood sole; a fine worker, with owner’s marks in

       the plating, it’s not an easy tool to find in this

       shape; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t99.jpg            $85.00

  ST33 1 1/2" Everlasting chisel; a difficult to find size,

       this one saw little use, and has no damage; usual

       localized tarnish on the blade, and bang marks on

       the metal end, it’s a quality chisel that measures

       11 1/2" long; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t99.jpg            $95.00

  ST34 #19 knuckle joint block plane; as-found, with no

       damage, only needs a cleaning to get back to work, it

       dates from ca.1915; one of Stanley’s best planes; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t102.jpg           $45.00

 

 

  WOOD PLANES

  **** ******

 

  WP1  Fine bead cluster; an uncommon profile, this one cuts

       three adjacent 1/4" diameter beads over an arc for a

       delicate accent; professionally made, but unsigned,

       with usual owner’s stamps, it’s a ca.1800 plane that

       just needs a honing to have it up and running; a fine

       plane:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t4.jpg            $135.00

  WP2  One of the nicest molders I’ve had in some time, this

       a rabbet style complex molder by Greenslade; in nearly

       brand new condition, it cuts a 1 5/8” wide profile

       that’s typically used on paneling; no owner’s marks,

       no nail holes, it’s a great chunky plane that’s sure

       to become a real favorite; two inconsequential chips

       at heel of boxing strips is only ‘apology’, it’s

       otherwise new:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t5.jpg            $355.00

  WP3  As fine a moving fillster as I’ve owned, this a fully

       dovetail boxed one by Marples (with the fancy ribbon

       stamp); the best solution for rabbeting, it’s never

       been altered; original boxwood nicker wedge, it has

       the slotted fence for removing the iron when honing;

       no owner’s marks, some trivial roughness on the wedge

       finial:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t6.jpg            $165.00

  WP4  Two chunky center beads with large adjustable fences;

       both by Griffiths/Norwich, they are the perfect

       solutions for sticking a bead off the edge of the

       stock; one is a single 1/4" diameter bead, the fence

       on this one is original, the other a reed of two 1/8”

       diameter, the fence on this one was added the day the

       original owner bought it; usual owner’s stamps, these

       are fine workers in sound shape:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t9.jpg

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t9a.jpg           $195.00

  WP5  Clean Marples beech smoothing plane in its original

       box; coffin shape, 2” wide double iron, eight inches

       long, it was used briefly then stuck back in the box;

       end label on box is missing; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t18.jpg            $85.00

  WP6  Odd T.J.McMaster 1/2" (depth of cut) cove, quirked ogee

       and bevel, a most unusual profile; in fine shape, with

       no damage, usual owner’s stamp, there’s a lot of twists

       and turns packed into such a small profile:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t30.jpg           $155.00

  WP7  Fabulous N.Little bolection molder; in as pristine

       shape as a pre-1800 New England molding plane can be,

       this beauty is the nicest example by this shadowy

       north shore (of Massachusetts) maker I’ve seen; far

       less common than the L.Little mark, the book underrates

       the scarcity of N.Little, and I see a few dozen L’s for

       ever N; 10” long, broad flat chamfers, never cleaned or

       abused, small owner’s stamp, perfect wedge, no nail

       holes, it’s odd that this one wasn’t boxed at the

       quirk; cuts a finely proportioned 3/4" deep profile,

       the only bad thing that can be said about this is some

       minor staining from spillage over 200 years ago, I

       think that adds to it; I would have killed for this

       one were I still collecting early New England planes,

       it’s that nice:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t44.jpg

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t44a.jpg

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t44b.jpg          $495.00

  WP8  Uncommon toted Mathieson plough plane with wedged arms;

       wedged arms are normally the stuff of untoted ploughs,

       this one certainly didn’t sell in the quantity that

       those did; in sound user shape, with usual dings here

       and there, the wedge finial shows the worst of that;

       nicely cleaned; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t45.jpg           $140.00

  WP9  Pair of shorter 3/4" match planes with integral totes

       by M.Crannel; these compact 9 1/2" long planes were

       made by a few western Massachusetts and Albany, NY

       area makers but never in any great quantity as most

       are around 11” long; sound workers, never altered or

       abused, with steel plated fences for longer wear and

       greater accuracy, they center the groove on 3/4" thick

       stock, a rather uncommon dimension to find as most are

  WP10 A virtually unused fully boxed 3/8” double bead by M.

       Copeland, this one was used once or twice than forgotten;

       with no damage to the boxwood, perfect wedges, owner’s

       mark at toe, it was lightly cleaned some time ago; the

       perfect plane for sticking beads when the grain changes

       where the plane is flipped end for end and planed left

       handed; would be difficult to find a nicer example:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t49.jpg           $145.00

  WP11 A bold Israel White toted molding plane with his

       elaborate and classic maker’s mark; designed to cut

       an “INCH BY INCH AND 3/8” (individually stamped in the

       heel) quirked ogee and bevel of most pleasing pro-

       portions, the plane measures 13 1/2" long; in never

       altered or abused shape, no owner’s marks, no damage

       about the wedge, lignum boxing, it’s a fine example

       of this eagerly collected Philadelphia maker:

  WP12 Graduated set of three Ohio Tool Co. square ovolos;

       rarely found in multiples, this set has three of the

       more popular sizes of 1/2", 3/4", and 7/8”; always

       together, and marked with the catalog number on the

       toe, no owner’s stamps, and in far nicer than usual

       shape, these have always been together since they

       left the factory:

  WP13 Pair of extra clean dado planes by Marples; 3/8” and

  WP14 Matching graduated set of three center bead by Invicta;

       still with most of the decal, double boxed, no owner’s

       marks, these look to be unused; with the sizes and

       prices penciled on the heel, they are 3/8”, 1/2", and

       3/4"; perfect workers for sticking a bead anywhere on

       the face of the stock:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t58.jpg           $145.00

  WP15 An amazing pair of Middleton/York flat chamfer cabinet

       pitch bolections; 3/8” and 4/8” sizes, these planes

       were used a couple times, and then forgotten for over

       200 years; never cleaned, with nice embossed owner’s

       mark (same on each plane), they show minor banging on

       heel (looks much worse in the image); I’ve never had

       a matching pair of these, and they are in phenomenal

       shape:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t59.jpg           $295.00

  WP16 Another fabulous Middleton/York molder, this one a

       7/8” (depth of cut) square, cove, and astragal; in

       never abused shape, used just a few times, it only

       shows banging on the heel from backing the wedge/iron

       off; with a nice embossed owner’s stamp, never cleaned

       or altered, it’s a wonderful example:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t61.jpg           $165.00

  WP17 Mate to WP15, this one a diminutive 3/8” (depth of

       cut) square, cove, and astragal with a cabinet pitch;

       has same owner’s mark, in same condition, and is as

       nice as they come; a very difficult size to find, it’s

       one superb plane:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t62.jpg           $195.00

  WP18 A very unusual Preston molder with early oval logo and

       Lichfield St. address; in fine shape, never altered or

       abused, it cuts a 5/8” deep torus bead and sharp bevel;

       usual owner’s stamps, it saw very little use; I can’t

       recall having this odd profile before:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t63.jpg           $165.00

  WP19 An extra complex molder by Haw; with more twists and

       turns than a Chubby Checker on acid performance, it

       cuts a 3/4" deep quirked ovolo, fillet, cove, raised

       fillet, square, and exaggerated cove (I think I just

       went blind and lost my mind deciphering that one!);

       maker’s mark is a bit weak, the plane is in fine

       shape, with some minor wear and a single owner’s

       stamp; if you can figure out this profile, the meaning

       of life will be a no-brainer:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t65.jpg           $355.00

  WP20 Very rare rule joint planes by Marples with odd feature

       of one being slipped (likely to tweak the joint); used

       to make the ‘complex’ joint on drop leaf tables, these

       are in fine shape, with no damage, and usual owner’s

       mark; matching rule joint planes are difficult to find

       by any maker, they seem to be much more so by UK

       makers:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t66.jpg           $290.00

  WP21 Tiny 1/8" astragal by Mutter; with cabinet pitched

       iron, this one was designed to work harder woods; in

       fine shape, a 200+ year old example that was never

       altered or abused, the small astragals are very

       difficult to find, and lend themselves nicely to

       furniture; usual owner’s stamps; the profile is good

       and crisp, although the image doesn’t show that; I

       measured this one across the bead’s diameter, which

       Mutter did as it’s stamped “1” in the heel, the common

       numbering system to designate 1/8ths of an inch; left:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t67.jpg           $115.00

  WP22 Crisp T.Turned astragal; bead measures 1/4" diameter,

       this one saw practically no use; with usual owner’s

  WP23 Graduated set of five beads by E.Preston; in never

       abused or altered shape, always together, diameters

       of 3/16”, 5/16”, 3/8”, 3/4", and 7/8”; all single

       boxed, with good surfaces, fine workers, and in much

       nicer than usual bead condition:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t68.jpg           $185.00

  WP24 Very uncommon matching sash planes and template by

       Griffiths/Norwich, along with sash scribing gouge by

       Frost/Norwich (sold by him); sets like this are very

       difficult to find these days as most get ripped apart

       when numbskulls pillage tool chests in total ignorance;

       luckily, these stayed together, and all the same

       owner’s stamp; in fine shape, these are a true

       survivor:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t70.jpg           $275.00

  WP25 Most unusual special purpose curved dado/grooving

       plane; likely used by a sashmaker, stair builder, or

       carriagemaker, it’s 7 3/8” long, and is in perfect

       shape; the sole and fence both have a slight curvature

       to them, the arms are secured with long slender wedges;

       very well made, it’s not a UK product; a really jazzy

       little plane:

       wedge; 9 3/4" long, made of beech, it’s in never

       altered or cleaned condition, the profile is 1/2" wide;

       with the previous, but cuts a 1/2" deep bolection; same

       shape, different maker’s initials of “P.A”, it in fine,

       never messed with shape; unsprung, it has the charming

       looking of the earlier examples of this popular

       profile; right and bottom:

  WP28 Uncommon pair of American-made side rabbets by Barry &

       Way N.York (mark weak); in as-found shape, never

       altered, original parts, they show expected scuffs

       and wear from use, they have plenty of life left in

       them, and are priced as bargain workers:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t82.jpg            $90.00

  WP29 Odd sash fillister with rosewood boxed sole; a standard

       simple model, have the sole is boxed with rosewood; not

       marked with a maker’s name, there are plenty of owner’s

       marks to make up for that; plane saw use, with wedge

       finial showing that, the arm wedges are good replace-

       ments; a decent worker:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t83a.jpg           $75.00

  WP30 Classic New England ca.1800 molding plane; with broad

       flat chamfers, stylized relived wedge, gouge cuts on

       the stop, layout lines, and non-boxed quirk, this one

       has all the features of that unique style that was

       soon to be standardized; made of beech, 9 1/2" long,

       it cuts a 3/4" deep quirked ovolo and fillet of a

       pleasing proportion; never cleaned, no damage, no

       maker’s or owner’s marks, it’s a professionally made

       plane with lots of charisma:

  WP31 Proving that complexity knows no bounds when it comes

       to wooden planes, here’s a backwoods New England entry

       in the “Try to Stump Freud” contest; a whopping 11”

       long beech body, with flat chamfers, it’s in never

       altered condition, the wedge is a later replacement;

       profile is 1/2" deep and 1 3/8” wide; body shows some

       checking, this one is a classic Georgian profile of

       colonial America origin, often used in fireplace

       surrounds:

  WP33 Strange double ebony boxed rabbet; a nicely made

       craftsman-made product, with a cabinet pitch, there’s

       a strip of rosewood along each edge of the 1” wide

       sole; in fine shape, with a unique look, the image

       fails to capture that; left:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t113.jpg           $95.00

  WP34 Primitive bone boxed torus bead; a ca.1800 American

       made tool, the maker of this one chose a nasty grain

       blank for the stock, there are knots, tear out, and

       cleaving marks on that which lend to its charm; an

       auxiliary strip, to convert to a bead, is missing,

       it’s otherwise in fine shape with usual owner’s

       marks; right:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t113.jpg           $95.00

       having one of this dimension before, it’s a nice

       craftsman-made example, with usual owner’s stamps; a

       few nail holes on the bottom of the fence, from shimming

       it for a special application, it’s a fine worker; right:

       are jammed adjacent to make a pleasing 3/4" wide profile;

       in fine shape, with no damage or alteration, owner pricked

       his initials at the nose, it’s in much better than usual

       wood plane shape:

  WP38 Extremely rare Garrett’s patent toothing plane made by

       Marples; clearly stamped with his patent info behind

       the iron, it’s in fine shape showing minimal signs of

       use; an extra strange iron is what this one is all

       about, it should be obvious to the casual woodworker

       that this plane was destined to flop as a toothing

       plane doesn’t need a ‘cap iron’ to function; there

       are less than five know of these, and this one is in

       premium collector quality condition:

       the cleanest corners possible; left:

  MI29 Extra long chip carving knife; with the slender, long,

       and curved handle, this fine worker has a laminated

       maple handle; nearly 24” long, with loads of life left

       to it; right:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t25.jpg            $45.00

  MI30 Quality archimedean drill with rosewood head and side

       handle; in fine shape, no damage, it takes small drill

       points that are friction fit in the brass chuck; for

       the most precise drilling, the grip pivots as it moves

       over the length; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t26.jpg            $90.00

  MI31 Best Leonard Bailey Victor sliding bevel I’ve owned,

       with clearly stamped (with name and patent date) 10”

       blade; no owners marks, mechanism works fine, no owner’s

       stamps, most japanning remains in the body; a great

       example; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t26.jpg           $465.00

  MI32 Small froe and mallet; a fine working pair, ready for

       more refined work, the blade measures just 5 1/2” long;

       mallet has a burled head, shows signs of heavy use, but

       will outlast you as burl is practically indestructible:

  MI33 Little used Norris A51 smoothing plane; a fine, never

       altered example with all original parts, it retains

       most original surfaces and finish; no owner’s marks, no

       damage to the walnut, 1 5/8” life left to the 2 1/8”

       wide Norris-marked iron; not nearly as common as the

       post war A5 model, it’s a far nicer plane than that one

       and will make an excellent worker:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t31.jpg           $675.00

  MI34 Ten joiner’s morticing chisels with boxwood handles;

       in sound worker shape, five are by T.Herring, the

       others by quality Sheffield makers; the handles are

       in overall fine shape, a few chisels are a bit short,

       but still with life left in them; only seven made it

       in the image, the others are just as nice:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t32.jpg           $290.00

  MI35 Unused Record No.50 “junior” vise; from the 1960’s,

       this vise is ideal for small work, or for junior, and

       is a fine worker that’s so much nicer than the junk

       made in China today; 6” jaws, they open to 5 1/2" max,

       the vise can be mounted flush to the bench or quickly

       added/removed with a simple screw mount; top:

       of the plating; 2” wide blade; bottom left:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t33.jpg            $90.00

  MI37 Same a previous, but in the simpler japanned form sans

       the fancy casting; no damage, a solid worker for those

       who don’t require glitz and flash in their tools;

       bottom right:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t33.jpg            $45.00

  MI38 Extra clean Spear & Jackson 12” back saw with brass

       spine; this one was barely used, with original markings

       on the handle; made for a technical (trade) school, it

       must have been the instructor’s favorite as it escaped

       the ravages that youths normally inflict upon a tool;

       perfectly straight, still sharp enough to use, it has

       flush mounted screws; amazing shape for a pre-WWI saw,

       with no pitting, just tarnish spots; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t34.jpg            $90.00

  MI39 Quality 8” open handle dovetail saw by Tyzack; perfectly

       straight, sharp enough to use on softer woods, no pitting,

       and great quality for a ca.WWI saw; bottom:

  MI40 Clean Sheffield plated brace with a grouping of old

       nosing augers, reamers, and a forked bit for split nut

       screws; while these braces are a dime a dozen, they

       aren’t in this condition and with the spring-loaded lever

       action chuck, which works perfectly; sold by J.Buck, it

       has an 8” sweep; a good amount of original finish

       remains, the lignum head has no play, this one will work

       as great as it looks:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t36.jpg           $175.00

  MI41 Record 077A bull nose rabbet; identical to the earlier

       Preston model, which Record continued after buying out

       that company’s line, this nickel plated model has most

       original plating and no damage about the mouth; 1 1/8”

       wide iron, the nose section can be removed for chisel

       plane work; originally sold with a small shim, to open

       the mouth for coarser work, this one is missing that,

       you can stick anything there to accomplish the same;

       great quality; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t38.jpg            $75.00

  MI42 Preston beading shave; both a left and right bead for

       working both edges of the stock, the short fence suits

       it for also working curved stock; 3/8” diameter beads,

       no damage, just needs a quick cleaning, there’s no much

       japanning left; far less common than the ovolo and ogee

       models; middle:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t38.jpg            $85.00

  MI43 Fine pair of dividers/caliper with adjustable legs; no

       maker’s mark, it’s a professionally made thing and has

       great wing nuts (not visible in the image); no damage,

       extra quality, 7” long, each leg can be rotated 360

       degrees to suit the work; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t38.jpg            $65.00

  MI44 Rosewood slitting gauge with brass wedge; no maker’s

       mark, but definitely a Sheffield product, with all

       original parts; a very versatile gauge for scribing

       the finest lines, parting small moldings, cutting

       veneer, etc.; a knife-like nicker scores the wood,

       this one is a fine worker; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t39.jpg            $75.00

  MI45 Preston 18” mahogany level with large brass plating

       about the vial; clearly stamped with the Preston name,

       this one was never altered or damaged, and better yet,

       cleaned; both vials original and functioning, that

       large empty hole you see is original to the tool and

       saved the tradesman from having to drill his own

       hang hole; a beautiful level; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t40.jpg           $255.00

  MI46 A striking rosewood and boxwood try square; a wonderful

       example of what the gifted craftsman can produce, this

       one has exquisite grain pattern to the rosewood handle,

       the 16” boxwood blade almost being overpowered by it;

       with real age to it, and in fine shape, with small check

       in the boxwood where it’s tenoned into the handle, the

       maker/owner neatly stamped his name in the handle; never

       worry about the heartbreak of pitting with this beauty,

       it’s ready to compliment your finest rosewood plough;

       bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t40.jpg           $195.00

  MI47 Mathieson dovetailed smoothing plane with decal remnants

       on the tote; with no damage to the wood, other than

       usual owner’s marks, this rosewood stuffed smoother is

       in far nicer than usual shape and retains its original

       marked Mathieson iron and cap iron; never cleaned, there

       is the usual oxidation on the steel, that will brighten

       or leave it as is; a fine worker that’s never been

       through the usual UK toolmill:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t41.jpg           $590.00

  MI48 The most magnificent set of Forstner bits you’ll ever

       see, these are the real deal and not some modern made

       in Bulgaristan product; 29 in total, graduated from 1/2"

       diameter all the way up to a nut-busting 3” diameter

       (this beast measures 10 3/4" long!), they are out of

       a patternshop that did highly specialized work; from

       the New Britain, CT manufacturer of Connecticut Valley

       Manufacturing Co, you can’t used these in a brace

       unless you posses super-human strength; the larger ones

       require a 3/4" chuck, the smaller 1/2"; in fine shape,

       never abused, you’ll definitely out-bore your

       competition with these:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t42.jpg           $755.00

  MI49 Millers Falls No.88 jointer gauge; quickly and easily

       attaches to a bench plane so you can get perfectly

       square edges or desired bevels; no damage, with a knob

       that can be positioned at either end, this one is the

       best model offered by any maker; bottom:

  MI50 Three E.A.Berg Eskiltuna bevel edge paring chisels in

       their original Berg-marked pouch; 1/2", 3/4", and 1”

       socketed chisels, each with their original handles

       that have full decals, I’ve never seen them offered

       in such a pouch; never used, and magnificent, best

       quality steel, guys kill for these things:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t46.jpg           $190.00

  MI51 Good cast infill smoothing plane; at just 6 1/2" long,

       it’s in sound worker shape and is being offered at a

       bargain price as the front infill is MIA, something

       that is a simple fix; with shaped side rails, bronze

       lever cap, it’s never been cleaned; a small bruise at

       the top of the corner area of the casting and a small

       crack at the heel (from over-whacking that), it’ll

       be a great little plane with little effort; right:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t47.jpg           $125.00

  MI52 Nine filleting balls; commonly used by patternmakers

       to create precise radii in the corners of patterns,

       these double ended tools are in fine shape and come

       in a range of diameters; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t52.jpg            $55.00

  MI53 Seven barely used Ohio Tool Co. bevel edge socketed

       pairing chisels, along with one gouge (eight in

       total); dating prior to 1900, these things must have

       been locked in some time capsule, waiting patiently

       for a loving home; best quality, each with original

       handle save for one, you can snarf that from the

       gouge (that’s why it’s being offered in the pile);

       widths of 1/8”, 1/2", 3/4", 1 1/4" (some minor tarnish

       at socket), 1 1/2", 1 3/4", and 2”; not a spec of

       pitting, these have the difficult to find widths

       greater than 1”; these will provide several lifetime’s

       worth of work and enjoyment; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t53.jpg           $355.00

  MI54 One of neatest pair of winding sticks I’ve had with

       the unique feature of pegs to keep them together when

       stored; in pristine shape, with bone or ivory inserts

       for better sighting, they are made of mahogany and

       are 17” long; owner neatly stamped his name, these

       simple things are mandatory for planing a surface

       flat; not your run of the mill pair; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t53.jpg           $115.00

  MI55 Odd combination hammer, screw driver, and saw wrest;

       10” long, in overall bright and shiny shape, some

       localized areas of tarnish, it looks never to have

       been used; a weird one; top:

  MI56 Unique double sided dovetail saw with turned rosewood

       handle; 10” long, one side has fine teeth, the other

       work, there’s some tarnish to the blade; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t54.jpg           $115.00

  MI57 Different bit with some stop/plug cutting feature;

       as-found, needs a cleaning, looks to be manufactured,

       there may be some patent info under the grunge; a

       rather complex thing, that probably killed its sales;

       top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t55.jpg            $55.00

  MI58 Three spoon bits secured to bit ring; true spoons, they

       will hold water, if filled, these are the kind that

       fit the Scandinavian style brace with the spring leaf

       engagement mechanism over the chuck; longest if over

       8”, these have real age to them; old spoon bits, no

       matter their source, are difficult to find; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t55.jpg            $95.00

  MI59 Cool mahogany and brass sash screw box; a tool unique

       to the UK, it’s used to drill the end of a sash bar

       to ready it for pegging; due to the extreme accuracy

       required, this thing had to have all sorts of adjust-

       ments to pull that off; in fine shape, 13” long, no

       damage, and ready for the sash crazy fan:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t56.jpg           $285.00

  MI60 Record 778 duplex rabbet plane; this company sought

       to improve the design of the Stanley #78 and did so

       with a two arm fence as well as the standard Record

       adjustment screw that directly engages a slot in the

       iron; all original parts, no damage, a fine worker,

       and no longer in production, it has nearly all the

       original blue japanning and most of the decal atop

       the tote; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t60.jpg            $95.00

  MI61 Uncommon and mint Rabone No.1202 two-foot, four-fold

       boxwood rule with sliding caliper; rules of this

       configuration are scarce by any maker, the caliper

       normally being offered on the shorter two-fold rules;

       other than some minor tarnish to the caliper, this

       one is like the day it was made; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t60.jpg            $65.00

  MI62 Record No.A65 adjustable chamfer shave; made just like

       the Stanley, but far less common, this one is in nearly

       unused condition, with decal remnants on the handle; a

       fine worker; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t64.jpg            $90.00

  MI63 Odd try square with rosewood inlay accented by two

       diamond decorations on each side; with a miter feature

       on the handle, the blade is 7 1/2" long and has a hang

       hole at the very end; blade is in usual square shape,

       with general discoloration; definitely a different one;

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t71.jpg           $385.00

  MI66 Never used extra large and massive lignum vitae mallet;

       with a 7” long head that’s 4” in diameter, this thing

       was designed for the heaviest beating, and I believe is

       now outlawed in certain US cities as a weapon; best

       quality, whatever comes in its way will cower in fear;

       top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t74.jpg            $85.00

  MI67 Cool brass and rosewood hammer; I don’t know the

       function of this one, perhaps ceremonial, it’s a very

       well made thing in extra fine shape; no damage, not

       cleaned, lots of mass, it’s 11” long; has a great feel

       in the hand; bottom:

  MI70 L.S.Starrett combination square with three heads; a

       super cleaned example, with smooth castings, original

       vial and scribe, owner markings etched on hardened

       graduated 12” blade; a fine worker, and of much

       better quality than those available today, now being

       made in China; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t79.jpg            $80.00

  MI71 Small two-penny brace; designed to take the common

       tapered head bits, this one is in much nicer than

       usual shape; measures just 8” long, with a 3” sweep,

       is much smaller than what’s normally found; original

       thumb screw, no damage to the wood, and read to go;

  MI75 Scarce smaller Preston nickel plated rabbet plane; with

       all original parts, including the marked 5/8” wide iron,

       this 5 3/8” long plane has none of the chipping at the

       bed that normally ruins it; no owner’s marks, 85% plating

       remains, a great worker, and definitely not easy to find;

       turned; bottom:

  MI77 A pair of unusual cranked saws; I don’t know what these

       were used for, but it must have been some very fine

       work; I don’t believe they are surgical, perhaps for

       instrumentmaking; professionally made, the shafts have

       a “B” over a crown touch mark; 10 1/2" long overall,

       one handle has a small hang hole:

  MI78 Earlier Millers Falls eggbeater drill with rosewood

       handle and knob; with the star logo, three jaw chuck,

       double gear on frame construction for smooth operation,

       this as-found example is a perfect worker for the

       finest drilling; handle unscrews to store the drill

       points (three are in there); will need a cleaning, if

       that’s your preference, it works fine as is; top:

  MI79 Smaller eggbeater drill by Goodell-Pratt; another

       fine tool, with no damage, only in need of a honing,

       it was sold by one of America’s best hardware dealers,

       A.J.Wilkinson & Co. of Boston; pre-WWI; I’ve only had

       25+ years of active tooling; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t87.jpg           $125.00

  MI81 3” (blade length) drawknife; an unsigned craftsman

       made tool, it was designed for the finest shaving;

       turned handles, one is loose, a shim should take care

       of that, some chipping along the edge, it will need a

       new grinding; bottom:

  MI82 Smaller mallet with trapezoidal head; just 8” long,

  MI83 Very unusual special purpose plane/splitter; with a

       turned knob at one end, a slicing blade directly below,

       fine shape, the body looks to be maple; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t92.jpg           $135.00

  MI84 Fine and delicate hammer with bone handle and file

       worked head; so many hammers today have replaced

       handles to make the mundane magnificent, not this

       one as the handle has been on it since day one;

       extra slender, the head shows considerable work

       with the shaped cross peen; 11 1/2" long, it’s a

       very nice thing; bottom:

  MI86 Early Taylor/London 28” long 3pt rip saw with nicely

       carved handle; the owner of this one made sure that no

       one would mistake it as anyone else’s saw by carving

       his name three times and surrounding it with decorative

       motifs; in sound shape, each cheek is carved similarly,

       the underside of the bottom horn has the owner’s name

       alone carved in it; handle is in fine shape, the under-

       side of the top horn has a chip; a great saw enhanced

       lumber and is not a cordwood saw; looks to be unused,

       a fruitwood; no maker’s mark, it has a 1920’s look to,

       reamers, etc.; 8” by 35”, the box is dovetailed, with

       notched holders for each bit:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t100.jpg          $125.00

  MI92 A great set of 9 reamers with mahogany handles; I’ve had

       a few of these five-side things before, and with ebony

       handles, but never in a graduated and matching set like

       these; the fact that they have mahogany handles, and the

       others ebony, suggests that they were for a very skilled

       and specialized use, perhaps instrument making; whatever

       their intent, these are in fine shape, with one having

       a check in the handle, it’s probable that no other set

       like this exists; measure from 4 1/2" to 13 1/2" long,

       they are in flawless shape:

  MI93 Extra clean all steel Robinson’s Patent sliding bevel;

       the best bevel ever made, this one is in nearly brand

       new condition, with crystal clear patent info stamped

       in the handle, no owner’s stamping, no pitting, and

       as nice as I’ve seen; six inch blade, and an engineering

       work of art; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t102.jpg          $285.00

  MI94 Extra deep throat fret saw with cam lever to tension

       the blade; designed for the elaborate Victorian work,

       the throat is 18” deep; in fine shape, it takes a

       conventional blade that is sandwiched between the frame

       and plate, one thumb screw is an old replacement, it’s

       otherwise all original and in fine shape; a fine worker;

       top:

  MI95 A solid and large drawknife with turned rosewood handles

       by Greaves & Sons; stamped “ELECTRO BORACIC STEEL”, it

       sounds like something that will cure your never ending

       case of the collywobbles; in sound worker shape, with

       no damage, the 9” edge has a hollow ground along its

       edge; wood will run for cover when this one crosses its

       path; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t103.jpg           $95.00

  MI96 A little used Pike washita oil stone with original label

       and box bottom; only one face of this was used, that

       natural stone, it’s 6” long and 1 5/8” square; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t104.jpg           $45.00

  MI97 Manufactured wooden chalk line; by H.H.Hawe, the hollow

       wooden cylinder is filled with the chalk by removing

       one of the wooden ends; in fine shape, no damage, the

       maker’s mark is still inked on it, it measures 3 1/4"

       long; never seen another:

  MI98 Extra clean Record 04 1/2 oversized smoothing plane;

       a ca.1960 model, with all original parts, it was used

       just a couple times and then put away; not to be

       confused with the later plastic handle junk, this is

       a real working plane for a real working professional;

       top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t105.jpg          $125.00

  MI99 Another super clean Record plane, this one the No.03;

       this ca.1960 plane looks to be unused, and only needs

       a honing to start working; bottom:

  MI100 Seven rosewood handle carving chisels; all but one

        by Addis, the single being a Marples; in fine user

        the slot in the setting screw is munged; top:

  MI103 8” ebony level by Preston; never cleaned, no owner’s

        marks, usual wear from use, the vial rattles a bit

        from coming free from the plaster, an easy fix;

        bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t108.jpg           $45.00

  MI104 Nice little boxwood marking gauge; a fine craftsman

        made example that’s five inches long; good point, no

        damage, with maker’s marks; top:

  MI108 Preston 5/8” square ovolo shave; with two irons, the

        tool is ideally suited to work all grains; all original

        parts, 90% japanning, and in sound worker shape, a hang

        hole was drilled at one end; top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t111.jpg           $75.00

  MI109 A unique bark spud by James Howarth; with a rosewood

        handle, and just 9 1/2” long, this special purpose

        tool must have been used on smaller stuff; has its

        original leather cover (tattered), there is a brass

        bit morticed into the handle for hanging it; in usual

        working ones, this 12” long one is a perfectly scaled

        replica of that found in a working shop; everything

        moves, there are two vises and a sliding drawer; not

        a recent creation, it’s ca.WWII, and the perfect

        thing to display your miniature planes; two wooden

        pins that align the top to the base are snapped off,

        that’s a simple repair:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t112.jpg          $285.00

  MI111 Extremely rare Preston router with the large cast

        knobs; while these may look like they were added

        to the tool, they weren’t, as two others are

        identical to this one; Preston must have had some

        left over knobs from their side rabbets and did an

        experimental run using those on the router; with

        two original cutters, the router is free of damage,

        and has most plating worn off; ready to fill out a

        collection of the seemingly endless variety of

        Preston stuff:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t114.jpg          $385.00

  MI112 Another super rare Preston item, this the strange

        one hand quirk router; an L-shaped thing, with two

        fences, it was designed for routing in tight areas;

        has the vernier adjuster position in a unique position,

        the original cutter, unique to the tool, is present;

        in fine shape, with nearly all japanning, this is the

        only one of these I’ve ever offered:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t115.jpg          $585.00

  MI113 Very rare first model Preston chamfer shave; with the

        Y-shape main casting, that was soon changed for greater

        strength, these rarely come along in undamaged and

        little used condition; all original parts, 95%

        japanning, and typical Preston quality; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t115.jpg          $190.00

  MI114 The most amazing and pristine Buck Brothers incannel

        gouges you will ever see; each and every one of them

        is in brand new condition with flawless turned fruit-

        wood handles that are stamped with the stag’s head

        logo; these came with the Ohio Tool Co. bevel edge

        chisels listed earlier, these somehow managed to be

        overlooked for the past 100 years; simply amazing,

        and never will you fine a more virgin set, unless

        you have a Wayback Machine to purchase them new:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t119.jpg         $1185.00

  MI115 Rare planemaker’s float; a beech body that has an

        integral handle, it carries a 2 1/4” by 6” double

        sided rasp that’s stamped S.Osborne&Co, reported

        as a ca.1825 planemaker; two brass nuts secured the

        rasp to the stock, the tool is nicely cleaned, there

        is an early embossed name stamp in the endgrain;

        top:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t120.jpg          $190.00

  MI116 The most complete Preston quirk router, with four

        original fences and six cutters of varying thickness;

        never altered or abused, with nearly all japanning,

        this is a rare survivor due to all the parts; best

        you’ll find, they never show up this complete; bottom:

         http://www.supertool.com/forsale/t120.jpg          $255.00

  MI117 Great solid mahogany tool chest of a much smaller

        size, roughly half-size a typical chest, the images

        fail to show just how nice it is; in perfect shape,

        still with the original key, you’ll likely be fighting

        the Mrs. to store your stuff in it; 32” wide by 20”

        deep by 19 1/2" tall, it has its original dark paint

        and owner’s initials; dates to last quarter of the

        18th century, the mahogany has a rich red color to it;

        drawers were recently felt lined, this was, until

        recently, used to store the best tools of an English

        cabinetmaker, who fit it with casters (easily removed);

        I nearly kept this one myself, but lack of room forces
        me to pass it on:

  MI118 Rugged, solid, massive, and unique combination diaper

        changing table and workbench; with a solid 3 1/2"

        thick laminated maple top, this massive thing is for

        the serious woodworker, who wants a bench that will

        only be moved once - when it’s placed in the shop; the

        top is 80 1/2" long and 32” deep, it dates from the

        1920’s; has a seriously heavy cast iron shoulder

        vise that will smash whatever is placed between its

        jaws, an Athol Machine metalworking vise is at the

        other end; with eight drawers in the base, the only

        clue that it’s a dual purpose item is the decal on

        the door; in fine shape, instantly usable, the maker

        used angle iron and pipe at the base to prevent the

        legs from wearing; when’s the last time you saw

        something so rugged while being so tender for the

        newborn of the house; never, but here, that’s where,

        the wood alone will cost more than the price of

        this, the two vises are $300+; delivery within New

        England and eastern NY can be arranged for a nominal

        fee:

  MI119 Unpicked patternamker’s tool chest; a true time

        capsule of what ca.WWI patternmaking in the UK

        looked like, it’s loaded with planes, gouges, bits,

        saws, and a great assortment of user-made mahogany

        layout tools secured on the lid; the images show

        what’s in the thing best, the purplish color on the

        gouges is a protective coating, most of this stuff

        in fine shape showing little signs of use; will

        instantly make you a woodworker, or just look like

        one, the chest is 34” wide by 17” square:
