Funnily enough it does, between jinery gigs he spends a lot of time at the casino in Monte Carlo he has a private parking spot for the DB5, it's ocean green with a tan hide interior, it has a full original tool kit in the boot, it's Dunlop SP tyres are almost new, etc, etc, etc.....

I'm building up to a novel where I explain in great detail the life and times of 3 planes! The left one is a smoothing plane, middle one a jack plane, right one a fore plane. They are used to make spintery wood less splintery, sort of.

Left one is a "modern" Stanley No4 early 20th century, middle one is a Stanley No 5 type 6 1888-1892, right one is a Stanley No6 type 5 1884-1888.
Love them all.

I actually bought a plane one time but couldn't use it so I ended up sawing the bottom of my cupboard door instead. 🤪

Went to a woman's house a while ago to sort a kitchen unit door, she'd tried to sort it herself didny quite work so asked me to fix it. I'm stood there mouth open looking at this unit door, it looked like a dug had chewed the edge off it, I asked her wtf happened to that? She had a 600 door and needed to cut it down to fit a 500 unit and didny have a saw so she used a "segregated knife"
I think she meant serrated, but she'd cut the full edge off the door using a bloody bread knife! You've got to admire the commitment it must have taken hours!!
