Gloat thread

[tobytools]

Hi Toby

The hardest part was getting some threaded studs made as they are a nonstandard thread.
I made mine slightly larger for better control.


Pete

I may struggle then lol, if it's not brook don't fix it I guess. I would like to change tho. Do you have you process documented with pics ect?

TT
Thanks

Its just a case of turning a couple of handles and gluing in the studding.

Better pic



Get it sharp and test it first, is probably the best thing to do.

Hi Jim

Haven't got anything in mind, I didn't know I was getting it!

Probably some box type thing.

These are a couple of my fave gloats. The Groves saw was a pound and the #6 stanley was £2. I spent a bit of time on the Groves saw and the #6 needs quite a bit of elbow grease. The frog is in an oil bath as we speak. The cap iron screw is almost fused into the frog. Im worried I might have to get another frog.

My whole tool collection is full of gloats. 95% of my tool's are from bootsales :lol:

Thanks Jimi, I have been on the hunt for some more abandoned tools to give a new breath of life, im well and truly sliding down the slope :lol:

All these screws and the router free from work.

Stanley joist brace - £1

Record 042 Shoulder plane - £18

And my favourite gloat, a Charnley stone for a pound!

This is rather late in the day but, in my opinion the Hock irons makes a huge difference to any Stanley scraper plane.

My 6th DVD has a chapter on the 112 Scraper plane. I lists the ten things which I notice give people trouble.

If these things are done right, the 112 is a fantastic tool for scraping large areas. (Basically it is set up just like a No. 80, it is not difficult).

Best wishes,
David Charlesworth

Absolutely no doubt that they are real Cubans because anyone selling fake ones would be out of business at 50p a pop!!! :mrgreen:

Major find for a cigar buff if they are real!

Given the dangers recently announced of the contents of fake tobacco products, it might be worth checking though....

CLICKITY CLICK

Well done mate! If I still smoked...I would be really chuffed with that find!

Some excellent gloats so far!

OK I know a bullnose plane is not all that useful, but how about a Record 077A in practically unused condition, although there is a bit of rust on the plating, and it looks like the full length blade still has the factory bevel, for £4?
