The Stanley Hand Plane Pocket Inventory Workbook
This book is sized to be carried in the field while at the flea markets, antique shops or auctions.
Keeping track of your collection is an important task for your collection. As the collection grows, you should keep track of the pieces you purchase. The information recorded can be used for future references for many reasons. Sometimes it’s important information to know and sometimes it’s just fun to remember. Also tracking what you have helps to fulfill a “set” or series within your collection. For instance it’s good to know if you need one or two specific planes to complete a set of a particular type or style. Although this workbook is written for your Stanley collection, you can also use the extra spaces for other pieces in your collection. There are empty inventory pages for other brand planes.
Knowing What You Need.
On top of making sure you don’t accidentally re-purchase an item, having an accurate account of your collection can assist in figuring out what you need/want to add to it. Regardless of what you collect, there’s undoubtedly something you’re on the hunt for. You may remember one or two of the “big” things you want, but there’s probably a longer list of smaller items that easily slip your mind.
Knowing what’s already in your collection will help remind you of what you don’t have. Say you’re creating a list of items that are a part of a smaller series within your collection (i.e., a specific author within a book collection). By looking at what you have, anything you’re lacking will stand out. This will make it easier to create a separate and more accurate wish list. Jotting down a list of things to look out for is great, but without knowing what you already have, it’s easy to leave something off your list.
Use the blank pages at the end to make extra notes and track your wish list.
