Christmas is coming.......

[woodbloke]

Been down to Phillysville this afternoon and had a very enjoyable time playing with all the kit....wonder how many of you wouldn't mind Father Christmas filling up your stocking with one or twelve of these :lol: :

Someone else we all know arranged some chisels similarly to this.. :-k
Phill - thanks for a really great afternoon, hope you can call in to see my 'shop before Christmas or at some time in the New Year - Rob

It was great to see you-pop by any time!
We were trying to do an "Alf-Style" circle of planes but we run out of light. And my bench wasn't big enough.
Obviously we didn't run out of planes......
Cheers
Philly

P.s.-Very good Chas :lol:

You mean you travel the country dishing out planes to the undeserving! :shock: I think you'd really like Cornwall... :lol:

 

[Waka]

Come on guys, Philly may have a lot of planes but he assures me that he uses them all.

Now if you combine Philly's and Martins collection you'll need about four benches.

Rob, be glad to have you down in the new year when I get back from Hol's,
Could be a good chance to get the 3 woodkateeras together.

Are you calling me a c*******r? :?:
I deeply resemble that remark.....
Look forward to seeing you soon before you jet off!

Rob,

You are welcome at my humble abode any time you are passing by, just give me a bell, 07774-773414 and pop in for a cuppa! I really enjoyed having a run round your WS with Waka the other day.

Same goes for anyone else in the area, you are all welcome.

Regards
Martin

We just cannot let Phillyand Rob do all the gloating.

Soo.... any interesting new/old tools in time for Christmas?

I recently acquired a Stanley #51/52.

It is basically in good nick but I still have a fair bit of work to do on this #51 to make it work as well as my ramped shooting board. It looks great in the pictures but I got it for about 1/2 market value as the frog has been repaired and the bedding is not quite correct . It needs a new lever cap (easy enough) and a new hold down (anyone?). I shall have some fun sorting it out over the Christmas holidays.

The other acquisition was a LN Anniversary #4 1/2. Well, I do have a birthday around the corner.

I'm feeling a little overawed at present. Very spoilt.

Regards from Perth

Derek

 

[Philly]

Awww....Derek! :shock:
Great haul! #51/52 AND Anniversary #4 1/2.
Enjoy..
Merry Xmas
Philly

 

[Alf]

Sheesh, yes, let's not let Phil and Rob do all the gloating. Cripes, Derek, what a way to counter it! :lol: I keep telling myself a signed 103 block plane is going to be much rarer than one of 500 4 1/2s, but it's hard... :roll: :lol:

Cheers, Alf

 

[Rob Lee]

A bouquet for Alf.... :ho2

Not as many as Philly, nor as old as Dereks....

Hi

What is the "frog"? I am keen to learn, but apologise for all of the questions!
Also are the blades on the plane the same as other planes, as mine is quite short?

Cheers

Dave

I am also looking for the clamp, to hold the work down on the #52 stanley? I was wondering if anyone has a decent picture of the clamp, so that I can get one made, are they cast or milled?

 

[Alf]

A bouquet for Alf.... :ho2

For me? Too kind. I'll keep an eye out for the Fed Ex man then... :lol:

Cheers, Alf

Who may learn to dread the Fed Ex man if he repeats today's trick of claiming no-one was in, despite three people being on the premises all day. :evil:
