Very cool! Depending on the model of the Sears lathe, you could have a very
fine machine. Some of those old planes could be worth some money to
collectors!

Lane, I think that the Craftsman lathe will suit me fine . I don't plan
on doing any thing with tolerances to close. Mainly just learning the
craft.
As for the planes, my beloved and I were at dinner tonight and she was
trying to figure out how old the WW tools might be. She figures some of
them might be from the 1840-1850 era. I plan on using those which are
usable and displaying those which are not. She even offered to let me
put "the prettiest one" in the display case with her Royal Dalton
figures. Gotta love the woman.........
In any case, I don't believe that they will leave my grubby little hands
until I pass them down to one of our sons.
