Well spotted. They are a Berg, a "JNU" (Nooitgedagt?), a Toledo and the last one is a Schlieper made in Germany, seems like good steel though.
I posted the Carter because I have never seen a C5 1/2...

They are beautiful and in wonderful condition. Forgive my ignorance but is the saw tool for setting or straightening? Either way very unusual. Good score.

Picked this up on Sunday at the meets. Never seen one before.Its a bit rough but will probably clean up well. Plus a handlful of chisels all for $30.

Here you go, as I said underwhelming but a bit of fun. Enjoy

Quite right Scrib, I have a full set of Titan firmers and they sharpen up lovely.
These are just odds and sods I've bought over years with the intention of rehandling but the shed needs a clear out...

Hi Isatree,
All the handles bar 2 are correct (or at least Titan made). The Largest chisel and the sec on from right seem to be user made. They had quite a selection over the years. On the one Im...

Thanks nick. I was pretty sure it would be 1:8 but that chisel was bang on 15/16th all the way down the blade. It's an original handle as well as you can see traces of the Rosette logo transfer. Who...

Its sad when the tool is more attractive than anything I would make with it.:;

God I hate this forum sometimes. I had just stopped in to enquire about Titan chisel sizes. I was on a mission. It was to be a brief visit as I have lots to do.
I have now spent 20mins looking at...

hi scrib,
No there are no ways(if by this you mean channels on either side of the base) The Lat adj lever is to rusty to see a name on it although I thought I saw a Y.
probably have to stay a...

yes i wondered that. but the lever cap that came with it is unmarked name wise, although that could be a marriage of course. The frog has "A and 4" stamped on it and the l/c has "B and 4" stamped on...

Hi,
Could anyone identify this frog . I think it's a Stanley no 4 but it has a flat base.
Cheers

Hi Clint,
I have a Gilpin Adze head you can have if you want it although its not a shipwrights Adze. Just needs a handle. Happy to donate it. Im in WA so tickets won't be much use although Im sure...

cheers Jim and Andrew.

Dawn no 7 QR Vice $10
Record no 4 Plane $3

Lever cap is cactus but the blade doesn't look like it got used at all.
I would've skipped out of the markets but the vice was to heavy.:wink:

is it the bevels because they pivot on an axis only but all the others have a main stem they slide up and down on?

Is it the 12 1/2 as it is the only one with a wooden base ?

Thanks mate . Epoxy noted. That was probably the most visually disapointing thing for me. The glue line.

Lots of helpful advice generally though. Thanks everyone. Ill shall update with evidence...

In the bad axe tut, I saw he left a tongue sticking out for a two sided glue face. I couldn't help but think that this was worse than a straight end to end cut because now, should the vertical glue...

neither am I lol........Good website!

Thanks Virgil,
I definitely shall keep an eye on it as it will be my only rip, althoughI'm not sure how much work its going to see.
As for color match,
I think the original handle was pear or...

Thought I'd give this a go, for no other reason than I have about 15 saws with chipped handles. Pretty happy with the result so might try some others. Glue line wasn't as tight as I might have liked....

I didn't know there was a video. I've seen plenty of photos but this is way better.
Thanks for posting TT:):)

Stanley L/cap. Chipped base. Hang hole in rear.

Hi Jeremy,
Im fairly certain it is a makers mark. There are some owners marks, but Frederick Tucker is listed in Goodman's. Problem is that all that is given is an address and 1 as the number of...

Hi all,
I need some help. (And not just generally ;) ). I bought an old wood plane at the markets on sunday with the makers name "Frederick Tucker".
I only have the 2nd revision of Goodman and...

Thanks scrib. They are beautiful. The photos on ebay didn't do them justice which is perhaps why I was lucky. Certainly ones to treasure. And nice to get a win on a punt on ebay for a change.

Thanks Jim. I have seen a set with ebony on ebay uk at the mo but not with rosewood. Would be nice to get some more. :doh: Another thing to collect. Will it never end.:;

Marples spoons. Had to buy these individually on ebay and missed out on one but really happy with these. I've shown one up against a marples from the sixties to show the difference in quality. Shame...

Scribs that chamfer plane is lovely, you lucky bugger!:2tsup:

I'm with Peter. I hard puzzle is more fun!:2tsup:

Is it that they all require a directional motion except to work except the level which is required to be stationery to work.:?

And its the only...

Is that a titan chisel I see before me.....only one made australia

The curved rasp. Nicholson Canada not Usa? All others are USA products

Is it the shave as it is the only one made completley of metal?

and cheap to post :U

Just kidding.
At the risk of being too obvious
Is it the level as it is the only measuring instrument?
:)

My first punt at this game


I'm guessing the plug cutter as all the others cut from their centres where as that cuts around it.(If that makes any sense):)

wish I had stayed up now.

Ern,
I have sent you a pm

Since this has been posted, I may as well as some questions about it since I'm no expert.:U
Is it a 44 or a 41. The fence doesn't have the swept back arms you see in the catalogues but I notice the...

Yes they did. I wasn't aware either until I picked one up.
Sold it on ebay a while back.

I Could be wrong but I think they maybe Varvil and sons York, rather than James Mason (the actor?) :). they would be late 19th century.

Picked up a couple of vices today. Go the pair for $50 so was quite happy.
Anybody got any idea on the age of the 52? The chisel is a berg ($10)
