Recently something came up where 20 years ago I would have posted
for advice but this time, having deleted 6 months of traffic as it
was all political spam of no use to anyone here, well didn't bother.
Our daughter just moved into her first apartment. I would have
asked for a recommended tool box and ingredients matching today's
common needs.
I think we did well and Daddy got a little bit too tool happy and
passed on more than she needs (grin).
FWIW, when my granddaughter got her first apartment, I got her one of

Should help her appreciate the value of decent tools in no time :-)
But yes, a good idea. To which I'd add a 14V drill/driver. And a

That was a good opportunity for me to buy new tools for myself and
pass on my used ones to my kids.

I have the 2 man saw that my Grandad and dad used to cut several
trees down in Grandpa's front yard . That had to be at least 60-65
years ago . Got a few old hand planes like yours but have no idea
of their history , got 'em at yard sales .

Block plane. Yup but I didn't think she'd need one in an apartment. I
have several. Every time we have to replace the backyard screen door,
I end up having to trim the wood door to fit. Does a good job and much >faster than any other method in the end.

Dad was a ship fitter in WWII with critical skills defferment. He did
things like build bunk beds and pointed out on the ship hulls there
were few straight surfaces. Every thing was done by hand. The plane
might have come from those days.

I served on a DD destroyer that was built in the latter part of WWII
, The only place there MIGHT be woodwork of that caliber would be
Officers Country . Crew bunks were made of aluminum tube , rope , and
canvas .

I have one like that, from my grandad. British made. I don't know how
to handle it, too many adjusting knobs.

I have several planes, including a spokeshave my father bought me for
a project as a kid. I use them several times a year.
"Scary sharp sharpening" makes keeping them sharp feasible.

If you create a filter to not display crossposted messages it will
quiet this group considerably.

backyard screen door, I end up having to trim the wood door to fit.
Does a good job and much faster than any other method in the end.
I'd call it a bench plane.
Block plane would usually refer to the smaller 1-handed unit.

I wouldn't worry about it. The ones I have were sold as blockplanes
and all are 2 handed.
