 Is NOT off to a good start.    One store had a little #3 sized plane, by Worth.     Bottlecap adjuster and all.   And, they wanted almost $18 for it?     Pass. 



Restore Store had five handsaws,  most were worth somewhat less than the $5 they wanted for it.  Pass. 




Another place:   One could smell the rusties on the way in the door.   kept looking, high and low.   Hmmm, I can smell it, where is it?    Ah, hidden on a bottom shelf!ning-sdc14512-15969-44.jpg?width=750a RED jack plane.    Made by/ for Corsair.    $8 out the door.   Brass adjuster wheel, real wood handles.   Took it apart when I got back to the shop:ning-sdc14514-15969-48.jpg?width=750I never have seen a frog with a single bolt holding it.    But, there it is, a single bolt.    There is not much wiggle room either, it slides just a little bit, back and forth.   The iron has a Stanley "Clipped corner" logo, on the back side, not out front where it can be seen.    I sharpened the iron, and flattened it a bitning-sdc14515-15969-18.jpg?width=750Length is 13-3/4" long.   Iron is 2" wide.   I might finish stripping the handles, and add a coat of red paint to the body.   Might be headed for Ebay.....
