Spend $17 Saturday..2 sales were $1 a sale...first sale...

Craftsman/Millers Falls block plane...Stanley 8" square...cleaned up nicely..

Plane?

aka:  Millers Falls No. 16C...next sale..

Irwin 3" No.2 Phillips , No. 8000.....General Calipers...insert for a Montana Brand Drill/Driver set...$1 for all of this...

 

last sale was a bit more "Costly"..

Price tag said $20...got it for $15....EC Stearns adjustable tenon auger...

Cleaned up nicely enough...needed a brace to drive it...

Just happened to have one....with a chuck that has no issues holding a 1/2" round shaft

So..IF I ever need a round tenon made....anything from 1/4" up to 1-1/4"...and up to 4" long....we now have the tool..

 

Not too bad of a Saturday morning?

dang i sure love hitting up garage sales, here in Az, older stuff is sure hard to come by unless you go to the retirement areas, and one may find a gem or two.

 

The big cheese here has now banned me from buying any more of '' i gotta have just cause'' tools, and has me on a '' only the ones you need'' or we start selling some so we can store them, i get her drift, but hey, can't a fella have one ''vice''

Yeah...like I really need another Disston D-23...

$2?    Might rehab it, and see what it can be...

Handle seems to be in great shape....

One in each hand so you can cut off both ends of the board simultaneously. That way you can make two cuts and it will still be too short

Where do you find these sales? Bet that old iron holds a better edge and holds it longer than any newer mass-production planes.

 

My 14" jack plane, with plastic depth adj. knob, is woefully shy about taking a shaving-quality edge. And I really want a No. 7 or No. 8 (22" / 24" ?).  Got three vintage Disston hand saws coming into my possession in a few months.  Will have to hunt up a woodworkers tool swap in the PHX area.

Wow!!!  There is a serious lack of garage sales like that out this way.  I am jealous of the things you guys find.
