I am going to be visiting the Gettysburg, PA and Lancaster, PA areas
soon and was wondering if there are any good woodworking tool stores in
the area? Any good vintage tools stores to visit?
Thanks,
Jeff

Wilkie like the other poster said.

This one is much more obscure and time dependent. If you will be in the
area Aug 27th to September 4th there is a historical steam engine show.
Its not just steam engines. There is a guy with a steam powered saw mill
set up and milling lumber all day. I have just watched for hours in awe!
There is also a flea market that you can sometimes fine some good ole
hand tools or farm equipment. Some of these guys are really serious
about their farm equipment and have 50+ year old stuff looking factory
new. It looks like the adjacent park may be closed, if not you can send
in the wife and kids and have at the show all day. Anyway, see
http://www.williamsgrovesteam.org/

Lets see - Another obscure thing - Wolgemuth auction. This is a building
supply, lumber auction in Leola. Its held the 2nd Thursday of the month.
I have found some tools there but it can be hit and miss. Also,
sometimes stacks of hardwood. I got a decent porter cable air compressor
for $85, new, cosmetic only damage. Saw a huge northpoint unipoint
radial arm saw (440v 3phase) go for $400. I have found lots of odds and
ends (Cabinets for a dollar, plumbing, millwork, windows, doors). Fun to
check out, you never know what you will find. Interesting to watch the
Amish load up their buggies 10' high with their hauls! See

Post back if this is the sort of thing you are looking for, or not.

Good thing I didn't know about that 2 yrs ago! We visited Lancaster area for
a weekend, and I'm afraid if I'd known about Wilke, things would have gotten
a lot more expensive than the $600+ quilt!

You was buying Amish.

Dey ain't no Amish at Wilke.

Dey is Chiwanese at Wilke.

Worked for a company based in downtown York once.

Great tavern across the street that had been in operation since the
mid 1700's.

If you plan to visit the Gettysburg battle field, you want to allow at
least a full day, especially if you are a history buff.

I hate to tell you this but your quilt was likely built by an Asian,
especially if its an appliqué style. here is a link, The page doesn't
display properly for me but you can still read the text. The Amish do
traditional quilting and farm out appliqué work to the Hmong (From China
and Vietnam)

This one is not an appliqué style. It's a traditional quilt, and SWMBO tells
me it was closer to $800.
