Do they look similar to the one in the upper right of this picture?

Collecting tools is a disease that you don't even know you have until you buy a tool that you have no idea on earth what it is used for, but you have to have it anyway.

I've collected tools for a long time, I didn't even realise I was collecting for many years!

I'll try & post some of the more unusual, starting with these lovely adjustable wrenches, assumed to be coach bolt wrenches from way back.
They appear to be marked "Somborn" & "Montan Werks".

Those are fascinating. The one on the left has a faster lower thread. I would guess a left and a right handed thread with the bars to line the jaws up were installed after both jaws were threaded on?

As you can see in Bob's video the threads are long enough to dismantle it just by unscrewing.

I have one more monster one that needs a handle making...........

Some more adjustables that are more common.

hand tool rescue is a guy from canada, ontario i think that, rescues hand tools and a few months ago he started making old school adjustable wrenches off an 1889 (i think) patent.

I dont know much about planes but thought this to be a nice treasure.
It might be a little while till I get to cleaning but I wanted to post before I forget about and rediscover it in a drawer I place it in to not forget...

Thanks for that Steve Tall. As yet I haven't seen another one though they must be out there.

All wooden clamps.

apparently these aluminum/bondo/wood files, what ever they're meant for, have a special type of handle you'd use with'm, at least that's what the guy told me.

I really like these pliers, they're like channel locks but they kinda slide into the right size, i can see these being pretty useful, one of the ends used to have a flat head driver on it but it's long since snapped.

Those are normally called “floats”. Lots of different shapes and sizes. Most known from wooden plane makers! I buy them every chance I get!
