Antique & Vintage
Chisels / Gouges & Slicks  

*** Click Heading to see Items ***

Slicks are basically just large chisels and oftentimes large framing chisels are mis-identified as slicks.  In general they can range in width from 2" up 6" or so with those large examples being very hard to find.  Most are socket style, but there are also tang models that can be found.  Occasionally a gouge style slick turns up, and even less often crank neck ones appear.  Names like Wilkinson, Barton, L. I. J. & White, Witherby, and more come to mind as the premier makers of the 19th century.

Spoke Shaves / Beaders & Routers

*** Click Heading to see Items ***

Beaders and routers are used for shaping edges and are often easier to use than setting up the router or other electric tool.  Routers ca be used to from or clean rabbits and dados with little fuss or muss.  Some are craftsman made, other later versions were manufactured by the big names in the business.  Some like the Windsor Beader were patented and came out in several versions over the years. 

There are hundreds of different designs and styles of spoke shaves available.  Stanley had one of the largest and most job specific models, and you can find Stanley shaves on the Misc Stanley Tool Page.  On this page you will find both earlier craftsman made versions as well a later designs by outfits like Cinn. Tool Co. Sterns, and others.

Antique Hollow Augers & Spoke Pointers

*** Click Heading to see Items ***

These interesting and versatile tools are used in chair making and the furniture making trades as well as by wheel makers and other woodworkers.  There were literally hundreds of different designs patented and offered over the years, and there is even a book on the subject that was written.  Some are favored by users because of superior design, quality and usability.  But there are also strange and unusual patented designs that would seem to be only suitable for the tool collector as I do not think they would hold up or be as accurate as say the Wood's Patent hollow auger which is so in demand.    Take a look whatever your need, user or collector.
