How I store my hand tools - how do you do yours?

[Benchwayze]

PS. Don't listen to that Garnham bloke - you can never have too many planes

Ask him how many cricket bats and balls he's got tucked away! :wink:

Cheers Mike!

 

[Waka]

We're just surrounded by collectors :wink: :wink:

I made a Lignum mallet from a bowling ball nearly 20 years ago and it was superb.

Mattty, are all bowling balls Lignum Vitae, I have a couple and wouldn't mind making a good mallet out of one of them.

I believe the older ones are.. Certainly the better quality woods will be LV.
I ran some down on eBay, but they were too nice to turn into a mallet/s. I am still looking!

For Mike G again, here's a few more:

Two and none (I don't collect! )

..and just for Mike. This is my somewhat minimal plane collection

I like you more and more Tom......even though you have about twice as many planes as you need.....

Mike

 

[John. B]

I think a few of these lads need to get out more :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[Karl]

Come on Tom - you're letting the Collectors side down. I don't see a jointer for a kick off.

Nice LN by the way :wink:

Cheers

I wish I didn't collect.. But I do!

Karl: Honestly, I can't see me buying many more planes. I think the only one I want is a scraper plane. I have no desire to dimension wood by hand, life is too short. I'd buy a compass plane if one come up. The No.9 is a pure luxury, but it's fantastic in use. Really glad you forced it on me

 

[Tom K]

So would this count as a collection?

Very jealous of Robs Record screwdriver though :mrgreen:

 

[Ironballs]

No, it's an obsession

Somebody get that quote from Tom and pin it up on the board somewhere, we can remind him of it when he's bored of having the entire LV catalogue in his shed and is asking us what we think of Norris' :wink:

 

[Philly]

Come on Rob, Mike's about to have a heart attack :lol:
Let him know not all those planes were yours,
Philly :lol:

OK Philly, I'll come clean This collection of ironmongery was assembled at the Bash we had a couple of years ago now at my place. One or four early Phillyplanes there, along with a genuine Krenov plane, my super fettled No4, couple of multi-planes and of course the LN Phillybrush - Rob

Isn't that the original screwdriver (lower left) for your Record 405?

 

[Paul Chapman]

No, it's mine and it's the screwdriver for my Stanley #55

Cheers :wink:
