JA shoulder plane # 1
This is one I got from Jennie many years ago. Now a prime example came with this tool shipment, so I added that one to my collection and will sell this one. Replacement oak wedge, I marked it with “P” = width of plane is about 15/16″ and length c. 8″. Some wear on the heel where someone struck it with a hammer to loosen the iron. It will clean up well. Look under your bench for some rosewood scraps and make a new wedge.
$150

JA brace # 1
$ 50 SOLD
—————-
JA brace # 2 SOLD
Can’t find a mark on this Spofford brace. Another large sweep, this time 14″. Handle is repaired w copper binding, instead of the usual pewter. But what do I know, maybe it was always this way. I doubt it.
JA brace # 2
$ 50 SOLD
—————
———————–
JA brace # 4 SOLD
Bell System, 10″ sweep, Universal chuck. (next brace is the same thing, different size) I see these were made by Stanley for the phone company. when there was only one…both of these are marked “Yankee” on their heads. I see pristine clean examples asking for over $100 on the web; but that’s crazy. You can brush these up, I’m out of time in November.
JA brace # 4, Universal chuck
“Yankee” imprint
$45 SOLD

JA brace # 5. - SOLD
Same as before, Bell System, but smaller sweep. this time 8″ . JA has kindly noted again that this one has a Universal chuck. Means it will hold many styles of bits easily.

Now back to some Spofford chucks, these are all-metal braces. One single-ton, and then four smaller ones. All want a cleaning.

This one’s a project. But it could become something special. It’s big, 1 1/2″ wide, about 8 1/2″ long. Is missing all its wooden infills. Somenone made an oak piece to wedge the iron into the stock.

Hi Peter,
If you still have it, I’ll take the reamer #1 as well….could be fun to play with!
Thanks!

Hey Derek, Would you mind if I buy reamer #1? You have many items already claimed, and I never get to reply in time.
Thanks,
Rick
November 9, 2012 at 4:00 pm
Rick et al: I usually stay out of these discussions, but even if Derek is willing to give up the reamer, there is someone between his call on it & yours…
One small wrinkle is that I tell folks they can either comment here or email me. Next time I’ll just do it with comments, so everyone can see what’s happening. You don’t see the emails that claim stuff between the comments that appear here.
Remember too, there’s loads of tools at Hyperkitten, Patrick Leach’s monthly sale, Ed Lebetkin’s shop at the Woodwright’s School. And elsewhere. If you need the links, see my earlier posts about tool sales, or email me & I will send them.

I’ll take the plane kit (shoulder plane #2) if its still available. And the #79 as well
Scott
November 9, 2012 at 1:15 pm
Sorry missed Marks comment. If he changes his mind, unlikely as that is, I’ll take it.
Still like the 79 tho. How do I pay you?

Hiya,
I’m just wondering if you have another large (Spofford) brace like #1 – I missed the auction by a few hours but would be happy to purchase another one where it came from.
cheers,
