Looks like a really beefy circumcision tool, scary!! She is only allowed to use it under supervision and well away from me! I think it will be useful for little trimming jobs with the trees and bushes we have in our large vicarage garden. She is fine with secateurs, but often needs my help with thicker branches, this will mean she can carry on without me needing to do all the work! Win win!

She didn't leave much money cos she enjoyed her life with it which I'm also fine wih
The silver block plane (Veritas NX60) in Nickle Resist iron is pretty much what I bought with the sum total of the money I got in my sixth share of that money.
It's nice but given the choice I'd rather she were still alive and healthy but we don't get that choice.



The other two are a Lignum Vitae soled ECE standard angle and low angled Luban rebate blockplane that I've had for a while shown so people can see the scale better.

I've been using one of those for years. Never fails to remove a filter & was cheap as chips from Horrible Fright. I've thought about buying the proper sockets a few times, but can't justify the buy when I have this doodad.
