Thread: Holding open a gate

propping open a gate arrgh neanderthals.

good find though

You lucky bugger

Very nice - and well done to get it before it was destroyed by exposure to the elements. I hope that was £20 worth of plants you gave her

Cheers, Vann.

A 1950's Norris A1 141/2" plane with beech infill, mahogany handle. This is after the rust was removed but before I tune it up a bit. Sole is still flat - checked against veritas steel straight edge. This will be a good user. This is one of the welded ones not d/t. I finally found a plane that compared to the wife finding a $700 vinyl 12" for $30.

i'll always smile at stories like this because i have a saying that no matter what your are looking for ''there is one in the most unlikely place and the owner hasn't a clue to it purpose or value'', a great find .

Must've been a pretty flash gate........

What a great find, and you found it now, in Summer, not in 6 months time which would have been a tragic story.

That's a lesson to us all. Always close the gate behind you.
Another one saved.
Cheers,
Jim

Nah - it was a plane old gate.

probably was not even a wooden gate that she had just finished planning down because it was sticking or anything, I like the handle on it. I found a little block plane missing the handle the other day for 5$. Will have to make up something similar.

What shall we do Philip? lets look for treasure Terrance!
That kind of luck has so far not come my way.
Enjoy the find

Well here is another plane given to me in a box of old wooden planes. H Slater, Meredith St, Clerkenwell, London - 1 1/4" infill shoulder plane. The blade I had to replace and I also had to redo the infill under the blade but luckily I had some Delbergia nigra. This factory was I think only open between 1873 to 1879.
