Although it looks a little scruffy in the picture..No 1 is unused also!

Nice lineup Peter.
I think maybe number 4 as it is the only one with a moulded handgrip behind the blade.
PS - the woodies arrived today Peter - many thanks.
I really like the Preston.
Cheers

Maybe number 6 is the only one with a laminated sole (rosewood/lignum etc).

SG,
The Preston is a beauty, it won't take much to have it singing...happy they all arrived safely.

....The little one at the end has the same feature.

Peter

2, 3 and 6 are 2 piece bodies...
The other two are blond wood, hornbeam I think is what the Europeans usually used as the sole wood.

That little number 6 looks tiny.
I can imagine it being used one handed.
I would guess that it would be the only one with a front horn that can't be gripped with the left hand.

ok.. If Tom's not going to say it.. I will.

Is Number 6 a bottle opener?

(Chuckling to himself).........................
I never thought of that.
Early onset alzheimer's for me perhaps............
Crikey I hope you're wrong

SG,
That one is probably best used one handed...so if you are one of the sinister side, you would be using it left handed...
Not what I was looking for.

Luban....Who's grandfather asked him to pass the Bumplop...
My dad can open a beer bottle with whatever was within arms length, a skill he has dutifully passed down to his 4 sons. His usual tool was the tobacco tin, but almost anything could be used....side cutters, screwdriver, hammer...BBQ tongs....FJ door latch...
Its all a matter of leverage, and with a lever long enough you could lift the world.
One thing I never saw him use was a hand plane...and that one certainly would fail in that enterprise.

close..but no cigar...

Peter

Step right up Tom, you are tonight's winner

It certainly is a plane of sorts, a spoke pointer no less

Peter

Crikey.
I have heard of spoke pointers but the only pix I've seen are all metal bits for a brace.
I'd like to see some more pictures of yours Peter.
Thanks for listing it here.
