Thanks Toby and Pete. Anyone that can assist in helping to complete the set is going to have gratitude, as I've been searching and searching to no avail :cry: (hammer) Thats 'old tools' for you.

Hey all, I have not posted here for years, so apologies I've a stepped over any boundaries or broken rules. I have a 1/2 set of H&R marked with the unusual "Sims Queen St Westminster London" which is in both upper and lower incursive script, as are the 1st owners marks. Set is almost complete...

Nice work Philly.... I'm sure that you'll get a lot of enjoyment using it. I really want to make a smart comment about breaking timber near glue lines or something... but can't find anything that hasn't already been said on another thread! :roll: :wink: That spalted beech looks nice...

thanks Mike. Its in there! :D thanks for not dobbing me in to the admins, Scrit!

A friend is looking for pictures or a description of Danish lunchboxes, so he can make some. He saw them when he was living in Denmark as a child in the late 70's. They were a wooden box box that opened at the end (or possibly both ends), and had a series of trays that slid out of the box...

If you need to carry honing oil/fluid around in the site toolbox and can't find a good, tough, bottle... the squeeze bottle type insect repellant or sunscreen bottles make excellent containers. Get the ones with a screw on cap. Originally I needed a reliable bottle to carry around my rifle oil...

well done, very thorough

Thanks for the challenge and the long wait in which to anticipate the answers and generally think it over. Thanks also for revealing the clues. Apologies not accepted, as none are needed. :D I hope that the bad weeks are over and that you get to play with your new tools with your mind in a...

Hopefully Mike can explain the clues... the "married a fish" has got my stumped. Plus, I keep thinking about it! :roll:

Looks like a good one. Other than doing some work in it to make it work, it looks like it will be a good looker as well. Goodonya!

VBM (Very Best Made) was a marketing slogan used on Sargent planes between 1910 and 1918, thus dating your plane. The only 'trouble' with the 400 range is that the blade and lever cap has to be removed to adjust the frog. Not really an issue though. The VBM's have a thicker casting than the...

Pekka: A video (my first video, so don't expect quality) on MDF wheel sharpening. You have to register on the site to download the torrent video file, but its all free. http://www.woodworkforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=101 Other threads are here: http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthrea ...

If $ wil be pushed, perhaps you should consider one of the 2 cheaper sets from LV... one maker is Narex, the other is LV. Good quality (else LV would not sell them), they may fit the budget and the Narex ones are a set of 8 for @ US$70. A good set to start off with and you will always need a...

I had a laugh at that. Well, thanks again, I appreciate your efforts. I will keep asking around and if I find out who the maker is I'll let you all know. I bounced around a little and found a cutlers listing of makers and found a few W. Greaves, but its a long draw without any pics of marks to...

Thank you both for your thoughts and info. Alf - I'd remove the two sound handles (the others are bodgy replacements) so I can have the set that looks like a set. :wink: I'll keep the two sound handles in my 'box of bits' so they can go back on later if I feel like it. I buy tools out of...
