That's a great piece.

Added to the list

I have always used a piece of tape, so glad to have it. They can be had fairly inexpensively and in better shape with a quick google search.

Now that is interesting! And the handle shape... hmm... I’m going to have to see if I can find anything on that little beauty!

That is in very good shape!! One of the later Stanley wood body planes! Probably within the last couple years they made them! Very cool!!

This vise came to me a couple months ago but I never got to posting it...

And this little surprise in the bin i discovered is from my most recent treasure rescue...

Both great useful tools. Really essential tools.

I agree.
I have been fortunate to come across a nice 10" sweep Stanley Sweetheart drill and many bits have come my way.
I am more and more grabbing the SW to drill out handles and or anything. I used a smaller 8"/9" sweep no name I have when installing the new dishwasher a few months back, requiring a new waterline run a completely different route than the preexisting washer set up.

Spokeshaves...they are on my radar now for the next handle I work. Wether it be thinning and shaping an off the shelf or working an old mattock handle again, the next rehang will undoubtedly need some work.

So.... What' the difference between a spoke shave and a draw knife? I picked this up at one of my favorite stores last week. ( Dad's workshop, their prices are amazing) I just got tired of using my pocket knife for shaping handles.

And I totally wondered off subject. Sorry. Here is my Stanley from my last take.

You have a draw knife there.
Here the big one is a draw knife and little one is a spoke shave.
