DISGUSTING FILTH! SHOULD BE BANNED AT ONCE. This is the sort of thing that is undermining British values, the Christian way of life and Hetrosexual marrage :shock: :twisted: (hammer)

 

[Muina]

Ok... I need a sit down...

 

[studders]

Thats not gratuitous Plane ****..... No sign of a Woodie anywhere.

 

[Vann]

Hmm...

So as well as your USA Stanley 5½ (with 2¼" irons), you have:
a Veritas DX60;
a Veritas large shoulder plane;
a Veritas bullnose plane;
a Lie-Nielsen skew block plane; and
a Lie-Nielsen No.4½.

Someone's been spending some money :!:

Very nice, but where's the Clifton? (hammer)

Cheers, Vann.

Hi,

New and shiny is all o/k but numbers count.

:wink: :shock: :wink:

Blimey Pete, that looks more like a tool shop.

Is that a little Bill Carter toward the back right or is that just wishful thinking?

 

[Alf]

Very nice, Pete. Unfortunately I can't get all my planes into one picture...

 

[Racers]

Hi, Richard

I wish I had a Bill Carter.

There are a few Pete Maddex's who ever he is

I have sold some since that photo, and made and bought some more so probbaly the same number, 120 ish.

Alf, :shock:

Here's my Bill Carter:

But it's only about 25mm long!

Here was a shot of my collection a few years ago

Alas I have sold quite a few of them over the last couple of years, thus proving that there is a way of climbing one's way back up "The Slope". Sadly, this cash has founds itself swallowed up in a new slope - Cast Iron.

Cheers

[Racers]

Hi, Chaps

Just had a thought, if Karl Holtey posts a pic in this thread we are all done for

[jimi43]

So Mark....explain your original post and the sudden rushed upgrade...did you get a great bulk deal or is the bootfair logic paying off at last!!!!! 8)

 

[markturner]

Actually, it's not the full family, here they all are, we have:
Type 15 No 7 bailey, Type 9 No 6 bailey, Type 11 No 5.5 bailey, Veritas low angle smoothing plane, late model Norris A5, Lie Nielsen 4, Stanley 78 rabbet plane, Veritas DX90 block plane, Lie Nielsen 140 skew block, Clifton dado plane, Veritas flush plane, vintage Stanley 66, Veritas large shoulder plane and Veritas Bullnose plane.

its a bit like a bad crack habit.......... 8) :lol: Still, the wife prefers it to motorbike racing which was my last passion...

Nice collection Pete!! Is there such a thing as plane envy??

Jimi43 - Have always had 3 or 4, ( the veritas low angle, block plane and bullnose, just for my general carpentry work,) but just got into collecting in the last 3 months, I am buying old ones on Ebay and restoring them now for fun, have a 4.5 on the way and a 6 on the go at the moment. I am really loving doing it and am also learning some useful stuff as I go. I see you are a boot fair man, I have never been to one, can recommend any near me? ( central London)

Toolsnat: I can see there is a long way to go down this road yet...... very nice collection!

Now I just need to get my skills up the level where I can fully use all the ones I have. I am teaching myself cabinetry, having been a finish carpenter and kitchen fitter all my life.


Cheers, Mark

 

[Alf]

Oh, you have so had it. Motorbike racing has nothing on the speed you can pick up on The Slope.

Is there such a thing as plane envy??

Oh yes.

 

[paulm]

I managed to resist for a while but then had to give in :mrgreen:

And yes, they have all been used Paul (Chapman), but cleaned off scrupulously afterwards of course :lol:

Cheers, Paul
