Old Routers

[RandyJ]

No, this isn't about that thing you plug in to your computer. These are old woodworking tools that I thought might interest a couple folks here. They are all in one mans collection (James Price), and he uses most of them.
This one was made in 1621.

Thanks Randy,
I would love to meet Mr. Price and see these as well as some of the other tools I am almost certain he has in his collection!

Very cool. A router plane is one of tools I wish I had in my toolbox!

How do you make them spin?

Make one! This one uses a piece of oak from a pallet, an allen wrench and and a thumb screw. Was an after lunch project some Sunday.
