Imagine the skill of the owner of that box.... He could show up at a site and make something beautiful from scratch... Like you said Ben a Time Capsule! =D Awesome!
Wow!! That set of wooden plough plane irons Is amazing!!! I have been needing a set of those. I can’t believe this collection. Every piece is just amazing!!!!
The little "bench dog" isn't a bench HOOK for sawing things on. If you look, the edges are angled. It's a template for marking out the angles on the pins of dovetails. Reversible, by flipping it over. The Mathieson tools are from Mathieson's tool company in Glasgow. The wierd Millers Falls bracket in with the augers looks like a depth stop to clamp on the shank of an auger. The long thin blades look like they're a set (or a collection) of moulding plane blades. Incredible tools.
The blue blade is a broken HSS fine-toothed power hacksaw blade for metal. It was used to make other tools that hold an edge. And it's not a bench dog - it's a dovetail marking gauge.
At 3:20 your "sextant" is a wing divider. (Also called a leather compass when used to mark leather by cutting a shallow groove in it.) I expect the screw in one leg has replaced the thumbscrew that ought to be there. It can be used on other materials, including for marking out steel if marking out fluid has been painted on it. The thumbscrew (or its replacement) reduces the chance of losing its setting while you are marking with it.
I believe what you called a benchdog is a gauge used for marking out dovetails...all hand work...that box is better then finding gold ...just spectacular...i am glad they will be preserved and not lost...thank you...stay safe.... In the drill bit roll out that one item is a depth gauge I believe... My guess...to me priceless...
At 2:56, you have a repurposed machine hacksaw blade (cut short, probably because it got broken or was worn, hence a hole in only one end) which has had its teeth ground off (note the remains of the wavy edge along the bottom edge.) The hook ground into the right hand end is either for raking out narrow slots or for use as a scriber. The remains of the wavy edge is most obvious to the right of your thumb at 3:00.
My mouth is watering !! lol The lad before me has explained the couple of things I spotted. I have to say these are some of my favourite things to turn up !!!! lol. I feel like that little fella from Fantasy Island, "the planes, the planes " !! What happened to the planes ?
A few years ago I picked up a large carpenters chest (big coffee table size) at a local auction. Absolutely stuffed with top quality tools. Still got the chest - use it for my SHTF stuff. The tools I sold on ebay and must have made about £2000. BIG profit (O;
That blue high speed steel blade is from a mechanical saw for metal cutting. It would make an awesome knife. My first knife my grandpa gave me when i turned eleven he made it from one of those, that steel will stay sharp for ages. You just have to be careful not to pry anything as it might snap on you :) You should try to make it into a knife
At 4:02, you have a broken machine hacksaw blade. The clue is the "11 TPI" (teeth per inch) marking visible between your thumb and forefinger at 4:05, and the hint of the remains of a wavy edge where the teeth have been ground off. That hint is the slightly shiny patches along the edge of the blade's face, and, as your turned it towards us, I thought I saw a glimpse of the remains of the ground-off teeth along the narrow edge.
wow Ian you certainly are a very very knowledgeable guy indeed thank you so much for the great information buddy. I do know most of these things but I talk very quickly and don’t edit my videos so whatever comes out of my mouth comes out of my mouth that’s how it is :-) have a great day buddy.
Regardless of what you paid for it, here in the states, each item in your box could easily fetch a price of 25-35 bucks. The saws would possibly get more. I really like everything you got there!
Hang on let me pick my jaw up off the floor. Let me guess, you stole it for 500 pounds? What an amazing set of gorgeous old tools. Positively gobsmacked. 😃👍🏼
Unbelievable collection would have to say £270 top brands, love sorby chisels, and my favourites out of that collection has to be the mallets, shame about the planes but then looking at the collection it wouldn’t surprise me if they where Norris planes which are worthy a small fortune
Yes Lance there was a Norris plane he took it out he told me after I bought it he’s a clever guy is Anthony but there’s some interesting things nonetheless thanks for the guess my mate :-)
I’m going to say 500. Would I pay that? No way. I would pay way more. Awesome find. Would be a shame to break up the lot as it has a real history. Awesome find.
Definitely David it is a shame I don’t have space for it though it’s a fantastic box very well-made if you’re in the UK I wanna come and pick it up you can buy off me minus about 6 small things :-)
Great buy. I have got to liking the box wood foldable rulers. I have came across 3 of them at a flea market but not sure if they are worth what they are asking. They don't have the level in them and they are asking 12 US each. Any ideas. Thanks
The ruler with the level in it typically sells for $100 on ebay. The other plain rules are nice but you can usually pick them up for next to nothing if you're patient. Or buy a new one.
Yes Johnny it’s truly a privilege to be able to look inside one of those Time Capsules I’ve had three of them now and I enjoy them each and every time they are very interesting indeed thanks for watching really appreciate it take care all the best Ben 👍😀
Sorry to say Ben that wood working tools don't do it for me, but still a great video and I can still appreciate the quality of the tool, my favourite I think was the brass an wood mallet, and the set of squares was cool too. 👍👍
Wow amazing collection!! You called that little piece of wood a “little bench dog” I believe it is actually a dovetail marker. It should be either 6,7 or 8 degrees depending on which side you use and then one straight square side.
Not a sextant... A sextant is used for navigation. That's a divider, for marking repeating measurements. If it's curved, it's a gouge, not a chisel. Your little 'bench dog' is actually for marking dovetails. The mortice gauge has two adjustable pins. The marking gauge has only one.
Thanks Jason yes I have a few London passengers also my favorite I love the design of the handle so ornate thanks for watching bye I really appreciate it :-)
You should see my saws. Lovely Diston. Rip ...cross .....skew back taper ground saws Plus Diston/SORBY brass back tenons and several Diston dovetail saws
That is a small fortune worth of chisels and augers! I’m in awe. The triangle sharpening thing you said you’re not sure what it is is a slip stone for sharpening the gouges and such. How much for the auger bits and spokeshaves? haha
The blue blade is a jogging band saw blade that’s been filed to make into a knife we had one at school and the blade jogs back and forwards to cut the steel
I thought I was seeing things. Those tools should not be in your hands.....trouble is apart from our friend Paul Sellers.....not many hands would know how to use them
The chisels and gouges I would say 10 bucks each x 50 for $500. The saws, another $50, $25 for the rule with the level. $100 for the misc rest and $100 for the chest itself so lets round it up to an even $800. Oops forgot the auger bits. I'm not into them, but if that is close to a complete set of Millers Falls I would go $50 more for a grand total of $850. I would spend that any day of the week for such a treasure trove.
@@tooladdict7463 I know what I would pay. This has worked well for me. It has been honed from years of being the "tool guy" at a major downtown pawn shop in Vancouver, B.C. Of course I was drooling over the plethora of gouges and chisels. So in a bidding war I would probably throw reason out the window and pay more just to get them for myself. I would sell everything for much higher.
You wouldn’t think but, the most valuable item might be the bronze head infilled mallet.! Check out the H O Studley toolbox on the web or here on TH-cam. The highest bid in the comments wasn’t even close to what everything was worth. It a Shame to separate anything away from the chest from originally found.
Yes that item certainly is a beautiful one I agree it is a shame to split items up but it’s kind of difficult to store such a huge chest but I kept most of the quality items and I will sell them so I did the best I could thanks for watching and take care all the best Ben :-)
I used to gather those blades up at the rail-yard, they were used in a cutting machine that was clamped to the iron rail to cut it to length.. Very high temper steel.
it’s funny Andrew I’ve had the saws for maybe three months now and I just posted all my saws about 20 of them to Finland for a swap for Sum bahco tools so I can’t help you there mate thanks for watching :-) If you keep an eye on the channel you’ll see what I got for them and upcoming videos when they arrive :-)
Well over a grands worth of tools there Ben. All high quality tools from what I’m guessing was a master craftsman. I would say about £500 but if it’s the same guy that you bought the tool haul from recently for £400, he’s dead cheap, so I’m gonna guess £150 for the lot.
The first "Miscellaneous" piece of High Speed Steel you pulled out looks very much like a used Power Hacksaw Blade that has been re-purposed for another use - possibly some type of scraper to get into cracks or joints judging by the hook on one end. The second piece of High Speed Steel you pulled out also looks like a used Power Hacksaw Blade, again likely re-purposed for anther use. The item you guessed as being a sextant, is definetly not a sextant - it is a pair of Dividers - used to scribe circles, the same way as you would draw a circle with a compass and pencil. Suggest that you take the opportunity to do some research on what you have in that box, because at this stage I do not think that you are worthy of possessing those antique tools.
You need to do your homework, when you don't know the difference between a a dovetail marker and a bench hook, the "bits of steel are broken power hacksaw blades they will have been used to make tools out of as they are HSS,
hi Brian thanks for watching I paid 200 off my friend which was a great price but he did take all the hand planes before he sold it me there are some lovely stuff still in the box I was very grateful thanks for watching mate take care all the best Ben
Imagine the skill of the owner of that box.... He could show up at a site and make something beautiful from scratch... Like you said Ben a Time Capsule! =D Awesome!
Definitely John and all the chisels were so sharp still :-)
I don't know dude.. I own a fuck-ton of tools and I wouldn't describe myself as skilled....😂
Wow!! That set of wooden plough plane irons Is amazing!!! I have been needing a set of those. I can’t believe this collection. Every piece is just amazing!!!!
If you’re in the UK maybe we can work out a deal? I have no use for them sadly
Man I wish. I’m right in the middle of the US
Those also work really well in the wooden router planes. For different size grooves. Or has some called them a hags tooth lol
@@brianmcguire5005 it’s a shame Brian I would like them to be put into use but I think the postage would cost more than what they’re worth sadly
Yes this is true. But hey one day I may shoot you a comment and we can work something out.
Fantastic Ben just fantastic thanks for sharing and stay safe. ☕☕👍👍😷
Thanks Brian :-)
What a great tool chest with some great tools. Thanks for sharing.
No worries Tony thanks for watching :-)

Thanks Mark :-)
Ben I think this is the coolest thing i've ever seen, just wonderful. Congrats again
thanks mate I appreciate that :-)
At 7:34, you have a very particular type of scraper: it's a cabinet scraper, as used by cabinet makers.
At 2:56, you have a repurposed machine hacksaw blade (cut short, probably because it got broken or was worn, hence a hole in only one end) which has had its teeth ground off (note the remains of the wavy edge along the bottom edge.)

This is such a great find Ben, not only for the tools but the story they tell. Someome must have processed tons of wood with em, congrats Ben :)
definitely imagine the work what has been carried out imagine the Skill in the guys hands quite amazing
They are all keepers..it would tough to leave any of those tools for me
Yes I don’t blame you but I am running out of space quick needs most sadly but they went to a good home :-)
@@tooladdict7463 I have the same issue here lol. Well at least they found a loving home 🙂 wish it could have been my house!! Lol

Great set of wood working tools. Can't wait for the restorations. I'd say $475.
thanks Brady 😀👍⚒️
I hope u do a little series of cleaning up and making a set of chisels I would have field day cleaning them up

Nice cache of tools. That small wooden bench hook looked to be skewed. I think it might have been used to lay out dove tails.

I think Mr Neve spent time in the US as the saws, Miller Falls, Irwin U.S. are quality tools but unusual in the UK. My guess is £500 but worth more.
Thanks Tony :-)
I believe the item you called a bench dog is a dovetail guide
I think you might be right Mike thanks for the info mate :-)
Ben what a find. A year's worth of restorations 500
definitely Arthur :-) but I won’t be able to keep All of it I don’t have the space sadly :-)
