Concluding the dump rescue of tools.

[Alan Reynolds]

I think I’m at the end.

Does anyone know the use of the last two items please. It’s a flexible drive but has a very small collet.

 

[Ton-up]

Looking at the tools you acquired, they look in very good condition. I find this sad, as the gentleman that had them obviously looked after them, even cherished them, and then someone comes along and throws them in a skip.........

Once again I'm lost for words , there is some really nice pieces there and quite a bit of dosh too !

It's a flexible attachment for a windy drill. Used for drilling holes where access is very limited. I've only ever seen them used in the aerospace industry but they may well have uses elsewhere.

Astounding that someone was just going to bun these. You'd earn a nice amount if you were to sell that little lot but so nice, and useful to have them.

 

[roblane65]

Yea but theres no point keeping for keepsake , I'd be turning what I'd never use to dosh / some one that would use them . There really is quite a bit of money

The trouble is the people doing the sorting out don't know what it's all worth its just junk to them, their probably desk jockeys...

 

[roblane65]

I don't how someone with even a modicum sense would not think it's worth money , even a car boot monkey would think they were going to benidorm twice this year !

top pic , bottom left plane .......... whats it for , Ive not seen one of those before but it looks interesting.

I used to know someone who was seriously into planes. On the second pic there's a compass plane. On the first pic, I think a couple of the metal-bodied planes may be worth significant money.
As mentioned already, I think the flexible drive may be fitted with Desoutter collets, for aircraft drills:

The second to last pic is an angle setting gauge for the Veritas sharpening jig.

Gobsmacked yet again that the future of these tools lay in the tip

Re the metal planes centre one looks to be made of bronze plus smaller one at bottom, may be worth quite a bit, names to look out for, Preston, Spiers, Norris, Mathesion. Early Stanley or Bailey also, later stanleys are worth having but primarily as users.
There is an interesting wooden Horned scraper plane at top right, probably made in Germany by Ulmia but maybe by another maker, I have a similar smoothing plane & it is a delight to use. Next to it is a Stanley router plane with the two knob handles, often known as an old womans tooth, Seen several for sale recently with value approx £70
The compass plane looks nice, i have one very similar, i would expect value around £180 for it possibly more depending on name & age.
The wooden moulding planes are sadly worth half of sod all, usually sell for about three quid each.

 

[roblane65]

There' s lots of good planes there bullnose x 3 block x 2 rebates x 2 + plough and more all look decent quality the small blue block plane on the left is around the 60-70 squid new alone they would all fetch good money and the compass plane too I sold a record one on evilbay a few years back for £75 !

Put the Diafold up for sale will take it of your hands for money.
There is some really nice stuff there people never cease to amaze me

It looks like a clone of a Stanley corner/edge chamfer plane.

I blame house prices and the vicissitudes of the housing market. All that lot there wouldn't add up to one months rental for a small flat or be worth jeopardising a sale. When buying/selling properties, people will throw away ridiculously valuable items (like these) just to make the headline number or to get the deal to happen at all.

You're working on London prices though.

I’m going to try and home them where they will be used for their original purpose by people who still have the skills to appreciate and use them. Hopefully some young folk

It’s a chamfer plane. You adjust the front bit to the size of the chamfer width you require and just plane away until it stops cutting. I found another ‘frog’ that fits the slidey bit on the front and allows you to do those stopped chamfers. You the finish the chamfer at an angle with a standard wood chisels.

Yes, it’s a shame about wooden moulding planes they are lovely to use though.you can stuff your wood through the router table but it doesn’t give the same satisfaction as doing it by hand.
