There was two wedges left on it, which I’ve put somewhere less likely to become lost!

Came across this vintage card packaging for hammer wedges, guessing 50s / 60s, in a tool chest of my fathers. Can’t help thinking this type of amusing packaging would be welcome in today’s world.

Hi Geoff, Just found the mark, yes, your correct it is faint, just make out Q S B.... and Winchendon. I was playing around with it earlier, not to difficult, however would take a little getting used to in practice. It becomes harder to put any pressure on the brace bit, as one hand needs to be...

Argus, Jacob, Geoff, thank you, always amazed at the knowledge members have for obscure items :) It does indeed appear look a fiddle to use, will get it cleaned up, it’s all a bit stiff, but will see what it’s like to use. Hopefully will find some markings underneath the rust.

Another strange item, although sure it won’t be to some on the forum. Turning the threaded end turns the ball joint In the middle and so the hooked end. The threaded end can be unscrewed, revealing a hollow section. There is also a strange opening o the threaded end.

Nice work, especially like yew bowl. I have a record power coronet herald, and I do rate it, it’s a good all rounder imho, and the support / advise from record power is excellent.

Thanks Adam, if only previous owners hadn’t placed their stamps over the makers stamp !

Am with Orraloon on the, looks very much like it stated life as a bolstered mortice chisel. I’ve a couple of unusual turning tools I’ve acquired that were included in a bundle of turning chisels, they’d been ground for a specific one off task maybe. One was a Taylor mortice chisel, new full...

Thanks all, with your comments and some additional research online, I’ve ordered one now. The retailer is local, price is within average of online and big box stores, and chose them as they will waive the delivery charge being local, can deliver next day and have a reasonable reputation...

Can anyone identify this planemaker?

Thanks chaps.

Has anyone any experience with Liebherr refrigeration appliance, specifically fridge freezer. I am told that Liebherr make the Miele appliances, and also their own models, at considerably less cost. Quick search online does seem to suggest this is the case so wondering what the quality is like...

When I bought my record lathe 2017, a demonstrator from Record Power, indicated that whilst much of their products were made off shore, there was a serious desire to bring much of the manufacturing back to the UK over time. At the time, a fair amount was made in the UK, my herald coronet was...

Thanks CC, apologies for being late to say !

Well done, very respectable for first efforts.

Not quite in the same scale as some of the others, however, this is the Dancing House, new town Prague, so called as it for some, looks like two people dancing, was on my daily commute when I lived Prague, and took me a while before I could visualise it.

Nice. Soon you’ll be seeing with new eyes whenever you pass a pile of logs !

Came across this on my tool chest exploration, sharing it on forum as it may be of interest to some on here who like old vintage stuff. Was either my fathers or grandfathers, not sure about date. From what little I know of L&E, mainly car jack manufacturers and workshop equipment, so this is...

Here’s another & T Herring London, straight spoon gouge. Am inclined to think that this stamp was possibly after Edwin and Thomas parted ways from business and the E was removed, a possibility ?

I’d say you’ve made a good job of that.
