This was an auction that’ll be hard to top. Not only were there hundreds of tools, I seemed to be the only person on site with a high interest in buying a lot of them. It was the scenario we all dream of and y’all, I lived it up.
So far the following items have sold: No39 1/2 ECE block plane Shinto rasp No40 1/2 100 1/2 (multiple patrons interested when it goes up for sale) No140 One of the folding draws Bedrock 602 Stanley no2 parts plane 2x No151 spokeshaves No55 spokeshave No81 No12 Made in Holland ruler Convex Kunz shave Mother of all draws No95 - Both small draws Millers Falls multi-tool - I will try to continue updating the comments section as we go
11:14 the first tool is a Shinto Rasp and the second is a Cowles rug or carpet stretcher. The third item IS a scale, but you're missing the trays for it. I really like the scorp! Finding them at a decent price isnt easy. Ive usually found them for close to 175 all day long.
That file at 11:20 I have seen alot of Guitar Builders Use them to hog out the bulk of the Wood on a Neck Build, "Roughing in the Neck". That one is older than any one I have seen. Very Nice.
That's what I use my Shinto rasp for. The coarse side for rough shaping, then the fine side followed by rasps, files, and sandpaper. Shaping necks is my favorite part of guitar building
It all looks cool to me! I especially liked the Dutch folding ruler and the No. 12 scraper plane. I think you are right about the "scale", that thing is pretty ornate and wild looking. Probably very old.
I was thinking maybe they could put weights in the little holders up top and attach whatever they were weighing to some kind of hook on the bottom. Definitely a unique piece
Happy to do it! Feel free to let folks know where they can find you on social media these days. youtube.com/@mdsouth2?si=FalHpxofgnTnBFdU is the spot on RU-vid for all of yall reading this comment
At 9:35, that looks like a float, or at least the cutting teeth do... I know they come in weird styles, but I've never seen one with the double handles on it. Edit: floats are used like rasps but they basically have saw teeth that are really wide. Commonly used to flatten wooden plane beds. At 11:15, that's a shinto rasp, and the rake thing almost looks like those tools carpenters use to draw two boards under tension close together, though I'm not certain.
Thanks for the info! Definitely a Shinto rasp - lots of folks smarter than me around here 😅 I’ve seen a float or two but like you, I haven’t seen one shaped like this.
the radius 2 handled rasp may be a car body tool ....from the age when men were men and bondo was lead .......but they still work great for bondo :) ....have never seen a radius one but it would make sense on vintage cars
I could maybe see some applications where it could be helpful in woodworking. Maybe for rough work in the middle of a wooden bowl or tub. Maybe even a chair seat.
@@justplanefun it may have been designed for that , i can see it working a seat bottom .....could have even been a wooden boat tool as well .....better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it :) (there's a T-shirt for ya ...picture of a No1 )
