The hunt continues! This video shows the second haul of 2024 and possibly my best ever. We've got tons of old vintage axes, rare knifes, a Ford wrench, man cave decor, and to top it off an amazing old Homelite chainsaw from the 60s. The season is in full effect, don't miss out, go find some treasure!

If you need a plane guy then I'm your guy. The Stanley planes you want to look for in order of price are the No. 1 ($1000-$2000), the No. 2 ($200-$300), the No. 8 ($80-$200), and the No. 7 ($50-$90). The ridges milled into the bottom of some of the planes are called corrugation and Stanley created them with the thought of reducing friction of the sole on the wood. About 10% of all Stanley planes are corrugated and it does make them worth about $10-$50 more. FYI the corrugation does not actually reduce friction at all. I only know about Stanley planes because from a functionality POV all other planes are crap so I cant tell you anything about other planes. You may also want to look out for the Stanley No. 45, No. 50, and No, 55. You've probably seen them before they are very complicated planes with a lot of knobs and dials and the 45 typically goes for $45-$100, the 50 goes for $80-$200, and the 55 goes for $100-$300. I hope this was useful. (:

That’s really interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Don't forget Sargent (my personal brand of plane), and Millers Falls! Both equally as good as Stanley but fell to obscurity with time.

That first Knife was made from an old forged pair of cast steel Sheep Shears!!!! I have run across a few similar over 40 years. Ones I saw had Antler/Bone handles

Well, I thought I had something rare! Seems that a few people have seen this mod. Now I'm curious what the make is. Thanks for the input.

@@old_iron_axe_and_tool Many S Shears were made in Sheffield England and are stamped so. Some Early ones forged here. There was a few Cutlery farm implement outfits here in US that made them. Most you find are pretty rusty and stamping long gone. Some Blacksmith forged ones had no maker stamp. The one Legit American Plains Indian sheep shear knife I saw in Auction 25 years ago was awesome and pretty Rare. American Indians improvised many old farm tools back in Early-late 1800s.

I'm assuming you probably know this already but that first knife was marked "Sheffield" and any tool steel from/made in Sheffield England is very commonly regarded to be the best tool steel to ever come out of the industrial revolution. I pick up anything that is marked Sheffield even if it is in poor shape or I don't have a use for it.

A guy in one of my knife groups posted a pic of a Sheffield knife that was really similar, I can't remember all the details but I remember it was like 1840s or earlier. I think for shearing sheep or something like that . Kabar and Case made kitchen knifes . They are cousins so they made a lot of similar stuff.

I may be mistaken, but I swear I've seen a knife with a tang like that which had a jawbone handle. I'm confident that it was modified from something else, but couldn't say what. That unbranded boys axe I'm thinking a 1990's collins, the ones with the black paint and yellow scroll font logo. That little vise is a Stanley handyman, the red and blue paint scheme gives it away. I really like michigans myself, and especially that particular Honestead. One just like that was my 1st axe, which belonged to my grandfather. My assessment is that they're a very early production Mann era collins Homestead, early enough to still have convex cheeks but not too high of a centerline and the bits are quite thin. I also have a Homestead western DB of the same era.

Definitely modified sheep shears for the knife. As far as that first boys axe or hatchet with the 1 1/4 or 1/2 M mark stands for Mann I believe. If you wanna sell the blue gba or HB axe I would gladly buy it lol. Great video’s absolutely look forward to watching these every time. Thank you!

The Craftsman plane is a corrugated bottom, as I never restore chipped planes but you can grind down the chip in front to make it even with the other side. It also looks like the tote and knob are plastic, I have a couple of very old Craftsman planes that have the rosewood handles. This week I found four axes and they will all take work to restore, like mushroomed heads, horrible grinds on the double bit blade, a Rexford boys axe, but I can see you have a lot of work ahead on them axes.
