My original shop plans to finish the bandsaw project this weekend didnt quite pan out.  Yard work, time with kids at the county fair, a wedding reception and other misc. family activities took priority and it was a fun weekend although shop light.  I did get a few minutes to dig through this weeks plane purchase and a few items from a garage sale a week ago.  The planes came from an antique mall that is having a retirement sale.  Forty bucks for 9 planes didnt seem too bad.  I think 7 of them are easily going to users and are complete.  Number 8 is missing an iron.  The 9th is really a donor and i will use it to make wedges and to replace boxing on some better planes that I have.  I am getting closer to a set of hollows and rounds.  The garage sale misc. is a bit of a strange mix.  All of the porcelain knobs were 3 dollars.  The rest of the items I wound up getting at a quarter each.  I am not sure why I bought the plumb bobs.  I had several already but for a quarter for the two??...you know!!   I have plans to make a parts cabinet in the future with multiple drawers and this much matching hardware will come in handy when the time comes.     Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Wonderful weekend here Brent! Boy oh boy, what a haul, what a score. 40 bucks is a killer deal if you ask me! I love those plane, and the stamping on the tails, just makes it really interesting and cool. I swear some of you guys and your sales, I can't find those where I live. Green green with envy, nice haul my friend!

most excellent score...

Nice rosewood bevel square.

Very nice find. I love getting out and finding these things. I know what you mean about the plumb bob, but I can't pass them up either. I do have one  empty cabinet to start working on filling up. Of course I still got to find a place for all those levels I purchased a few weeks back.

 

That is one absolute great batch. I have a few rounds and have wondered what is the name stamped on them ? Manufacturer or craftsman?

Crazy good score.  I didn't even have a place to go pick this weekend.
