A novel way to store and transport the Falcon fleet
Hi all,
here is another example of my way of solving a storage problem,
this time I had to find a home for my fleet of Falcon bench planes
and other Pope tools.

That looks great. The possibilities for the suitcase transportation seem endless...handsaws, planes, chisels, AK-47s, suitcase nukes etc. etc..
What I would really like to get hold of, however, is your supplier of suitcases.

Just like the movies. Man in dark suit places case on hotel room bed, opens it and begins to assemble the long range sniper No7 jointer plane.

I've got dozens of old cases of various shapes and sizes that I gathered up from garage sales,
op shops and clearing sales, I found that they make ideal storage units (with handles) for my tool collection.
I'll try to get a few more examples photographed to show their versatility, (but none of them
contain lethal weapons).

Pope spanners
Hi Andrew,
sorry for the delay in answering your questions about
the spanners, they were put away but now have access
to another set.
From the information I have they were made for only
a short 10 year or so period after WW2 to supply the local
markets demand for tools, while there were no tools being
imported.
They were only for light work, being made from pressed metal,
there were 5 in the set held together with metal a clip.
They were A-F, sizes from 1/4" to 1"
Hope that helps.
Graham.
