Thanks Dan,

I took a look at the M-WTCA website, and saw some of the old hand tools. 

Now I'm afraid I might be bit by another old tool bug! 

 

...I wonder if I can talk the neighbor out of that "BIG STANLEY BEDROCK PLANE"

...I'm not so sure about that, I've seen prices on some of the old hand tools, but you never no what might turn up "CURB SHOPPING" that's where the neighbor got the "BIG STANLEY BEDROCK PLANE"

Helped the friend out by putting a timing belt on his Toyota 4Runner, on the side of the road in the rain.  Didn't take any $$ so he offered to buy me a hand plane from the place I like, Highland Woodworking. 

 

Told him you better check on prices before you commit.  

 

Took me to HF instead.

Congrats Larry. If you can't buy those expensive OLD irn tools at least you can see some rare ones in the Gristmill.

That and learn what's what. Never know what I might find on the cheap or "Curb Shopping"
