Always a handy set to have but just in case someone has these and finds a problem with one of the heads I believe it needs unscrewing and turning around. Cheers Andy

Being in Hinckley, you're my "go to" for those odd bits I need, still got the container of delights out back of the shop ? Little snippet of a family connection here as my Uncle Herbert Anderton was a saw doctor for the mill back in the day. Good to see you on board and top marks on the website

Homemade? Table tennis net holders ? Cheers, Andy

Well, there's at least one real example. It's been a while but somewhere I have pictures of the original before it was completely finished. Cheers, Andy

Go,go,go.... Tell em you thought you heard a kitten. Lol

Not sure how much guff you were having to route around in but I'd have been tempted to give it a forensic going over. The front infill looks to have parted company (maybe rust split it off) only very recently and possibly at the same time that repaired handle. Those two problems are somewhat...

Interesting with that anchor having no cross bar and the S on top. An observation on these planes if I may, all 3 are quite likely machine made examples owing to the roundness of the chamfers on the edges and the edges of the mouth opening. Are there any numbers stamped on the heel of the body's?

Perhaps some more pictures of the smaller plane and the trademark ? Is it an uncut iron and what is the trademark on it please. Cheers, Andy

I have to admit that I don't believe I have any Marples tools in the collection with the anchor trademark. Heck, until now I was sure you were referring to something else. Thanks, you've opened my eyes. Cheers, Andy

I believe that in 1854 it became "& sons" and in 1897 became "Ltd". Mind you, I'm not certain I've seen any plane irons marked "Ltd" so maybe carried on with this mark ? You will be better informed of the plane maker by a name stamped on the front end of the plane if it's different from Marples.

You may already be sorted but VEXGOLD in Leicester will definitely have what you're after and I believe delivery should be available. Cheers, Andy

Are you talking about the Shamrock trade mark of Marples ? Cheers, Andy

Yes, definitely Berry, a few other Berry's listed but only one A Berry. Cheers, Andy

Can't get at the updated BPM4 just now but in BPM3 the dates covering 2 separate London addresses are 1878-1880 and then 1883 - 1889. There might be a bit of very faint marking (an address) in between the two very visible lines showing here. Cheers, Andy

Bear in mind that this could be a spindle from a multi-spindle drilling machine. Cheers, Andy

Be hard pressed to say it's not faulty, where did you buy it from as some outlets like "Workshop Heaven" for example offer a lifetime warranty. Deductions from your pictures.... This isn't about where you are clamping and using the stock as the damage is right to the ends. The part that pulls...

A few pictures would do a world of good Mrs C. Cheers, Andy

Router fastened to a stout board and overhung on the edge of the bench, the hole for the cutter just big enough and the fence fashioned to be a snug fit around the cutter. This provides minimal access to the cutter for the fingers while hand feeding JUST NOTICED THE 2MM THICKNESS That's a thin...

Not as much as I hate the dentist who removed the tooth next to it saying that was the problem....
