Did I do good? (Part 3) [Image heavy]
Lots of wooden planes, and many of them interesting. What they are for I can't guess, but would like to know.
Firstly, I think this is a jack plane. It has Henry Boker on the iron
Next this boat shaped plane. It has Mathieson Ward on the iron, and also on the chip breaker
Then there is this one, which I think is a rebate plane, which has Mathieson Glasgow imprinted into the timber
The next one is quite strange, and I thought it home made, but the seller said its not. It has a very thin blade which I have tried to show in the second picture. I couldn't find a makers mark on this one.
Showing the thinness of the blade
Ok, that's it for the planes, now onto the chisels and some miscellanea.

Hi Wongdai
The first one is a "German Jack" plane, a typical continental roughing plane/general purpose plane.
The boat-shaped plane is actually a coffin smoother, named after its shape, not its purpose.
The next one is a grooving plane - think tongue and groove on the edge of a board. This one cuts the groove.
THe last one does look homemade.
Cheers,
eddie
