    I suspect a typo, but listening to the comments even $299 would be too much.

    MUCH too much! For that money you can buy a brand new, cast-iron bodied lathe that you could actually make something on.....

    Yes, I was wondering how many brand new Ryobi wood lathes you could buy for that money (but the Bunnies site made finding out, too hard).

    Default Very Good Condition.

    Here's the sort of advert than puzzles me:

    1586135979.jpg

    Screen Shot 2021-10-05 at 1.16.05 PM.png

    "The plane is all in very good condition - bar the piece off one side..." Surely it's in very good condition OR has a piece off one side - but both is an oxymoron - surely?

    Default Very Good Condition - pt2.

    In a similar vein, this Wadkin buzzer was on Gumtree a year or so ago.

    Ebay Droppings Thread.-rc1-jpg

    It was promoted as having been well maintained, and as being in really good condition...

    ...apart from having the end of the infeed table broken clean off .

    Ebay Droppings Thread.-rc2-jpg

    I think having the end of the table broken off trumps all the great maintenance...

    Cheers, Vann.

    Not sure that you are right, Matt. Read IanW's post - there is not much metal in the lathe.

    Holy guacamole Batman - that thing is a lethal weapon! Lethal to operator, that is.

    The site ought to be plonking some sort of disclaimer on a thing like that, or better still, just deleting the advert. After all, you can't legally sell a Hagan saw, nor old cots made before the current standards were introduced. I reckon a Hagan saw is less dangerous than that buzzer, it makes me cringe just thinking about feeding a board over such a gap!

    There must have been millions of Stanley #4 planes produced between 1869 and when the UK and Australian branches of Stanley stopped making them around the turn of the 21st century.
    You should not begrudge the turning a few hundred of those millions into a fancy light -- though the light would want to be well insulated and earthed

    Perhaps a waste of a potentially good plane, but certainly fugly! To my jaundiced eye, anyway, I 'spose there is plenty who'll love it....

    Collectively, Forum Members have an absolutely incredible tool collection, and no one has anything even remotely like this Stanley No 4 Plane Light.

    It is truly unique.

    And undoubtedly will stay that way.

    Default Taking liberties here…

    A bit of copyright theft here; this chap is trying to sell a printed out copy of Patrick Leach’s Blood And Gore website; even has the cheek to declare it was “legally photocopied”

    Hmm, he took it down just before midnight. When I followed the link, this message appears on it: "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing" I guess breaching copyright is a bit of an error......

    If you look at his ‘other items’ and ‘completed sales’ this dude was a serious collector who is unloading.
    Looking at his other reference material for sale he probably just got carried away.
    He possibly lurks on here and took the hint.
