Just posted photos of my Dad's tools

[Sharp Blade]

Hi all, I just posted photos in my new galley. Just a few of the planes he gave me. Any help on ID'ing the wooden planes would be grately appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like you've got those wooden planes all boxed up to ship to me. Let me send you my address. :rolf:

Seriously, what a great legacy your Dad has left you. Enjoy their use.

Your father left you with some nice tools. I am not one to identify what they are, all I know is that a lot of the woodie are moulding planes used to cut specific profiles. Hope you don't mind that I added pictures to your post...for the lazy ones.

Looks like a coffin smoother on top of the box, another smooth plane and maybe a jack (?) size plane down in the box. The rest look like molding planes - varying profiles I'll bet. I'd really like to have a shoulder plane like that, and the No 6 is SW era or earlier.

Even if you didn't have any hand tools before, you have a really fantastic collection now! A very nice collection of usable tools there!!!

Wow Anna, what a great collection of tools you inherited. They all look to be in good condition and with a little tuning I bet you will find them very enjoyable to use.

Is that a hole at the end of that #6 plane?

Please take a look at the Patrick's B&G at
http://supertool.com for more details about them.

The Stanly #9x (92, 93?) should be very handy.

Sure all of them should be special to you. Congrats.

Yea, looks like a hangy hole. Does nothing to affect the function of the plane, but it REALLY kills the resale value... :-?

Nice tools.
But said just a few of them, so there must be a lot more WOW

 

[Sharp Blade]

Yeah, there are some wild looking ones. I will need to clean them up a bit. I may do that tomorrow, while my chiseled finger heals.

NOT! I will enjoy their use.

Dave, not a problem. Being new here, I wasn't sure about how much bandwidth I could use in each post.

Yup, you're right. They are molding planes. Ogee and a few others, I think. I'll photograph each one for show and tell. I do think think the No 6 is an SW, I'll let you know tomorrow. I know at least one of the wooden planes is a cove contour.

Yeah, I think I will enjoy learning to use them correctly.

It's a Stanley #92. There is a hole in the no 5 and the No 6. I once asked my Dad about the holes, figuring they really were for hanging (he never hung them) and he told me he didn't know why they were there. he had bought them that way...and he bought them NEW. (Dad was using some of these planes when he was about 14, in 1934.)

As far as I know if you can put it into your picture album then you can post it all you want. Steve may have a different thought on this but I have never had any problems/complaints about posting my multi-pic threads. So post what ever you feel worthy, the worst thing that can happen is it might be denied.
I would love to see the rest of your collection when you get them cleaned up.

[Sharp Blade]

Since I have to take it easy (I had an epidural procedure done in my lower back this afternoon) I am going to clean these up and get pics of them for you all to envy, er...I mean enjoy! Yeah, that's what I meant!

 

[JohnsonMBrandon]

Thats an awesome collection of planes. They should look great once cleaned up a bit. Have fun.

 

[windknot]

They are really nice. Consider yourself lucky to have such a gift.

 

[cloudancer]

Very nice stealth gloat...

Maybe we need a gloat section of the board so we have fair warning? :eusa_thin

 

[Splinter]

Wow!. Beautiful tools. I know you must be very proud to have such a collection from your Dad. I bet when you use the tools many fond memories of your Dad just flood your mind. It's great that you are keeping/using them and not doing as so many people do....just sell them off.
