Part 1: The tool box
I juste want to share with you Jocks my little hand tools collection. It was a gift from a old judge who got the tool box of his great grand father who use to build home in 1875 to 1905.

Part 2: Here is a Stanley Bailey No. 7
This is the first tool that i will try to clean up so i can use it again. It is a Stanley Bailey No.7, who need a good clean up got some rust and need to sharpen the blade.
Part 3: Stanley Bailey No.7 back to life.....
Here is the plane back to life after a good bath in Evapo-rust, a good buffing, a blade sharpening and wipe-on poly on the handle. I did some test in maple, walnut and pine. The first stroke in walnut put a large smile in my face. In the last pic you can see my little helper….look at that smile. It is because i told him that some day those tools are gonne be his. Take a look at part #1 to see pics of the tool box and some of my tools.
