Yandles has a real inviting atmosphere. Held at a working saw mill (which closes down for the show) it is not a huge show but big enough. And theres plenty to see - as well as lots of interesting timber :)
Needless to say, the boys goaded each other to ever greater heights of tool purchases. It was hilarious to watch. And don't even ask about the manbag...............;)
Back home I've been having yet another workshop change around in the never-ending pursuit of the perfect layout. With my ever expanding planemaking I needed another bench for final fettling and "shipping". So I have now sorted that, as well as making the shop more efficient. Again.
Two more planes are leaving the door - they certain look pretty!

Phil,
Absolutely outstanding! I'm a bit familiar with what the first plane is, but how about the second one? I really like the way the bottom halves mimic each other only in reverse.

Thank you!
The second plane is a "Miter Plane", a low angle plane for cutting end grain and for use on the shooting board. The design is 18th Century and the "blocky" shape is an advantage - this plane spends a lot of its time on its side.
Best regards
Philly

Good question! I have a japanese tea service in mine. They compliment each other pretty well (IMHO)
Good luck getting your shop operational,
Philly
