Edit
I bought this 1925 Melhuish difficult backed tool catalogue of late in addition to it's actually interesting. It sits inwards an era that was nevertheless resisting the inevitable advancement of mechanisation.
168 pages of every sort of woodworking tool, a wonderful reference of times gone by.
Although non named there's a total page of Norris planes. Some of the currently really desirable planes were no to a greater extent than expensive than the others they were simply less pop in addition to presumably less useful. Perverse how they are directly much to a greater extent than valuable.
Here's an intriguing but really comfortable looking shooting board plane, although that should clearly hold upward a shuteing bird (my English linguistic communication principal would non convey approved!)
Another shuteing bird amongst board in addition to at £3.65 a bargain! You'd instruct 200 times that for a practiced 1 now!
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 practiced selection of vice hardware including large wooden bench screws, where convey all the screw boxes gone?
Whilst at that spot was around electrical mechanism on offer, well-nigh was manus cranked, amazing!
Whilst I wouldn't fancy manus cranking my tabular array saw or ring saw, this scroll saw is a dissimilar matter. I tin sack simply imagine the experience in addition to command you lot would convey making frail cuts.
There were enough of tool boxes in addition to wall cabinets which was a lilliputian surprising, I would convey expected well-nigh craftsmen to convey made their own.
Likewise at that spot were a broad selection of benches (I don't know why the pic turned out this way!)
And in conclusion a pair of gentlemen's workbenches, which when closed upward would convey looked similar a sideboard. They are non really practical but thence they wouldn't convey seen much use. I convey tried to purchase 1 of these on a yoke of occasions over the years but been outbid. I would similar to ain 1 in addition to I would also similar to brand one, 1 day!
