Well, until the Powers That Be approve the blogs, here is a couple more photos, just to keep things moving along....a "small" chisel, next to a Liberty Bell....I guess i can be a real cut-up here, right?  Both are stanleys, not sure of which year they came out.a "V" groover, and a 1/2" "cove" plane.    Home cooking at it's best?

Just a tease, for now......

Reply part #2: this was the first plane I owned, Stanley #110.    My go to plane for small jobs.A couple persuaders, and my other backsaw.  A newer one was shown working on molding for a Plank Table.    No, I did NOT turn the malletmore saws, these are a couple of stanleys, one is for a deep cut. some of the layout tools, my marking gauge was elsewhere at the time.    The red guy is a Stanley "Handyman", and the Scratch awl is also a Stanley.   Combo is a Swanson.     I like ones that I can READ the numbers on.  Might need a third "reply" for the rest.

Ok, third  "reply":   This is a photo of some of the go-to tools,  small chisel is my mortiser.   Small hammer for small nails, with nail set.  Spokeshave ( Stanley?)  for smoothing things out.  Larger chisel for glue clean up, and a couple planes.  Speaking of chisels...this one is going to need some clean up work done.   You are looking at the backside of a large framerHow large?    That plane is 18" long.     Chisel is made by a company called Worth.    I use it as a "slick".   And last, a Hammer.    Best nail driver I've ever had.  There was second one of these around, until it's face got a chip broke off, then it was "Retired".    Still to be brought in and cleaned up?     A couple large cross-cut saws,  Townsman I think is the name on them.    I am planning on a trip to harbor Freight in a few weeks, seems they have a #33 handplane that is something really fine.    And, for only $10!    Well, just a look into my dusty, old Tool Box....

Neanderthal Stew!   The tray it sits on is some Black Cherry/White Oak reclaimed wood.     A nice tray to cover all the burners when the stove is NOT being used.    These were just the tools in a tool box I had packed up.     I brought this stash in to the house, rather than have them sit in the cold Pole barn for the next few months.    Just some old toys.....

I like the idea of the stove tray. We have one of those ceramic tops and I've often thought how something like this would protect it.
