Fettling
Hi Folks
I hope all is well with you.
I've been back rummaging around Car boot sales. I found a few old wood planes. An Acorn smoothing plane and a couple of Stanley rebate planes, and record and Stanley spokeshaves
Here they are after a bit of Fettling, my favourite is the Stanley No 78 rebate plane.

Hey
Hi Everyone
So I wondered if I was still live on here.
It looks like I am, yes I dropped off the radar.
After taking down my workshop then chopping off a couple of fingertips during the lockdown. They were stitched back on though . A lot less feeling in them now, but hey I'm ever so glad to have them!
I'm rebuilding I have my new space for working and I'm finding pleasure from making shavings again.

Mending
Hi folks
So you might be thinking I have been busy making lots of nice things. That wasn't the case.
A year or so ago, I chopped the tops off two fingers in a multi tasking disaster. However a nice plastic surgeon mended them for me.
That wasn't my finest moment for sure. I'm getting back into doing a little more now.
Some tool box restorations and I enjoy fettling old axes.
Bear with me while I try to fathom out blogger on android.
