The 6x48 was gotten for $2. It required derusting, cleanup, and painting.

The 1" unit $10. Minor work.
The Delta wet grinder $6.

I have picked up hand planes, rotary hand planes, draw knifes, many
vises. Ton's of wood.


Garage and estate sales can be a source of major finds.

My 60 1/2 Lie Nielsen does not get as much use now that I have a Stanley
Knuckle block plane. It's just more comfortable. Price? Ridiculous. 4
planes I think I paid $8 ...


My wife usually goes with me. It's like our time together. She searches
for furniture buys, I go for tools. I have a few acres and while doing
the search purchased a tow behind the tractor weed killer spreader, the
type with the tank and boom arms. Price new for this size, anywhere from
$269 to $369. My price $25. Works great.

I buy new tools, but really the market is flooded right now with NORM
wanna bees who found out they can't do it.

Also old timers that have passed on. The values are out there.

If you can't do it. Understandable. If you can, you will reap the rewards.

Nice work! There's a lot of satisfaction in restoring a useful tool.

Thanks, Not only that but its real solid. When I looked at it, I thought
I can't go wrong for $2.

Once I stripped the heavy rust off, I started realizing what I had.

Great finds. It's getting to be garage sale time in my area and I'm
expecting another successful season. My best was three like new Bessey
clamps for $5 each.

They do not make them like they used to either.....
I like to see the old tools re-built.

Me too. We throw so much in the dump if it looks like too much trouble.
This 6x48 has a table that you won't see on the cheapies. It's solid...
and would probably be a powermatic or jet type unit in the 699 price
range to get that table.. It had no dust collection, so a little box
gets most of it... I don't see dust floating in the air, so I think I
might be ok.
