Cheshirechappie Thanks for the info about the chisel. It is a lovely thing to just hold. I'd found something about Ibbotson on line and saw it was taken over around 1905. It is 2ins. I'll have a closer look at it re tapering. Sure all cabinet making starts with "what the...? if I just...

jimi43 Yes, it was so bright I could hardly see where the thing was! Added to that this lil camera makes everything blue. I think I may just whack it on fleabay. Truth is I've got so much stuff to go thru...I've got to start somewhere. The cap iron is the piece on top of the cutting iron...

No decent pics of the Norris plane. Here's what I have so far

jimi43 I am at home. My camera is in Newcastle (not home) - so haven't got any decent pics of the lil Norris plane. Going to put what I have on photobucket and hope the camera is back soon.

Pics of the big chisel.

For the love of all that's holy. A terrible week followed by my computer running into a full scan.... just when I have tool pics to share. That thunk sound? It's my head hitting the table. I'll be back.... drags off in search of hard liquor.

Cheshirechappie I have a pointy prongy thing for paint tins so it's safe. J

jimi43 Picture makes me even more suspicious. I wont clean it. J

jimi43 Will get more pics as soon asap. Something about the iron. To me it looks "homemade". It's not symetrical. Get me..iron! HA!

toolsntat Thanks for the "steel" link. This little plane looks very like the Norris no. 6 Smoother. Well given that this one's filthy...

@jimi43 The little plane is a Norris. Just dug it out and can make out Norris London. Very excitedly thought I could see another marking and saw it says "steel" HA! I can't see a name on the blade. Really enjoying just finding out about them. Come across lovely big chisel (9ins blade) by Thos...

AndyT Is planing a bit off your desk a common hazard of "just wonder how this works..."

stoatyboy Haha goth's necklace. I'm happy it's not worth much 'cos I like it and do a lot of messing in gardens. I saw your chain saw thread. Thanks

jimi43 No worries. It is wax. I've bought a few small chairs in last few years and they always need a clean just to make them "handleable". ta.

Thomas Hayman hahaha. Nice try.

Thanks jimi43. I will get some pics of that metal plane at bottom right.

Thanks Cheshirechappie. You were absolutely right. I looked in the carpenters tool box and there was a canvas roll full of bits. Along with lots of other stuff like a no. 44 Record Plough Plane. I don't know if it's all there but it's in the bottom of the original box. All I've done...

Harbo Thanks for that. J

toolsntat It's just the beginning. But time to walk the dogs I think. Thanks for looking. Any info on what the heck some of those things are...very gratefully received. For example..is that a drill...near the mallet? Cos I think I have two of those. J
