Good to see it got there safely. I was worried...

Nice drill. So, what is that lump of metal in the top right of the photo of the drill?? Looks like it has a name plate on it... maybe something like Blohm... can't quite see it!

Cheers

I'll have a look at it today and ask the machinists there if it is an issue and if so will leave a note.

The unknown red handle is quite similar to a Toledo I have a couple, one of which i sharpened up and is a very handy saw. Haven't got to the other one yet (photo below)... it is in the growing...

Interesting. Why on earth did he have them in his collection? I'll pull them out of the packet and take a better photo. They appear to be unused. Maybe they were on the Oneday List. I think i might...

Thanks! It was all dad's so I did grow up with it all but some later shed additions slipped past me and I never got the chance to get a deomnstration. Yes, the Boxford ME10 was delivered new in, i...

Yep. I think ineed to stop buying future projects. At this rate I am set up till i am 140! Project for today is to survive my daughter's 6th birthday. I'd give anything for half an hour in the...

it's still sitting in the shed waiting for me to give it a bit of TLC!

Thanks Ray (and Paul and SG)

I'll clean it up, weigh and compare against the Disstons etc and post some photos at some stage soon hopefully. I note that the blade is tapered.

Interesting. Never seen brass on a saw handle. Got a photo?

Picked up this saw last weekend when in Nowra. Handle is a bit crappy, lost a horn but a lovely full and straight 7pt blade. Almost 26 inches long.

Looks like it might have been sharpened...

I have my plane blades and cap irons but the spokeshave blade wasn't included... be good if i could go on the list for spokeshave leftovers.

Pagie - I work at the ANU so am happy to distribute here and to the wider locals if necessary.

Hi Pagie

If there are a few deliveries to ACT or Queenbeyan I'd be happy to distribute them if you can get them all to me?

Only if it makes it easier for you... wouldn't want to complicate...

Hopefully not too different but there is a more recent s/s at #415.

I haven't found anything newer than that yet.

Good luck Peter.

OK here are a couple of photos. Toledo 1/4, mystery 1/8 and Berg 1/8. All have decorated ferrules. The ferrules fit the base of the blade very neatly except for the mystery which adds to the...

Thanks Ian

Good point. Sometimes the most obvious answers are the most elusive. It was the brass that confused me. I'd always thought the handle was Titan-ish so it may well be Titan plus hose...

The veritas edge trimmer because it is the only right hander? The left handed edge trimmer would look more at home with this bunch perhaps??

This German site has a fair bit of info. The branding page for English made chisels is pasted below. As Michael says above it sounds like a bad stamping of a shamrock.
