June 20, 20179 yr Popular Post On the road trip from the Lumberjocks get together......trying to make it around curves and over mountains...back end of the pickup truck was FULL. Kept looking for ANY Antique Stores / Malls......got back into OHIO before we even found one open. To even get out of the Shindig, we had to load up as much of Charles Neil's "scrap wood bin" as we could. This is about half of my "share"..the rest is further back in that corner. Anyway, this is about tools.. These two are the "keepers" of the BUNCH... This one is only for the handle, plate is junk. Not too sure about this thingy... Anyway, I sold Charles 3 saws, and fixed up another for him....I had to haul all the rest of his saws home.... There are TWO Butcher's saws on the bottom. Most of these will be for parts. (free saws...) There was a bit of trading going on. Charles had a top shelf of planes and tools he did not want...I got two planes.. That little piece of metal is my plane stop dog. The plane is a Type 7, No. 8 Stanley Jointer plane. Next.. Type 1, Millers Falls No. 11 Junior Jack.. Also tossed my way.. A No. 85 Stearns hinge gauge. A few irons for planes.. Not too sure about the block plane ones, there are 3 from IBC for bench planes. One still in the wrapper is a 2" wide one. Was a few other odds and ends....oh, about that Antique store? They also sold Guitars and accessories, too.... Had to make it a quick stop, though, had a nasty Thunderstorm headed that way. Made one $9.99 +tax buy in the store... It even had a twist drill bit made for this style of drill. Stanley 6" sweep brace. With a 7/16" drill bit. Long weekend, had a LOT of fun, had a great host. LOTS of food. Met some new people, too. Was told to edit Charles out of this picture, as for these other two Hooligans...(note the SMALL planer?) Radial arm saw now has a router instead of a saw....pretty country down there and another.. This was from US 50, on the way home to Ohio. Right after we passed a group of "bikers" setting up to pedal up and down these little hills... Not a bad weekend road trip...
June 20, 20179 yr Steve, third image down, the hand saw, I love it! Nice haul all around by the way. What a neat trip that must of been.
June 20, 20179 yr I was just sitting here thinking I had not seen you post for a few days (forgot about your trip) and this shows up. Nice! You and Charles big buddies or casual acquaintances?
June 20, 20179 yr Sorry I missed out on the Shenandoah Shindig. Looks like everyone had a great time. Is that mystery saw a key hole saw with a replaceable blade? Anyway, you've got enough rust to keep you busy for a while.
June 20, 20179 yr Author Charles is a part of a group of friends I happen to hang around with over on LumberJocks. The "leader" of the group is aka "Stumpy Nubs" ( James Hamilton) and we seem to be just one LARGE family. Once a year, we try to have a "Family Reunion" of sorts. Charles was this years "host". That bundled saws will be taken down into parts, most of the saw plates are too well beat/bent up to be saved. About half of the handles are users, and I always need hardware.... Frog on the No.8 has been repaired. Brace has a start on clean up. Need a masonry bit to drill a few new holes in saw plates. Might be a tad busy around here for a few days....

June 23, 20179 yr Looks like the trip went well, plenty of rust to be had and some lumber too. Great pictures especially the scenic views of the trip. Glad the trip was a safe one and looking forward to reading the various recon posts. That #8 is something. I've never seen one in the wild let alone captivity before.
