Tools

A Norris A5 Smoother. Considered by some to be the best.

OK, I admit it... I collect tools - mostly antique planes. I'll put a little info on here on what I have...

Planes - these are what craftsmen used to shape wood before electric routers were invented.

"Hollows and Rounds" - this is a set of 18 planes that cut different width concave and convex curves.

Belcher Brother's "Nosing" plane. This plane was used to round the front of the tread on a stair. Its unusual because the "Belcher Brothers" are not listed as a plane maker in either of the reference books I have.

A "Coopers" (barrel makers) plane. Unusual because of its curved shape.

A Clifton #5 "Jack" plane.
