mmm I can almost smell the whisky.

Coopers plane ?

 

[Sheffield Tony]

A coopers sun plane. Somehow I find them strangely appealing, but I can't convince myself that I have a use for one !

 

[cedarwood]

found in the carpenters workshop in a silk mill, I think it may have been used in the repair and making of the wooden drive gears of the water wheel power system.

Topping plane .Works with the same principle as a block plane .
