Please, don’t ever feel like you’re putting me out with a phone call. I am always more than willing to talk tools; it's the brightest parts of my days. Doesn't matter if it's a question about something I have up for sale or just general “ what do I need to do this or what is the proper piece for this plane” type of question. I’m always willing to share what knowledge I have. I’m in the shop from 10am to 5pm EST…so, feel free to call.

I do ship internationally, so please contact me about overseas shipping rates....

call or E-mail for availability of tools...they do tend to go pretty quick, first come first served...if you call, please give me a few moments to get to a phone...this place is pretty big..

I am away from a computer/internet connection on the weekends but I check email bright and early Monday mornings..

Tools are graded with a modified Fine Tool Journal scale seen :here: No E-bay surprises here, no cracked castings, no chipped mouths, no defective mechanicals...just good solid users that have been thoroughly checked out for defects...they work like they're supposed to. I buy tools that I would be proud to own...good solid users plus some rather fancy stuff from time to time..

Payment:
paypal to my email: brass@snet.net

personal check or money order to the store: Brass City Records
or give me a call at the shop with Credit Card info
whatever is easiest for you
thanks

Walt

Tools for woodworkers who don’t want to do metalwork. All are tuned and fettled for use: soles are flat, wood is cleaned and waxed, all mechanicals have been tested and lubricated, sides and bed are generally waxed to retard rust and in short…these tools work. No surprises; all castings solid with no cracks, chips, defects. All blades flattened on the back and a solid bevel established…you can use it out of the box but I do recommend giving the bevel a final polish…after all, sharpening is the most important “tool” in your box. .

NEW Large flat rate box size…24”X12”X3”…weight limit 20 lbs…price…$15 US...IT DOES FIT A #7 OR #8...CROSS COUNTRY FOR $15...DECENT DEAL
