    What is with the corner metal 'dog holes' morticed in?
    I don't know, but they must be valuable! AU $2,200.00!

    Old sheetmetal work benches, I worked on the same type when I was at school and also when I did my coppersmithing apprenticeship, the metal dog holes are for sheet metal forming stakes

    Nope! In fairyland even if it is an Indian rope, which it's not (knot?) 'cos it's from Manilla .

    Paul,

    Classic 1950/60 school workbenches. We had very similar - a doghole in each corner so four kids could work at one bench, metal edges for long life. Both woodwork and metalwork benches were similar.

    BR,

    Fraser

    Everyone knows that red things go faster. Bargain I say.

    Oh and the gauges (while admittedly no longer any use for gauging things) can be used to "decoratively some obscure spaces". Me? I wish this guy would decorate his own obscure place with this crap instead of trying to flog it off to the unsuspecting Indie types who believe that anything old and pointless is "cool".
    Cheers,

    I think I now know where the phrase "Money for old rope" came from.

    I've *just* been looking at an article on ornamental turning, which I gather is a precise sport ... mentions a goniostat and another jig not wholly unlike that one.

    Thanks Toby.

    Looks more like a screwdriver than a chisel. Maybe they were used to open tins of perfume?
    We don't know how lucky we are......
