G'day fellas.
Hello all,
My name is Mick. I've been looking around for a few days and you have a great spot here. I'm looking forward to asking the odd question.
I found this site while looking on google for information on Turner planes. I stopped at a skip recently when I spotted a couple of old oak dining chairs poking out. In the same skip was a box with some old woodworking tools. I went and knocked on the door and a young woman said I could have anything I wanted as it was rubbish from the shed.
Here's what I found...
Attachment 213190
A turner 220, two turner number 4's, and what I'm guessing is a stanley number 5 with a turner iron and chip breaker. Plus the old rebate plane.
There were also some chisels ...
Attachment 213189
A couple of unmarked ones, some titans, some gouges and an old marples and a big ward.
Also a few spare bits of turners...
Attachment 213191
Looking forward to giving them a clean and seeing how they go.
Mick.

Thanks for the welcome fellas.
Re the planes... I said to my wife... I won a desklamp on a chocolate wheel when I was about 8. That was the last big score I could remember.Should be due for another win in about 40 years.
I will post a thread about them in the handtools section.

What a great score.
You'll find a heap of knowledgable & helpful blokes & ladies on the forum all very willing to assist.
Also, everyone loves photos, so show off your handiwork; especially WIP photos with notes.
