You keep that up she'll get a new pack mule.

Thanks.  I've been needing a good block plane.  I think that one will clean up nicely.

You sir hit the Estate Sale Lotto today...That little block plane appears to be a Stanley 102...very desirable and for $2 you should (should I say) feel some remorse....you'll need to clean the top portion of the iron (blade) for markings. I only recently learned one I had marked 102 has an Eclipse name on the iron but it's identical to my Stanley 102 otherwise.

 

The Handyman egg-beater drill in the original box is a GREAT find...I assume it has the bits inside the handle (unscrew the red knob)? The X-Acto set is amazing...new condition as is the drill.

 

Not quite as grumpy now, are ya'?

Nice find, all I have found lately is an old file rusted to the inside of a trunk of a car that had no seal on the truck.  Didn't even take a picture.  Like who wants to see rust and corrosion??

I sure did.  The block plane is indeed a Stanley 102 and the rust is very light with no pitting.  Should clean up nicely.  Yes, the drill bits are in the handle of the Handyman and the X-acto set is complete and very lightly used.  I forgot to mention the three pipe clamps for five bucks each that already have the pipes attached, two two footers and and a six footer.

I may be more apt to go with here from now on.......

You should've worn a mask at that sale. You stole that stuff. The three pipe clams for $15??? For shame!

Should have had nightmares last night Did you go out and check on the stash today just to see if it really is there?

 I was able to get out to the shop and set up my new Laguna spindle sander. Didn't get a chance to take photos but will do that soon. I did decide to use the stand Laguna provided. I listed my old BOSS sander on Craigslist for $125.00 and had several replies the same day. Maybe it was under priced. Someone was happy taking it home.

ditto!!

A mountain of pine. Need to assembly them soon they had mold so I cleaned them and been waiting for them to dry before I plane them to thickness. 

That's an awful lot of pine...what's the planned use?

Bee hives and swarm traps for my mom. They keep bees on there land.

what thickness???...

 

 

In these case probably a 1 1/4. There was more then one nasty warp in the pile if I can keep it around 1 1/2 I’ll be happy, but I have a feeling that won’t happen

Didn't realize hives were that thick.

big badass bees

Lol better insulated is all it really adds up too.  But honestly 1inch is a good goal for the thickness. But no less then 3/4, the hives start having issues with controlling the temperature. That and when they winter the hives (I think that’s what it’s called) the hive could freeze if it’s too then. 

Thanks for edjicatin' me, Matthew. Interesting.
