Plane no. 7 a beech plough plane. Looks like a marples type but there is no makers name on it works well though and is a nice clean example Cheers Jon

I was gutted I couldn't make it last year so hopefully can make it this year Cheers Jon

Plane no.6 A mahogany infill shoulder plane. This was made a friend of the person I bought the planes from. I was told it was made whilst he was doing an RAF apprenticeship during the 50's . The maker then went on to be a cabinet maker using this plane throughout his career. There is finely made...

Plane no.5 a rosewood infill chariot plane a little larger than the norris. Needs a bit of fettling on the wedge to get the blade to seat square. For robin here's a few shavings click on pic for video. Don't know much about this one . Build is a bit less refined than some of the others...

The top of the wedge has the usual hammer dings but no sign of hand wear. In use it is quite comfortable using your hand flat over the top of the front Cheers Jon

A little bit less than the lie nielsen 51 I bought a couple of years ago Cheers Jon

She's a bit heavy sides are about 6mm thick There not the sort of planes you see everday that's for sure. Cheers Jon

Hi Bern I actually ground and then honed the blade on this one. The back needed a bit more work than I have time for at the moment but it was sharp enough to shave hairs of my arm. It worked really well once the bade was setup :D Cheers Jon

Hello tonight's offering is a no5 size infill plane. I think the infill is either ebonised mahogany or beech . The iron is marked I Sorby. Don't know much else about it apart from it looks pretty old to me. Thanks for looking and again any info or comments most welcome Cheers Jon

Fast ship? You've never heard of the millennium falcon. Great job Cheers Jon

Thanks Andy that looks spot on . Its been done very competently by whoever did it. The rest will be coming I'm trying to photograph one per day. I think we may have peaked early with the quality but there is still some good stuff to come. Cheers Jon

I assume this is of interest to some so I will continue . Managed to get some pics of plane no.3 . This is an unmarked rosewood wedge small bullnose plane . The iron is stamped Jowett Cheers Jon

Looking good bob . Have you nipped back for a midnight skinny dip? Cheers Jon

A retiring woodworker in his 80s recently contacted me to see if I wanted to buy some interesting planes that he had collected and used so I went to take a look and bought them off him. I bought 13 in total most which are quite unique and mostly unmarked. I've put the pics up on my instagram...

Out of curiosity and being bored watching Liverpool in the champions league I checked out the prices of the hinges on the hafele site with my discount there about half the price of the sds ones Cheers Jon

Avoid Skegness Cheers Jon

For wooden drawer boxes I would recommend grass dynapro as they have better adjustments over the Blum tandems which are also good. For metal drawers boxes grass and Blum do some good runners Cheers Jon
