On another site, chisels seem to be the rage...which ones to buy, how to sharpen....so...I thought I show (off?) my little selection.. Along the back edge of my bench,,,there is a rack for the users...Narex Mortise chisels, 2 sets of Aldi's...and a few others Went and emptied the rack of all the other chisels... Including the "Bigs" There is an OLD Harbor Freight just out of the picture on the right. Near the center of this mob, there is a triangular file someone else had made into a chisel....and 2nd from the left is a 12mm Mortise chisel from Okinawa, Japan. In the process of cleaning tools out of the tool well...found a few screwdrivers to put away, too.. Bear in mind, bench, counting tool well, is 16" wide.... I seem to have a thing for wood handled tools... Need to go and finish cleaning things out...

Like the title says.. Some have already seen this plane til....those block planes across the top? Are the main users. Half are low angle ones. Some of the "special" planes. The old block plane is great for knocking off excess dried glue.. There is one thing about these wood bodied planes...they weigh a bit less than the iron versions. That red jack? That is my "scrub" plane. The Big Guys. The Millers Falls #14 because it is used as a big smooth plane. A #8, another #7, and a #81 try plane. You need your Wheaties, before a full day of moving these around..... Somewhere in the shop, there is a third spokeshave.....I tend to treat them as planes. The #45....7 planes in one. IF anyone wants to see what is on that shelf.....I might bring them out into the daylight. Depending on the project, there are 6 or 7 planes that always seem to get used..... Depending on the size of the project....some will get swapped out for another size. The #7 may turn into a #6, or a #5-1/2. The #4 may get changed out to a #3 size. That #5 may get replaced by the 5-1/4 as a jack. The #5 has a bit of camber to the edge of the iron, the 5-1/4 does not. After a long day of pushing planes around...smaller ones tend to come out....old arms tend to get tired.
