car boot 26/1/2014

[Mr_P]

Spotted an indoor car boot advertised indoors and not far so popped along this wet morning. Lot of stalls but slim pickings did find some bargains though.

£7 for the lot

Marples mallet head, didn't spot the worm or the name until I got home
Record spokeshave 151 , currently seized
Coffin smoother with brass sole, prob scrap
1 rasp with bent handle
7/8" chisel something ton & Davis cracked handle
Perfect screwdriver in need of work
Slate hone and a combination oil stone.

No idea what the other 3 are

My mallet head is confusing me, had a look through an old Marples catalogue online similar to the Tinman's mallet but mine is 3.5" diameter they only go upto 3" .

This was last week’s £32.00 the millers falls grinder will need a few bits making for it.

Yep two quirks for doing inlay work, a woden hold fast (missing the ring), that guy asking 35 for the scraper JMHO but he could be waiting a long time before he gets that.

that was some haul

i never seem to find taps dies or 10mm spanners

and only ever seen one carp grinder

worse thing i done was walk away from a clean Trend T11 because it was 110v for £20 didnt even looked used

shame about the ring..and will probably never find one

off to google quirks

You might have better luck looking for a coach builders router. Basically one is wood and the other is metal but both doing the same job

Speak to one of the newbies on here, i will try and find him. Something was posted today about him, something to do with old tools. He tracks down spare parts etc.

EDIT
Can't find the thread from earlier, but this is the guy to talk to.

Aye curamba I'd check that again if I was you (73.11 + p&p).

Pretty sure the Woden has the same diameter leg as the Record/Marples holdfast, and the bench inserts for them are still available, aren't they? I have a Woden and a Record and they seem interchangeable.

Billy, Steve

This post has some details on various sizes of rings for holdfasts that need them.

Good information Andy.

I`m left wondering how it is that I`m quoted as saying something that I never said ?
