One I can’t find a makers mark due to pitting but the other is a Marples & Sons Sheffield.

What would be the use case for these in woodworking?

On the list to restore but many things higher on the list!

Took inspiration from this video

Made with some scrap teak (?) I rescued from a broken garden chair & thin piece of oak offcut laminated together.
The brass rods are 5mm x ~50mm (I cut a 100mm rod in half)

I am going to make another one about half the width as this is too long for shorter pieces of wood.
Also want to find a way to make the lead stick out less so it has less chance of leaning while marking.

Decided to change the design mid build and put round overs on the square potty stool im making forgetting to then reduce the width of the legs.

Luckily I noticed while dry fitting so it’s not a big deal but thought I’d mention it for anyone else who may or may not add round overs to something

I have just used the 10mm bit from the set of 16 I bought and it’s phenomenal.

I used it in my bench top drill press and got no tear out!!
The difference compared to my brad point bits is very noticeable and the fact it can drill overlapping holes with ease was impressive!

Definitely not a cheap purchase and I probably shouldn’t have splurged on them but wow I’m so happy!

I used it to make a small mallet with a piece of oak scrap & 10mm oak dowel.

It would have made a massive difference on a few of my previous builds where visible dowel pins had a bit of tear out that I could not sand or plane out.

If you all disagree that a good book is not a tool then I’ll delete the post/ Mods please delete!

I have been trying to follow some online information and videos on sharpening my saws and gotten average to good enough results however I saw this book from Lost Art Press by Matt Cianci and held off buying due to the price but finally pulled the trigger as I keep getting distracted on my phone when watching videos / looking for information!

I must say that on first flick through this book looks incredible with vast amounts of information and beautifully crafted!

Love the little Rake guide and will definitely have to make some of these!

Found this old wooden plane for £3 and it has a small crack on the nose. Stamped with 2 1/4 on one end & MUNN on the back which I presume was a previous owner.

Before I dissemble and clean it I would love to get everyone’s opinions on best ways to do it or any reading material people can link.

I will be watching some YouTube on these as well so any video recommendations would be appreciated

I have this chest I was using for scrap wood however I am going to convert into a tool chest.
I have roughly laid out my planes but want some pointers / suggestions on how to do it.

I have been watching lots of ATC & Dutch tool chest videos to see how other ones are done.
I am think of adding sliding tills towards the top for chisels/ accessories.
Adding a section to add a few saws.
I would also like to add 1 brace & 1 egg beater drill but these are not ‘musts’.

It’s a heavy stationary chest with a no 5 vice fixed on it and I use it with a bench hook for planing as well.

I know it’s not financially sensible to repair a £2.50 toy but I can see the ‘glue’ joint and was curious what type of fixing was used to secure this stretch toy

Initially thought it was a water valve t handled tool but the end wasn’t quite right

My record no.7
I’ve been slowly restoring it because it felt like it was going to be a monumental task to flatten this heavily pitted sole.
I decided to get try get the blade dialled in and have a go and got great results with the sole still looking like this.
I have been using 120grit sandpaper on a long mdf piece.

Still needs a bit of work to clean the mouth up and a couple other cosmetic things but considering it was a solid block of rust when I originally started on it I’m very happy with how it’s working.

I have watched a bunch of videos on these but most are either flat soled or not this type of blade you adjust with a pin hammer.

Would love some suggestions on what videos or articles people would recommend for curved sole spokeshave advice.

Watched some woodbywright, Paul sellers & some others but obviously there are too many to watch and list so looking for ones people have resonated with enough to recommend

I appreciate any responses

I’ve been debating getting the full sized one which was the only one I knew about for months for my Stanley 5 & 1/2 but didn’t really think it would make a difference. Then saw they did a mini one for Stanley/Record and impulsively bought it while looking at tools in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep.

It arrived today and I fitted it and am in love.
The micro adjustments I can now get are crazy.

To preface this I have Chronic nerve pain through my body and often struggle with finer movements so not everybody may get the same level of improvement I did from this but either way I thought I had to make a post about this and will be buying a full sized one soon!

I have taken the screw and rods out of the remaining part of the vice and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations or plans / videos on how to make a wooden vice with the metal screw & or rods.

Also any other places to ask this question would be appreciated.

For those curious, I over estimated the strength of this vice while calibrating my torque wrench 🤷‍♂️
