Sparks no.70 plane and a very nice vice.

Douglas of this parish has recently taken delivery of one of Oliver's finest and posted a review here:

Douglas is no armchair expert or even your average woodworker, if I had the money I'd be ordering one of his very impressive leg / carvers vice hybrids.

Here's Jim giving it one hell of a workout, think you might need a more substantial bench to get the best out of it though.

I got to see this plane before it was posted off and I can confirm it was absolutely stunning both in its construction and more importantly it's performance. Douglas is a very lucky boy

That's a plane I would seriously consider buying and frankly at a much higher price than is being asked.

Thanks for mentioning Carl... I was wondering where all the site traffic was coming from !! :shock:

Dead right Richard, it's a beauty to behold but even better to use. Very pleased with my choose there.
May I mention I did actually pay the asking for that plane, the fact Oliver has been testing the vice is a completely separate issue and will stay that way... I feel another Sparks coming on, damn.

p.s. another thing Richard... so my No70 was really second-hand.
