Car Boot Candy

Bought this little block plane today made in the USA..
No maker as such a few numbers on it..
Gave it a little file over the edges to knock off some rough stuff.. And a little clean..
Another piece of car boot candy...;b

Hammers and Oldtimers

I bought this nice shiny fuller hammer at the car boot and another old head along with a shaft..
The shiny one was a bargain at 5 pounds.. The old head and shaft were a pound..
I'll fit these together soon..
And the old poster of some bygone  days when man armed with great skill and minimal tools felled these giant trees...;b

Sun going down... ;b

Christmas Table...

Well I started this table for my Mother's Christmas...
And here it is now finished.. 
Sanded and waxed several times...
I think she'll love it..;b

Optimism

I started a table for my mother I 'm hoping I can get it finished before Christmas!!
I'm sure it'll happen, I say with optimism ...
 There's was chunky redwood hiding under a tarp, this is what I'm using..
I cut off the sections , then set about them with my old wooden coffin plane..
 D Malloch and Sons Perth is the maker, a good Scottish plane...
This is an old family plane given to me earlier in the year.. Some posts about it if you care to trawl through... Anyhoo this little plane is just the tool to scrub off the shavings and clean up these slabs..... I also started the housings for the legs, using my old no 71 plane...
A good work out for the arms over the past couple of days...
Take a look and see... ;b
