Cleaning up the shop, putting away the toys, er tools. Spied a black box

 

Hmm, wonder what I stashed in there? Opened it up, found a couple wood bodies for a few hand planes, eh....and a few of these

 

 

That long sucker is a 5/8 Bowl gouge. If I recall correctly, and it was a yard sale item that cost a $1. Four Craftsman chisels, and four that were I think from Harbor

Freight.

 

 

Went back and cleaned these all up. Now the problems arise. You see, there isn't any room for them in this box

 

 

and the lathe these went to is a rusty, broken down mess. Plastic fan on the "dryer" motor( looks like one, anyway) is broke. The joint between the two sections of the "T" rail is in BAD shape. Rusty as all get out. Not really worth the effort to rehab, even for me.

So, what to do with these "Treasures"?

 

 

 

You might be able to find a buyer for those dark handled ones.

How much for the lot?

Restoration is no prob, I've got metal treatment tanks here. (Custom bike builder for years.)

Seems our buddy Arlin will pick these up in June, for the Vets he works with...
