Coach makers adjustable compass ploughs, mid 19th century (wood
701094 Coach makers adjustable compass ploughs, mid 19th century (wood, gunmetal & sprung steel) (see also 701095) by Falconer, Thomas (19th Century) (attr. to); David Russell Collection; (add.info.: Left, 631, stained mahogany, 17.1cm. Right, 632, ebony, 17.5cm
The single stem fitting into the stock is strengthened on both by the sturdy lower gun-metal plate reminiscent of the steel plate on Gabriels ploughs made some decades earlier. The sprung-steel thread-adjustable fence on both allows use for circular and compassed work. However, there are major differences. On 631 the peg handle makes for easier handling than the squirrel tail on 632, and the hollow-faced iron serving as cutter and nicker on 631 contrasts with the separate cutter and forked nicker on 632. ); British, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a pair of coach makers adjustable compass ploughs from the mid-19th century. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, these wooden tools are a testament to the skill of their creator, Thomas Falconer. The ploughs feature a combination of wood, gunmetal, and sprung steel components that ensure durability and functionality. The sturdy lower gun-metal plate on both ploughs harkens back to Gabriel's earlier designs, adding strength to the single stem fitting into the stock. One notable difference between the two ploughs is in their handles. Plough 631 boasts a peg handle for easier handling, while Plough 632 features an elegant squirrel tail design. Additionally, Plough 631 utilizes a hollow-faced iron as both cutter and nicker, whereas Plough 632 has separate cutter and forked nicker components. These adjustable compass ploughs were essential tools for carpenters during this era. They allowed craftsmen to create precise circular and compassed work effortlessly. Their versatility made them indispensable in various woodworking projects. Today, this print serves as a reminder of traditional craftsmanship and Victorian-era ingenuity. It captures not only the beauty of these meticulously crafted implements but also pays homage to the artistry involved in creating such intricate tools for agricultural purposes.
