Hello,
So I am a new Woodworker located in Austria, as the title suggests I’m looking for help to get namely a Router and Spokeshave like Stanley 71 and 151.
Budget would be around 100 to 130€ or ~100£ max without shipping, but preferably as low as possible, so unrestored tools I suppose. That said if i can get one in alot better condition for like 10€ more than thats fine by me.
Would really appreciate it if anyone has some tools they would be willing to sell or can point me to a shop, store, antique dealer etc. that sells these things.
Best Regards,
Philipp J.
You could try eBay UK. I buy most of my used tools there now. And with their recently added international shipping service, you’ll see the cost of shipping to Austria when you view items in eBay UK.
Do be careful how you bid, though, as the bargains are few and far between and a lot of prices are quite high. I think you’ll find what you’re looking for there.
Phillip,
Look here:

Right now there is a router plane #71 under the Stanley tools and an unnamed spokeshave under the drawknives and shaves catagory ( looks like a Record to me).
These should fall within your budget.
Best,
Craig
