A Record No. 735 plane.

For those who do not know, what this specialist plane is for.

I found some old square taper drill bits. I’m not certain what to do with them but I might try bending a radius on them and make a small fruit bowl.

Pffff that’d mean taking up woodwork.

Got a few chav upgrade parts (M-Sport gloss black grille and badges) in the post for the E60 bargain and sourced. new plastic pin and 2 x bushes for the clutch pedal to cure the freeplay and the low pedal.

You can see the wear in the bushes, the pin was ok but the total cost from Sytner BMW was just £8.60!! No brainer.

serious question.
auger bits.

what possible need would neccesitate such a large amount of 12-18in long, 1/2" 3/4" and upwards holes in (apparently) every old toolbox?

the amount of large augers i see suggests that every joiner must have used a range of sizes.
but, apart from draw bored tenons in woodframed houses, ive never seen a use?

why would a cabinet maker have them? for instance?

They'd use them to things like coring out doors to take 5 level mortice locks etc.

That was one grinder I looked at. Also wanted one with the same ,”compact” design. Eventually, having been told by more than one local supplier,that they don’t exist,I settled on the one made by Fein. More powerful at 1700w and variable speed.I want to make a plate bevelling head for it....

I bought a 5" variable speed Metabo grinder/polisher & it has a very powerful motor too. It's a joy to use as the clever handles absorb any vibrations & with a decent grinding disc it really eats metal! The electronic governer means it runs at the set speed no matter how hard it's working.

They're the sort of things @The_Yellow_Ardvark has an affinity with.

A useful addition to the tool drawers.
My old brown and Sharpe isn't the easiest to use. This will be handy.
Thanks for the heads up @Maker

Awesome. Not something I use often but so glad I've got it when I do.

I do.
How did you know?

I have restored a fair few for MIS, the older humans like to use tools they grew up with.

Easy to sharpen, nice slow cutting action. Good for older people.

You have no secrets.
