    Default This was a lucky find

    I recently won a couple of auctions for these combination plane irons there was all four boxes as seperate listings but I was happy just to be able to win two of the auctions. Front set has just come out of a soak in metal rescue and about to get a dose of lanocote and the back set is going into the metal rescue once I finish this post. I will be using them on my stanley 45 once they are ready to go

    Hah, you think, now they're rust free, you've finished the job. Now you've got to sharpen the damn things...

    And, if I remember correctly, multi-plane irons are sharpened at 35 degrees.

    Yup I know I have got to sharpen them lol but I have decided that instead of sharpening them all in one hit I will sharpen them as I go to use them. Have you seen that no 2 listed on trade me? I won't be getting that I haven't got the $300 to bid on it lol.

    Tool acquisition disorder is hard to resist! The only thing i hear is more addictive is making your own tools, but i haven't gone down that path yet...

    You are right about tool acquisition syndrome it is a sod but I also suffer from guitar acquisition syndrome as well which I have to keep at bay at all times especially when it comes to buying vintage vacuum tubes for my guitar amps boy can they get pricey, I will fess up on the home made tools department I have a mallet that I made from a block of wood which had a hell of a knot in it that I docked out of a length of timber with the sliding mitre saw and that works very well I use it all the time with my chisels and then there was my epic fail at making a bull nose chisel plane it is now on the stuff up pile waiting for its trip to the fireplace.
