Tools i bought today at a tool auction.

I picked up a few nice tools today. I didnt have a whole lot of money to spend but enough to have a little fun and get a few things ive been wanting.

from the picture:

at botttom: a planemakers float, edge and side combo in one tool

various mortice chisels (4 Ward, 5 I & H Sorby, 1 marples, 1 W G (with a crown) and a few others.

two turnscrews

a lock mortice chisel 7/16"

at top:

a stanley 10 1/2

a preston style bull/chisel plane

a Preston bullnose plane


my prized posession out of this is the float. (the only float at the auction out of 1086 lots)

its 13 1/8" long and set at 3 degrees!


hope y'all enjoy these pictures

cheers from england!

And of course "you suck"

that float is pretty cool but that 10 1/2 wins the prize for me.
take care

Nice score, you suck and it looks like you are set to stick some pigs.

Wish I was there..

When you say the set of the float is 3*, is that like saying a saw's rake is 3*? And, you suck!
