A Hobbies Plane?

Postby rxh » 07 Jul 2021, 19:24

I found this little plane as a rusty body. I cleaned it up and painted it, then made a cutting iron, lever cap and screw for it. I think it may have been supplied by Hobbies as part of a fretwork kit. I have been told that it is likely to have been made by Joseph Wolstenholme & Sons of Sheffield.
