so on a rainy week off what better to do then to go tool hunting
hatherleigh market in mid devon was my destination of choice today, with a sale of general household effects every tuesday i figured a few tools might be lurking beneath the rubbish. also with the usual market stalls i knew that the second hand tool dealer would be there with a couple hundred quality old woodworking tools to tempt me from my moneys alas not today, i nearly bought a stanley no 80 cabinet scraper though.
with only a couple box of tools today that caught my eye i set about bidding the first box had two braces and bits that caught my eye, the second a thos turner brass backed tennon saw `improved` along with various other gardening, metal working and wood working tools (too many to list) between the two box`s. and guess what i bought them both for eight pounds each.
the skinner brace caught my eye having never seen one like it so i thought i would share it with you, along with a rather unlovely stanley brace. the twist bits and the tenon saw (another refurb project).
how easy is it to sharpen the twist bits? is there any good guides or advice that anyone could give me.
cheers, mark.
