Visited The Toolman in the market today. He had a very nice looking Stanley #7 jointer.
Could I resist it? :roll:
Like **** I could! :?
Very nice clean condition, real rosewood handles, not stained beech. Not the original blade unfortunately but I may get another anyway. The lever cap is not the modern sort with the kidneyish shaped hole but just the keyhole shape. I believe this means it is quite old?
Carried it around town for about an hour, hadn't realised just how heavy these really are. :?
Anyway, been sitting on my desk in work all afternoon and has drawn quite a few comments as you can imagine.
Looking forward to actually using it although not much chance as we are away for a few weekends now.
Oh well, perhaps I'll leave it on my desk in work and fondle it every now and then. :wink:
