New (to me) woodworking tools

[Blazer3664]

I know we have a few woodworkers here.
I just ran across some planes for half of new price, from an estate sale.
Looking at the blades they have never been honed, just factory edges.
Since I bought them I went ahead and picked up a set of Sweetheart chisels as well. I would have liked to have the matching Lie Nielsen version, but these work, for the price.

Preview, with my supervisor telling me that one is his....


and fully exposed.........

These are my first Lie-Nielsen planes, but I do have a pair of Veritas already.
So my stable now consists of....
#7 jointer
bevel up jack (Veritas - not shown)
#4 smoother
Bevel up smoother (Veritas - not shown)
2) 60 1/2 block planes - the Lie-Nielsen shown, and a Stanley(not shown)
Large shoulder plane
Curved bottom spokeshave

Not a bad start, now I just need ....(counting fingers........then toes......) well, a few more.
They are like FSJs, you never have enough of them.

Great find.

What do you like to build? I've done a bit of furniture building, but I enjoy building guitars, mostly electric, more.

Oh, real tools!

Nice score

What do you like to build?

I am working on teaching myself to build furniture. Nothing too fancy, yet, a couple book cases, an end table, and a computer desk so far.

I enjoy the simplicity of working with hand tools. No jigs, or fancy (complicated) set-up, no throwing sawdust everywhere, and quiet enough I can work whenever I want without bothering anyone.

I do have a good table saw, and a router table, but only use them when I have to.

Nice find! Woodworking is one of those arts that soothes the beast. I was fortunate to be raised by a Master Craftsman and as a result of that exposure I too love the feeling that taking a piece of raw stock and turning it into a useful or beautiful item brings.

Nice score! I have some wooden planes mom bought me years ago, she didn't realize the wood working genes skipped me. My grandpa not only built their house he did the cabinets that are still be used today. I can lay out a square cut and and still cut some odd ball angle unless I use a fence and even then it is iffy. It is so bad one framing crew I used to work with (I'm an electrician) would go into panic mode any time they saw me looking through scrap to make braces for ceiling fans or blocking to move a box over, one of them would stop what he was doing and come over and ask what I needed and where, then put it in for me! The last few jobs I worked with them they had added braces in the center of each room just in case it had a ceiling fan in it

Nice! I will be interested to see what you create with them.

I, too do woodworking, when I have the money for the wood to work with, that is. Bookcases I do without glue or dadoing. In the past few years, I've repurposed and rebuilt my bookcases several times over do to moving, getting married, little things like that. I think I'll be looking at projects for good long time. I even scored a six-inch jointer plane (electric) from a neighbor.

Now to get rid of a couple of boxes of two-hp upright Briggs and Stratton engines...
