To call it a Fathers Day tradition may be a little premature, but, the last several years, I have been taking a Friday off to go exploring the garage sales with a couple of my daughters. There is a 100 mile garage sale near our house on that weekend each year and, although we don't find a lot of tools, we have found a few good buys on occasion.  I hit one small sale on the roadside where I found these.  A Stanley 46 and a neat little saw bench.  I am getting closer to handsaw work with this little find.  I included a before and aftershot of the 46.  Unfortunately, it came without its irons as they often do.  Fifteen for the plane and five for the bench! I have been hunting for irons since June and bought some on Friday via the auction site!  Cant wait to try this plane.  I have read that 46's are a decent plane.  I certainly hope so as the irons made this thing much more of an investment!

I also found a nice Skil wormdrive saw the following day!  Sorry...no pic of that one right now.

Sweet Finds!

Very cool finds, Masked Man!

 

Yes Larry!   Masked man it is!  Amazing what I sometimes get into with my youngest!  At least I did not post a picture of my "makeover day!"  That may have been troubling to view!  

Very nice and the after sure makes it look good!

Thanks all!

Looky what came in the mail today!  They are better than expected condition wise and the missing 3/16 cutter and slitter came with the plane.  Now to sharpen up and give that 46 a try!
