One of my favourite ad terms for yard sales...BARN SALE!!!

 

It did have a lot of power tools, though

And a sander.   But, I wasn't after power tools, so...$13 later, after digging through a tub

Two draw knives, one needed a new handle.   A vise for the drill press ( need a few bolts, now) and a pipe clamp in need of a 1/2" black iron pipe.   Handle is installed, knives cleaned up

the curved one is a 10" one ( Greenlee??)  the straight one is a 8"  EasyCut.  

Ok, Day Two:   Not too much, except when we found one sale opened in the morning, instead of the evening.  Found another plastic tub to dig through.....went past the handsaws, the hammers, and found a pile of rust

Yep,  Stanley No.4, Type 13.   with a SW iron, rosewood handles, and not a defect anywhere.....asked a price on this pile of old rust....$2...SOLD!!

Placed it VERY CAREFULLY in the van, and left the scene.....and to think, still have one more day of sales to go......

Be warned, the Bandit is out on the trail....

Who was that masked man? 

Nice find on the #4 Steve.  I came up empty this weekend.

It looks like our work here is finished, Tonto......

Now that is a true barn find!

$2 Steve? Hope you left a good tip. That's an incredible find.

Well, I can back to the house where the plane came from......picked up a Disston D-23 crosscut 10ppi saw...for ....$2

 

As for the plane? it cleaned up almost minty, into a  Type 13, Stanley #4  

Right to left, the current Stanley Clan ( awaiting their big brother) No.4, type 13 ($2 plane) a No.5c from Georgia,  a No.5-1/2, type 17, and a No.6c, type 10 I traded a couple junker planes for.

And the Disston D-23 I went back and paid $2 for.  Hmmm, I guess it is an 8ppi.   Vise is installed, and made into a "proper" end vise.  "Dogs" by Workmate...

 

Been a busy couple weeks around here.....
