Saturday morning Garage sale.... - bandit571 - 10-17-2017
Had a simple description...."Tools"....
So...15 minute drive, spend $9....plus what the Boss bought
Picked five items...should have gotten a lot more 
but, I am trying to maintain some self control 
( this may take a few posts.....
)[attachment=5093]
@ $2 each...Shelton No. 18 Low Angle block plane, and a Millers Falls #900 ( 1950)
[attachment=5094]
A pair of French Goldenberg planes.....about a #3 size....maybe even a #2? ( irons are 1-5/8" wide)
And, for just a dollar bill..
[attachment=5095]
26" long, skew back 8ppi, filed crosscut ( and VERY SHARP!)....
[attachment=5096]
Richardson Brothers No. 8 As for the french logos...
[attachment=5097]
Cast steel, warranted....
Next episode will be the rehab....stay tuned...

Ok, the iron/steel planes first...

Shelton No. 18
[attachment=5099]
And the Millers Falls No. 900
[attachment=5100]
Rear handle was cracked, and taped up.
Removed the tape, glued the parts back together... [attachment=5101]
Sharpened the iron so it could make some shavings....
Tried to rehab one of the French planes...
[attachment=5102]
This was as good as I could get it....was just too much wrong with that 1875 wood body....too much wear & tear...
Next episode coming right up ( not boring anyone?
) Stay tuned
RE: Saturday morning Garage sale.... - bandit571 - 10-17-2017
Ok, episode three....Remember all these treasures cost me a whopping $9....
The Richardson Brothers No. 8 saw, all cleaned up..
[attachment=5103]
Did NOT need sharpened.
Shined the brass a bit..[attachment=5104]
Note that they used a smaller bolt for the bottom one? They called it an "Extra Rivet"
[attachment=5105]
Tried to "clock" the slots.....medallion one seemed to be in a different "Time Zone"
Gave up on the first French plane....second one is still be worked on....may need a new wedge..
[attachment=5106]
Bit fancier..has two logos
[attachment=5107]
One for the iron, one for the chipbreaker. Wedge is lopsided, too slick, too beat up.....after a trip or two along a board, I needed to adjust the cutter....wedge kept sliding out.
I have some Hard Maple to use for a new wedge....we'll see. Not too bad of a haul, for $9 ?

Cool! It's fun to watch other people collect and hoard, too. Mine is just everything....

The French planes will probably be cutting to the left constantly. Good haul, but could you tell if the owner was a previous woodworker or was he just somebody who collected things? Pretty rare in these parts to see any European tools.
