Thread: Cool New Hand Tool Game - Play Here

Is it the knob on the top shelf without a plane, or perhaps the #112 without a blade?

Peter

Well done Peter every plane in there has a blade except the 112.

Great....ahhh..now let me think...lucky I have a few days to think of something.
I'll have a picture in a few days or earlier.

Peter

Well done Peter.
I must have looked at that 112 a dozen times and never saw the missing blade.......
...........Ummmm that sounds just a tad silly, but you know what I mean.
OK I'm ready for another one.
Thanks Luban for yours and I am looking forward to Peter's

Bottom shelf, middle, background.
And look - can you see the no blade -
and to think that I once taught English

Ah. At first I though 'twas a scraper plane, but on not seeing a blade I assumed it was just some sort of low-angle plane... After all, some planes have so many bits dangling off 'em that I've no idea whether there's s'posed to be a blade in the middle of it all or not!

(Says me, showing just how plane ignorant I am! )

Here it is...which one is the odd one out?
I left the image big so the detectives amongst us can get a close look.
Good luck!
Peter

Not really knowing what the long brass thingy is ,

I'm guessing that the wrench is the only non-woodworking tool ?



Edit : nice tight mouth on that bottom left plane

what is that long brass thing?.. it has me stumped.

lovely planes btw

Very nice picture Peter, and what a line up of lovely heirlooms.

I am thinking out loud here so I am going to make some mistakes, but here goes:
Planes from top left look to me like

• No 3 sized Sargent, Leonard Bailey (Victor ?) number 7 size

• Unknown woodie, Chaplin's patent. Union X? series, Unknown, Preston number 5, Millers Falls 714,
• Brass bar thingie,
• Butt Mortise plane
• Angle gauge, Wrench
• Adjustable depth Tenon(?) saw - Boston, Douglass - something like that

Now I am probably wide of the mark, but I am going to nominate the Preston as the odd one out - as the only English tool that I know of in this line-up.
I am guessing that the others are all American.

Fingers crossed

How embarrassing,
getting the right answer through erroneous reasoning.
I can't accept the win.
Peter, if you don't mind doing another, that would be terrific.
BTW why is the Preston the oddie then?
Many thanks
SG

The brass thing is telescoping brass purlin prop marker ( Aust ) for a roofing carpenter, made by S.G.Peters (Peterson) VIC.
One bloke in the roof places it in where the prop will go then passes it down to the bloke on the ground who uses it to mark the timber for cutting. It records the angles at the ends and the length.
Pretty obscure tool, and providing there are no oldtime roofers in the group, a great whatsit! I found it in a junk shop, and a friend saw it and said "purlin prop marker"

Peter
