Hi,
I went to the car boot today, I got about half way round and spotted a stall with loads of tools including a box with lots of moulding planes, wooden planes etc 22 it total. When I started looking through the women said she was selling them as a lot for £5! so I had them and she had some nice chisels for £2 each and a miter square for £3 so I sorted out some stuff and paid the £12. then she came over with a small plane and said she had kept it to one side, she wanted £10 for it, but I had only got just under £6 left, so I offered to put a couple of chisels back, but she let me have it for the nearly £6. So I now have a Stanley No98 side rebate plane.
The planes
The No98 and the compass plane
They are a mix of hollows and rounds, moulding planes, rebate planes, a wedge arm plow with out the arms etc but with the wedges. A very cute small compass plane. One of the big wood planes has a rebate in the side, its in the middle on the left, I haven't seen one like that before. Now all I need is time to clean them sharpen and make some new wedges. God knows what other bargins I missed on the rest of the stalls but I had spent up and had to go!
