December 16, 201213 yr  To a "Mall' full of antiques, including me when i walk in there. Anyway, just a few pictures of a few of the "Treasures" inside...Well, not all are treasures.. a few better ones on the floor... A handmade Welcome sign?  Coffin smooth plane was $17, and had a non Butcher iron...same price was on that old green box, i guess because of those drill bits?couple of $12 planes.   Red handles look like one of mine.   would you prefer a few $5 handsaws?  I even found a tool chest for all of this stuff..Your choice of door hardware, too.   The level is a 24" long one.  Chest is empty, with a single sliding tray inside.  Like that saw?   Chest is $49.....for those that are thinking about building a bench, how about a decent sized vise? them's 2x8 9 at the least) with a large wooden screw.  Afraid you'll have to add your own handle, though. OK, one last Treasure for today..It does have a Butcher brand iron.  There is also something different about this little Coffin Smooth Plane...That handle wasn't an "add-on", it was part of the blank the body was shaped from.  This little gem was in a glass case, and is $65 + Tax.. Two mile walk, one way.  Being off work, and waiting for ANY sick pay to start, all I have to do nowadasy is walk.  And try not to drool on treasure like these... Sign on pick up truck's back window..:' Save a Horse, ride a Cowboy'
December 16, 201213 yr The wood screw vise is AWESOME! The two handsaws as well. I would love to get a good look at that tool chest. I wish I lived near you. Great post!Adam WelkerRed Car Construction and Fine Woodworking
