Thread: Vaughan handplanes?

According to HAND TOOL PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA , it seems he was based in New South Wales and only made block planes.




Which looks remarkably similar to this offering by S & O Handee

Cruzi, thank You very much.

The actual reason why I ask about Vaughan tools concerns about one of my late relative, who was a merchant seaman before WW2.

He was not always sailing, but sometimes spent longer periods ashore in different countries. During one of these periods, he would have been worked for awhile in a tool manufacturing company called "Vaughan".

Later on, and to this day, I have thought that he ment Vaughan & Bushnell Mfg. Co. in USA, but now when I saw that Australian Vaughan plane, I just started to wonder whether he might have been thereabouts instead.

It is well known that he spent more than half of his time abroad working in different countries. He passed away early 80's, I'd recall he was 92 years old. Sometimes, I would remember those goofy seaman stories he told me (I was quite young kid at that time).

kippis,
