carboot bargains

[tobytools]

i thought i would make a chat about weekend carboot bargains, just to show off some of the great deals that you can get
so post away.
(got alot but the cream of the crop was as followed)
ill start, this sunday i got a
9' hand plane with no number or anything on it, has a bolt holding the tote in plane. its not as wide as a no4 as shown in pic. has "goodall" stamped on the iron. brought for £1. all i know about thats is:

Samuel I. Goodall manufactured this plane between 1894 - 1896, when making this plane he copied Bailey’s patents almost exactly, except the bed is slightly shorter than the equivalent planes that Stanley made. This plane most resembles Stanley’s first lateral type-5 plane.

In 1896 Stanley purchased the Goodall plane manufacturing business, which put an end to this short lived competition.

This plane is not made as refined as the Stanley equivalent, upon close examination I see some hand filing - grinding in order for some of the parts to fit properly.

also a 14" huge mortics chisel brought for £5 cant make out maker any help! pics up side down sorry

Nice to see a boot sale thread again. Two weeks worth here.



Last week: WS A5 with broken handle. I thought it would make a good project, but it has a repair, albeit a very good one, on both cheeks. It's good and straight, but I'll probably move it on for spares or repair. Which is much the same story as the Record no4, bought with the WS but with a broken handle, bent blade etc. but for £4 the pair, worth a punt.

This week: Nice straight Spear and Jackson 12 inch 12ppi small tenon/big dovetail saw. An early one going by the lambs tongue handle. £1.




Another Record no4, a good user this time though ok, for £3



Finally a Stanley no6, USA type 11. A really lovely plane, stinks of machine oil but no rust. Pushed the boat out on this one, but worth every penny of its £10 price.



A good couple of weekends, tools have been thin on the ground this season, no bad thing according to my wife, but fingers crossed for the rest of the summer!

@ Scouse, an early No6 for a tenner!! are you competing with Jimi in the 'Jammy Get' competition?

 

[Racers]

Some nice bargains there chaps, all I got was a broken 4 fold rule for 10p, they are a nice source of Box wood.

I'm not quite at that world class standard yet! It's funny how you don't see anything for weeks and then loads all in one go; the bloke with the no6 also had an earlier no4 without a frog adjusting screw, but I only take £15 ish and I had run out of money!

I bought a few bits in the last couple of weeks.

I bought this for £1

... and turned it into this:

I got this for £3

... which now looks like this:

and this Stanley No 4 for £3:

... which I just cleaned up and refurbed the handles:

Then I came across this and bought it out of interest really for the blade. £2.

I popped it into the DC voltage bath for three hours.

This is how it came out after a wipe.

The blade edge is really clean but I'm at a 10 photo limit on uploads so can't show it in this post. If anyone is interested I'll add a reply. I've seen the same blade on offer for ~£45 so no problem on the £2 purchase. I'm not sure what to do with that wooden plane yet though.

I was quietly hoping the blade might fit the old Bedrock 607 I was given, but no.

Snap!

I didnt get mine from a boot sale, I have been looking for one of these for some time so I can bore holes in confined spaces where no lecky is available.
Have been spending most of my time recently helping on my daughters new allotment. Had to replace the whole roof with some awkward/confined drilling. I bartered the cost to down £9.00. Dont know if this is a good price but I am happy.

 

[graduate_owner]

I bought a nice Crown Cryogenic scraper for £4, and an unused Kity spindle moulder for £30, complete with DeWalt moulding head and about 6 pairs of cutters (no motor though). I was very pleased. I don't think I could justify shelling out £100's for a spindle moulder because I don't use it that often, but it's great when I do need it.
I also had a very nice plough plane with a box of cutters (all square edge, different widths) for £15. The guy had another with a full set of profiled cutters for £25, I wish I'd bought it now (although I haven't yet used the plough plane and I bought it about 2 years ago. Still, one of these days it will be indispensable).

Are you sure? It looks like a perfectly ordinary woodie blade.

If I can get anywhere like £45 for a blade, I may have to eBay my way through my spares box to earn some pocket money!

Hi guys - well I might be wrong about the price point? I found this which I think is an identical blade, on offer for £42 +delivery?

I see in my crystal ball a glut of plane irons on evil bay!

Hi Flynnwood,
I'm doing a handles refurb myself on a Stanley No3, Any tips on how you got the original varnish off?, I know most paint and varnish removers now are next to useless so was it back to tried/ trusted approach of working through coarse to fine grits of sandpaper until the old finish is gone and scratches are removed. Also noticed you'd left the handles as were and hadnt coloured, stained or revarnished, just oiled, that's a nice look!

I've seen some of Bugbear's advice and links on handles refurb as well, just wondered if anyone else has some good advice?

Cheers
Steve,

Hi Steve - I just used 3M 80 grit to clear off the original coating (about 5 minutes), then spent a couple of hours sanding.

Cheers
