Rusty N Rustic

Before and after pic of the old Stanley knife. It had quite a thick covering of crud and grime which took a little bit of time to pick out if the pattern. It’s a shame I lost most of the original paint colour but it still looks better that it did. #toolrestoration #oldtools #woodworkingtools #rustytools #antiquetools #vintage #vintagetools #vintagewood #vintagestanley #stanleytools #woodwork #woodworking #handtools https://www.instagram.com/p/BzcmLsjAOvd/?igshid=1uoab0qpszduy

Bootsale treasures I found this past weekend. Plenty to keep me busy, but they will all be users once I’m finished. The Record 077a was a bargain, just missing its blade so now I’m on the hunt. #rustytools #woodworkingtools #antiquetools #oldtools #toolrestoration #woodworking #woodwork #handtool #handtools #flatlay #tools #vintage #vintagetools #vintagewoodworking https://www.instagram.com/p/BzXZGpwgiAC/?igshid=eg7rf58of7qy

Had a really great day today!! I was given this vintage combination machine by a customer at work. It’s a planer (or jointer) and mini saw bench, which run off a Hoover motor. I got the machine home set about giving it a quick clean before I started stripping it down. A quick test and the motor is working, but it most definitely needs a new belt. After removing the decades and decades of dirt, dust and wood chips, I began stripping it down. The only markings it has is ‘Duet’ and ‘Made In England’ If anyone has any info on it I would really appreciate it #vintage #woodworking #vintagemachinery #vintagetools #woodwork #woodworkingmachinery #vintagewood #woodworkingtools #vintageplaner #planer #jointer #tablesaw https://www.instagram.com/p/Bya-TfoAu66/?igshid=15uj8c7i0ogyo

Recent haul from Facebook marketplace included this hand cranked grinder, it’s a lot smaller than my other grinder and I can’t see a makers mark on their just yet. I stripped it down and each individual part is soaking in engine oil. Looking forward to doing a complete restoration on this one. #antiquetools #vintagetools #vintage #grinder #tools #oldtools #handtool #benchgrinder #toolrestoration #rusty #rustytools #woodworking #woodwork #woodworkingtools #vintagewood https://www.instagram.com/p/ByPMH77AFz6/?igshid=usqi2mgi2s26

The small Rabone combination square all cleaned up. I was debating whether to repaint it or leave as it is. It’s missing the level gauge and has plenty of dink’s. just need a bit of a fettle to make it accurate again and then it will be a user #vintagehandtools #oldtools #restore #woodworking #restoration #toolrestoration #tools #woodwork #handtool #handtools #rusty #sheffieldsteel #jrabone #vintage #vintagetools #cabinetmaker https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx9hW0Kgp7m/?igshid=15sq4gle0rpf0

Seriously grubby little combination square from the bootsale this morning. It’s a nice vintage J Rabone square and I’m hoping it will clean up nice. It’s currently soaking in some oil to lift off and penetrate the rust and grime. #oldwoodworkingtools #toolrestoration #vintagetools #vintage #oldtools #rabone #square #restoration #restore #woodworking #woodwork #wood #tools #handtool #vintagehandtools https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx7oI0ygsQH/?igshid=1hxoi6te34diu

A Starrett LS 490 protractor. I have wanted one of these for ages, unfortunately it is missing the rule and a couple of attachments. I have fitted an old Rabone rule into it for now. Another bootsale find at £2 😁 #oldtools #vintagetools #oldhandtools #oldwoodworkingtools #toolrestoration #woodwork #woodworking #handtools #starrett #vintage https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFw-h0gzHV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13e0jlhoz5q3k

Not seen one of these before. A Morrill saw set from the USA. Paid £1 for is and it has cleaned up a treat. I haven’t used it yet so don’t know how it compares to an Eclipse set. #vintagetools #morrill #morrillsawset #oldtools #oldhandtools #oldwoodworkingtools #woodworking #woodwork #handtools #vintage #sawset #sawdoctors #toolrestoration #rustytools https://www.instagram.com/p/BxDOoZPAc-a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7xv4bqfqfgrq

Got lucky at the bootsale today. An Edward Preston bullnose plane. All for £2!! A bit rusty, but can’t complain😁 #prestonplane #vintagepreston #woodworking #vintagetool #oldwoodworkingtools #vintagetools #edwardpreston #handplane #bullnose #oldtools #woodwork #wood #handtools #oldhandtools https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzrfiMAiHp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i4r18i4rbeko

Cleaned up my no5 at the weekend. The handle had a thick varnish which was flaky and looked crap, a few minutes with a Shinto rasp to knock off the flakes and finished it off with some french polish. #stanleyplane #stanleytools #vintagetools #handplanes #no5 #woodworking #woodworktools #oldtools https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRTLsWA1x-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aw478osi0fxe
