AB) Left Handed Broad Hatchet. Very hard to find a Broad Hatchet set up for a leftie; these are handed tools. This one has an extra comfy handle. Some use, no abuse, needs just a quick sharpening. $18
Supplies
Vixen files, or milled curved tooth files- According to a well known plane maker
these are good for floats and bedding plane irons.
Also good as agressive wood rasps, and killer for metal files. All uses- quick stock removal, nice finish. Curiously hard to find
A) Nicholson 12", 10 tpi. Usually around $30, but here only $15- I've got 1. NOS
