Getting ready for WIA, I made a seven squares based on Andre Roubo’s 18th-century plans. Chris and I made enough stock for eight of them but….ah…….I have seven! I cut the precision slot in the wrong end of the one handle. Hey could have happened to anyone! Never fear I have one custom square for sale at some future time.
So we will have seven of these for sale at WIA so at least please take a look so at least you can make a comment on my workmanship. Yes I can take criticism….
Looking forward to this event. The area is great so we should all have a good time. See you in a couple of weeks.
SOLD: Odd little set of centre bits. There are two 1-3/4″ bits – both marked J.M. Hoff & Lange. One 1-1/2″ bit marked Hilger & Sohne. An 1-1/4″ bit marked M. Boker. An 1″ bit marked Germany. The rimer is a Buck Bros. tool
All are in good, unmolested shape.
Price: $40 plus $5 domestic shipping.
About Tool Sales on My Blog
Please read this if you are interested in buying a tool. Why am I selling these tools? Read this entry before you freak out. There is no “master list” of tools that I can send you. I am working through several piles of tools and will list them when I can.
Want to see only the tools that haven’t sold? Easy. I’ve created a category for that on this blog. Click here and bookmark that page. When you visit that link, you’ll see only the tools that haven’t been sold.
While you can ask me all the questions you like about the tool, the first person to send me an e-mail that says: “I’ll take it,” gets the tool. Simple. To buy a tool, please send me an e-mail at christopher.schwarz@fuse.net.
Payment: I can accept PayPal or a personal check. As soon as the funds arrive, I’ll ship the tool using USPS. If you want insurance, let me know. I’m afraid I can only ship tools in the United States. Shipping internationally is very time-consuming and paperwork-heavy. My apologies in advance on this point.
If you don’t like the tool when you get it, I’ll be happy to refund your money if you return the tool. But postage is on you.
SOLD: This is a good version of the Stanley No. 39 dado plane in fine working order. I used this tool until I reached the point with my sawing that I really was just as fast with a saw and a chisel.
The No. 39s are good in softer woods, but don’t use them in maple. The nickers are too hard to press into the material. If you work in cherry and wolnut, you’ll be OK. If you work in poplar or pine, the tool is a joy.
This guy has almost all his japanning. Everything seems proper, though I’m no collector.
Price $75 plus $6 domestic shipping.

SOLD: This was my workshop level for many years until I acquired a Davis level. It’s in fine shape and accurate. There is about 80 percent of the plating left. Three good vials in the level are all functioning.
One corner has a very old ding, which as been filed so there are no burrs. The cast iron has about 80 percent of the original japanning.
No apologies on the function. It’s not a sexy looker, but it is bulletproof Starrett.
Price $40 plus $6 domestic shipping.

SOLD: I bought this little “Total Square” to review it in the magazine. Then a competing magazine reviewed the square and I never got around to reviewing it in our pages. That’s too bad because this is a great little square, with many common workshop measurements “built in” to the structure of the square.
Well made in the United States. Square. The blade is 3-1/4″ long. One toolbox ding on the infill.
Price: $35 plus $5 domestic shipping
