They don't make them like they used to. Well they might, but that’s just nice.I gave it a quick sand and polish with steel wool, and a dart of linseed oil on the wooden bits this morning. Came up well

Actually I suggest looking up w.marples & sons boat level on that eBay….
i have at least one marples bailey plane in the shed. doubt it's worth a lot though.
both from the eye and ear hospital
I presume so. Google tells me the gramaphone dates from 1910s… would have been a high end piece in its dayIs that the same pigott as in McCullough pigott?
oh - i was talking to someone who had a bandsaw that can take wood to about 12 or 14 inches thick but he warned that resawing wood cleanly can take a lot of fettling. he does have access to a drum sander too, but that's going to turn most of the wood into dust, it's not a very efficient way of thinning it.
side conversation - I want potentially to get a piece of it down to 4mm for another project!I'd hold off on the drum sanding with something that old. you want it to look as old as it is IMHO.
