It would mean a lot more work than that I am afraid as the saws they are designed for have two fixing points, they simply wouldn't fit at all Take a look at this video on you tube which may give you an idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=RxHRYPCJtzQ I did a similar mod on the...

I believe the ones being suggested are the Pegas clamps Which are a completely different type of blade clamp to the Proxxon See attached For the Proxxon, you might try to find a threaded knob (or make one)

I was in Aldi earlier and they had some sack trucks on offer £9.99 Full size sack truck Don't know if its everywhere or how long they will be around at that price

3 & 4 are correct but no1 is a larger version of no2 Difficult to tell in small pictures though

I think this is quite likely or at least a possibility, I had a closer look and the fillets are about 4mm one side and 5 or 6mm on the other So perhaps the wood used had a former life as a piece of furniture I have looked at quite a few oil stone boxes online and none have that same fillet

Still unsure what the small fillets are for, they don't seem to serve any purpose But as was suggested it could just be a test piece to show it could be done Whatever the reason I am more than pleased with my .50p worth ;-) Its very tactile and pleasing to hold and use With all the old...

No the "India" etc is printed or stamped on the end of the stone, not the box The stone although old, seems to be in very good nick, I will try it out when I get a minute The stone was a very good fit to the box but removable I made the mistake after cleaning and drying of giving it three...

Oh I also found the second tool described as a leather workers spoon stylus tool

Bookbinding is a possibility But I should say that they were not all found together, two were in one box and the others spread around, so they may have originally been for one purpose and become misplaced Also in this large acquisition were two leather punch pliers and two leather mallets...

I was pleased with the outcome The inlays came out with my wash & scrub up, so had to re glue them, I am not concerned about the missing pieces After the soapy wash I noticed on one end is stamped? or printed "INDIA" above that what looks like NO 6? but can't read it fully I noticed there...

Nothing would surprise me with the previous owner who clearly got involved with all sorts Thanks for your input

Thanks for that, I had a closer look last night and realised there is no cutting edge so knew it couldn't be a gouge This chap had varied interests it seems so wasn't sure which interest this fell in, he had some upholstery items, so that may be where it fits in the grand scheme of things I...

Many thanks I had a feeling they were lathe based Much appreciated

...heck are these ? They were quite grubby and some surface rust but they cleaned up nicely The first item with a slip on collar in the centre, has "Bucks Tot Court RD" stamped on it, which I gather were a manufacturer of planes and other tools, but what is this ? The third of longer one...

Thanks for the clarification Crumbs, not cheap are they

Firstly apologies as there were some replies to this I had not seen, so hadn't replied to, I must have missed one notification and so didn't get any more All are gratefully received I came back just to say that after a nice warm soapy bath and a scrub up, the box and stone seem to have come...

...heck are these ;-) Obtained in a job lot of goodies This man had a varied skill set Plumbing, mechanical, lathe use, among others I have no idea what these are, or even if the components all go together The mallet shaped item appears to be the same diameter as the alloy items which...

Thanks for all the replies, its been educational ;-) Just to add that a further search through the oodles of stuff I picked up and I found something rather familiar (well now it is) This chap obviously had a wide number of interests, mechanical, lathe, plumbing, carpentry, upholstery etc...

No on close inspection the tips are snapped off I feel sure they will come in useful for something ;-)

Thanks for the replies I am fairly sure there are a few more odd things in this lot which I may post tomorrow as I don't know what some of them are Its a real mixed bag this lot ;-)
