SOLD: This Wenzloff & Sons tenon saw is sold through Lee Valley Tools — it’s not one of the company’s custom models.

The saw has a 14″ blade and 11 tpi, which are filed rip. The handle is bubinga. The brass back is slitted to receive the blade, which is 3-7/8″ deep. The saw is sharp and in perfect shape. I purchased this when I needed some extra tenon saws for some classes I was teaching.

No apologies for this fine saw.

Price: $143 plus $7 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 pair of No. 12 hollow and round planes were made by planemaker Tod Herrli about 2004. They are made from laminated beech and are excellent user planes.

I am selling them because I finally received my half set of hollows and rounds from Clark & Williams (which I will never sell, but thanks for asking).

The irons are still in good working order and the tools are ready to go. The laminated construction Herrli used has proven to be stable and they also look fine. I don’t even notice the joint lines.

Price: $100 plus $7 domestic shipping.

SOLD: This Lie-Nielsen 12″ tenon saw was purchased about 2003, before the company switched to the redder dye for its totes. This has a nicely figured maple handle with no breaks, chips or damage.

The only apology on the tote is that I have my initials stamped on the left cheek — I took this saw to shows and classes.

The teeth are well-formed and are all the same height, though they could use a touch-up soon if you work in hardwoods. The saw is filed 10 ppi with a rip configuration.

Price: $120 plus $7 domestic shipping.

SOLD: These were the Leatherman multi-tools of their day.

The rosewood handle holds seven tools: a gouge, countersink, bradawl, gimlet, saw and (inexplicably) two scratch awls. All are secured in the chuck.

This one is in great condition. The rosewood is in fine shape and the chuck has almost all of its plating.

Price: $30 plus $5 domestic shipping.

SOLD If you work with curves, this is a handy gauge to own – I have several versions, including a shopmade one. This gauge is from the Canadian maker Les Outils Cullen. It is a well-made tool that you don’t hear much about.

The head of the gauge is curved so that the gauge can follow both inside and outside curves. I use these gauges when marking the locations of spindles around the edge of a chair seat, for marking dog holes that are offset from the curved edge of a sliding deadman and anything curves come into my work.

The gauge uses a pin (naturally) to make its mark. This one is in fine condition.

Price: $35 plus $5 domestic shipping.
