Is really impressive how many wooden planes were offered to woodworkers across XIX and XX centuries.<br />It would be a shame to lost these knowledges and I'll be happy to know when you'll can take a scan of other catalogs yuo have. <br />Best regards<br />Giuliano Giulianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479203067787408903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8194109218158379322.post-57089049922635478942019-04-12T13:44:08.372+02:002019-04-12T13:44:08.372+02:00Ciao Guiliano,

And though I do not call it a collection, I must say I have numerous ones (around 50 I think). And in France it is not difficult to buy old lovely second hand planes.<br /><br />I am glad to -at least- flip through my first Italian planes catalogue! Finding information on planes in other countries is not easy, especially when it is not UK, US or Germany !<br /><br />To finish, let me share an old 1929 French woodworking tools catalogue from "Au Mines de Suede". I am sure you will enjoy it.<br /><br />https://dneis.wordpress.com/catalogues-outils/aux-mines-de-suede-1929/<br /><br />I also have at home old Peugeot Frères 1904 original catalogue and Goldenberg 1934 catalogue. But scanning hundreds of pages is not an easy task, so I did not do it yet.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Dneis<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8194109218158379322.post-7723885564403530742012-05-27T19:33:44.734+02:002012-05-27T19:33:44.734+02:00Ciao Stewie,

I like to have a wooden body in my hands from which to get long shaves. Your father's story explicate your skills for woodworking as well as toolmaker expertise. <br /><br />GiulianoGiulianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479203067787408903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8194109218158379322.post-39740989351534227362012-05-27T07:45:54.931+02:002012-05-27T07:45:54.931+02:00Great posting Giuliano.

The quality of the hand planes is extremely high for the price that was being charged for them. If only we could turn the clock back 100 years so that more people could understand how great these fine hand tools really worked. My father completed is Carpentry and Joinery Aprenticeship in Scotland under the guidence of a Master Tradesman. Throughout his apprenticeship he was only allowed to use wooden soled hand planes of all description including moulding planes. He was told to forget those fancy steel soled planes, as wood on wood surface always left a superior finish. <br /><br />Stewie;Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
