Hello my name is Bob, and I am a maker of tools. Just for fun really, but I have made tools using only tools I have made in order to make a tool that would then allow me to make the needed tool to make a tool!
Most of my tools are woodworking hand tools. My ideal tool is a tool that is very useful, never existed before and could have existed for a hundred years. If I can have it look like it could have been made a hundred years ago, all the better.
This is a tiny spill plane made to test the concept. It's entire purpose is to make spiral shavings. In olden days one would light one of these to move a flame from one location to another. Lighting a pipe with a spill was a classic application.
