December 21, 20178 yr Popular Post Until something comes along to build with....wood-wise. Stopped at a pair of stores the other day....one had a Nicholson USA Rasp.. Yep....for $2? Seemed better than that $200 Stanley No. 72 in another stall..... Nice logo.....Wandered over to the other store....found a large coffee can full of drill bits... These seemed to be sizes I didn't have.....well, one was. One is a #4 ( 4/16") the one i didn't have was that #5 ( 5/16") dollar bill for the pair... Went to leave the stall, had to turn around...found a shelf....found this thing sitting on it... No, not a space gun....a saw set. Millers Falls No. 214, type 1 Needed a bit of clean up, price tag said $8.....plus tax. As for something to build with? Took care of that "problem" this afternoon... We'll see how far 32 bf of flat sawn Ash will go.....$30. There is 11 boards there, all 4/4 x 6"....we had to cut 5 boards down, as 11' was too long for the van...the 11th was already @ 6' Will post something in the woodworking section, when I can get something started...I barely tapped the stash of the Ash the fellow has, might try to go back and get another layer......need to save up me pennies
December 21, 20178 yr Great deals! We don't have much ash left around here. The ash borer has killed most all of the trees. Edited December 21, 20178 yr by lew
December 21, 20178 yr Our problem is we have lots of ash - all dead. Some of it still standing, but some just rotten at the base and falls over.

December 27, 20178 yr Sweet scores...saw a similar saw set only not nearly as nice the other day $32.50...it's still there as far as I know. Great purchase on the wood...not likely to find that anywhere around less than $1.50-$2/bf...
