A needed Road Trip

[steven newman]

With all the stress going on here, then my Daughter brings all 5 of her kids to the house to "clean things up"....IF I had stayed at the house any longer Friday...it would NOT be very pretty...lets say Day 2 on Paris Island....yeah, THAT level....decided to just grab a coat and hat, a mountain dew zero, and take a long drive....Just some "Me Time" away from everybody...

 

Bypassed the store in Urbana, OH. , already shopped that one out....headed on south to Harmony, OH.   to visit Heart of Ohio Antique Center....and look for items the shop DOESN'T have..found 2 items...then drove over to Titus Road...to Springfield Antiques....and found 2 more items...

 

3 out of the 4..

A very small block plane....a Stanley 4" square, and a Stanley No. 66 with a cutter and a fence...the "4th" item?

$10 for 10 dies...the one that you can almost read the size on?   a 12- 24,  there is a #8-40 in the mess, too.

 

The Beader Plane?

Came from this case...Stanley #45 with 2 boxes of cutters...$195...the stripped down version of the #66 was $85+Tax...mine  was $70...

 

The ring of dies came from here...

Which is the backside of..

But wait, there is more...look up just a tad..

Top half...walk around this and into the stall...

 

Have to watch where you step..

The old guy that has this booth, also has a second one...about 5-6 booths away..

This wall is at the end of Building #8...then do a "Right, Face!"

And then a Half Right, Face!"

Name a hand tool..and there is a very good chance it is either here, or back at the other one..one shelf is loaded with molding planes, some plain...

And some a bit fancier...

Outside of one booth...building #5, I think...had this sitting out by the aisle..

Not sure what was in that barrel...

Turned to the right..

Everything you would need to start a Blacksmith's shop?

Price on the bigger Anvil..

Tain't cheap....

Needs the vise..

The dish is a Forge, with a blower underneath..and all kinds of hammers and tongs..

 

BTW..I found this over at Springfield Antiques..

A Whizzer for a Geezer?

And..one of these things..

You think somebody was on the ball?

 

That's about half of the pictures...

Let me know IF you want to see the rest..

[Gene Howe]

Before you make the turn into the Mechanic's tool haven...

Other "sights" to see..

Big teeth, little saw..

$50 Backsaw?

Methinks the Froe has seen better days..

You MIGHT want to wear a pair of Kevlar gloves..BEFORE you go digging around in thar..

Well, IF you need parts for a combo square, or just the square itself....Plane behind it?   Made to do Crown Moldings...wood, or Plaster..

Beware of dark corners...

And watch your step...there ain't a whole lot of room in some of these booths..

As for this little plane....from New Haven, CONN....it has been cleaned up..

Iron is now sharp...about the same size as a Stanley 102? Maybe?

Those Dies?

Wire ring has been cut away...a few spots cleaned up....Die Holder will arrive tomorrow...these are 3/4" diameter dies...and the holder needs at least 2 set screws. 

 

Trying not to post ones I already did...Morris would go Bankrupt in these 2 places....they would have to kick him out at closing time ( 1800 hrs, most days..)

[Grandpadave52]

I likely will not drive over to Tool-orama unless you could bring me home after I traded my car for tools.

[steven newman]

This came today's Mail..

And I test fitted one of those small dies into the holder..

8 x 36 NF thread...had to drive the die into the holder, and then tighten things down..

Backside of the holder....Need to build a case to hold this and the 10 Dies...

[steven newman]

Tornados last night...Indian Lake, OH area was badly hit....waiting to hear from WapakFred on how he made out last night ( Fred Hargis, JR)

 

Lakeview, Midway, Russell's Point...are mass casualty zones right now....Several Trailer Parks were also hit...

 

Area is 14 miles north of me....was a LONG, Noisy,DEADLY night...Waiting to hear updates...almost 7,000 without power up there, in northern Logan County, OH.   All roads are closed up there, as well...

 

Will update as the day goes on....
