Thread: Where to buy

Try Used Tools and STANLEY Parts and Planes

Thanks for that I had a look at their site anything up to $7 per screw.

Hi Gunado,
I'm not sure of where you are, but in Vic. we have a Hand Tool Preservation Assoc. Aust.
Now I'm thinking you may have something similar where you are, & could be a lot cheaper.
Google something like HTPAA.
That is the Vic. one, but there must be more there somewhere.

thanks for that I will track them down and see what I can find. I have just noticed that this thread has been moved, not sure where. Hope this gets back to you.

I've used this mob - their stuff is new.

Jim, I have had a look and sent an email asking a few questions. Thanks for the link.

Keep your eye open at garage sales and flee markets for damaged planes no one else wants and buy them for parts or if you know any manual arts teachers. they some times dump broken or damaged tools. A mate of mine while dumping stuff, saw some old very short chisels and broken plane and spokeshave bits at the dump and picked them up for me. They were all painted with colours to match them to a tool set like they do at schools.The trick is to get them before they become landfill, but I would imagine they would have to be dumped as part of some education department policy.
