Written By admin Sunday, November 25, 2018 Edit

My annual trip to Cornwall wouldn't hold upward consummate without a see to Bob's Tool Box inwards Liskeard. Not together with then much a box equally a row of 3 sheds crammed total of antique tools.

The Cornish flag is flight high together with they are really proud of their county. Some would similar independance from the residue of the UK, we'll encounter how Scotland gets on first!
I wonder what Bob's views on this are equally a Scot living inwards Cornwall, I must inquire him adjacent year.

He's had a major tidy upward since final twelvemonth together with the rows of planes looked really regimented.

Below is a till from the 1920's consummate amongst working till curl machinery together with drawer bell, straightaway out of 'Open All Hours' but without the bite!

The corners were dovetailed together with it was a really appealing box particularly at £55.

In the halt I stuck to what I know together with bought a Spiers smoother together with an unusually broad user made chariot bird inwards brass amongst a steel sole, I simply demand to notice it a blade.

The final matter I bought was a chunk of 3" thick rosewood, later a fight of exploratory planing it looked similar quondam increase Indian rosewood but I'll convey to inquire the other Bob at Timberline.

When I asked the cost I was told it is priced yesteryear weight. Isn't it funny how the heaviest woods are priced yesteryear weight together with non size! Anyway later a fight of haggling it was mine.

I was determined non to bore yous all amongst pictures of the Cornish coast (they are never equally proficient equally beingness at that spot anyway) but hither is i which captures the essence, rugged rocks amongst white sands. This is Trebarwith Strand virtually Tintagel together with it's reached downward a long unmarried runway road. The sat nav summed it upward showing a route going nowhere amongst opened upward body of body of water beyond, fourth dimension to relax!
