Thread: Turner Planes

Well as a first timer I thought the Turner post was worthy of the occasion. After recently inheriting a bunch of tools I started filling gaps and extending out in places. Turner planes certainly caught my attention in amongst the stanley herd. A couple of nice Turner 4s are getting facelifts at the moment. After reading some of the above posts though I dashed out to the shed, rummaged around and found 4 Turner screwdrivers from 6 inches to huge like the big bertha above. The favourite was the clear blue handled ratchet mechanism screwdriver (I think I see a faint T 152 on the handle) that was my grandfathers and I can remember from his shed in Sydney in the early 70s. The other nice realisation was the standard screwdriver that was Dad's automatic pickup when one was needed was also a Turner. It was used for everything, is still in great condition and regular use, additionally there is the pleasure I get from restoring and continuing to use Dad's tools. So there you go. A collection I didn't even know I had. Thanks for tempting me out of the shadows with all this Turner talk...

Cheers
