Thread: Monday night Show'n'Tell

Funny.. I thought I remembered something like that on one of the US forums.. can't find that either. The writer either said it was awful or wonderful.. I wated to know which.

I gave the bolt a squirt and will either take piccies or pop it in my pocket on the weekend. Hard to tell what it is under all the gunk atm.

Luban,
Good to see you at the tool sale.....
would you believe the screw is a standard 5/16 inch 18 tpi Whitworth thread, by chance the same as the famous back iron screw!
And the blade locking screw from the parts plane I had bought, the #143 plough, is a perfect fit in the angle lock, but that would be a bit of a waste...think I might be able to pass that to someone who is absolutely stuck. I will make a proper screw, I have the 1/4 inch 28 tpi tap and die set, it is another standard, but a little uncommon SAE thread.
Great to introduce you to Graeme P, but I might save that story for another post...perhaps a HTPAA tool sale report...


Regards,
Peter....
Who is much lighter in gross tool weight

Done

Good to see you too Peter, it was a pleasure to contribute to lessening your gross tool weight

hi gents,
well I hit the motherload of old tools today, literally a trailer full. See "started my hotrod" by billy on toys forum, where I've put a bit of a description up.
cheers, billy

For us down here it's like a shoe sale where all the women are shoving each other out of the way, except in this case it's blokes jostling into place to find that plane or chisel.

Would love to see a tool sale like that in Brisbane. This is one very jealous cat.

Although I did write a pamphlet up for a letter box drop asking people if to check their sheds etc for any old woodworking tools they'd like to sell. Dropped 4 streets in my area yesterday and got a call today from a gentleman who gave me these for free. Will start dropping the rest of my area in a couple of days.

Now that's a smart idea and better too than trying to fight with hordes of antique dealers trying to push you over in the mad scramble at a garage sale. Out of interest, what suburb did you leaflet drop?

Thanks. Dropped in Aspley, Brisbane. No other phone calls yet but I'll going for a walk to do a few more streets this afternoon as I have some free time on my hands.

I cleaned up that little 101 block plane this morning. Is anyone familar with this type of plane? I've looked up the Stanley 101 and it looks identical but the blade has HB on it with what look like a pair of wings?

Errr... forgot to upload the photos.

Sweet. I have a #101 and it is my favourite and most useful plane.

I will have a look at the blade tonight for you and see what is on it, if anything.

On my blade it says "Stanley Rule Level Co." and thats it.

Great idea Denim! glad to see it payed off.. a nice little 101 was worth the time put in

Denim,
A very useful little plane..nice one!
I think your 101 might be one of the many 101 Stanley clones...could be European.
The blade logo doesn't ring a bell with me.
The Stanley 101's I have don't have raised numerals, they have embossed numerals. (like engraving cut into the surface)
Mine are pretty early though, and I can't recall if the later ones had raised numerals..??? any out there?
Regards,
Peter

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have numbers at all. I will have a look tonight and let you know.

Couldn't make the Sale for many pointless and unreasonable reasons but was given this from a friend who didn't think he'd ever use it Attachment 111573

Attachment 111574
japaning is perfect on the body but lever cap has a scrape , and the thread on the wheel is a little stripped on the end, otherwise very happy
