(wife sobs in the background)<br /><br />Joel - I've also been buying carving tools at car boots for the last ten years and I've managed to get a fair collection of 50 or so gouges, chisels and v tools. The weekend before last I brought 10 really nice ones for a pound each off an old carpenter. Once I've restored them all I'll do a post and show them off trouble is these are so fine they can't be ground on the grinder so I'll have to file them into shape!Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081662385488791554.post-74827052427642508502011-10-09T12:58:50.867-07:002011-10-09T12:58:50.867-07:00Buy them up before anyone else and enjoy them .Buy them up before anyone else and enjoy them .Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307538108627287225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081662385488791554.post-41290213083235232932011-10-09T11:59:06.554-07:002011-10-09T11:59:06.554-07:00Oh, dear...You're Dooooomed.....:-( Couldn'...Oh, dear...You're Dooooomed.....:-( Couldn't have put it better than Gorges though. Me?@ I like to buy carving tools, there aren't that many around in car boot sales though, which is probably just as well!There is nothing quite as good as the sound of a nicely sharpened plane gliding on wood is there?Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844967794207697583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081662385488791554.post-54289578803016200672011-10-09T10:52:18.041-07:002011-10-09T10:52:18.041-07:00I love the comment Gorges!

How good will they look on the workshop wall and when compared to the cost of a router cutter they're not too badly priced! I knew it would happen one day! Right I'm off to ebay to buy a book on wooden planes....Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081662385488791554.post-89847575803252832732011-10-09T10:43:26.019-07:002011-10-09T10:43:26.019-07:00Oh no! You've taken your first hit! You're...Oh no! You've taken your first hit! You're now a wooden plane junkie and you don't even know it yet. It always starts out innocently enough, usually because the first one is so reasonably priced, but others WILL follow. Then you'll begin craving things like sash planes, adjustable filisters with ebony and holly accents and other hardcore items. Your former life is over; from now on, your stash of lucre will shrink and your pile of planes will grow. On your tombstone they engrave, "He was a normal guy until he got hooked." ;-)Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
