Hit a yard sale this morning
#11
My wife and daughter took me out for breakfast for my birthday and on the way home we stopped at a yard sale my wife had spotted yesterday. She noticed it because it said "tools".

I found a nice No12 Scraper and a large Starrett Divider. The guy having the sale even gave me a molding plane that was missing the blade

The No12 was missing the blade, one brass adjustment knob and the brass knob that secured the blade. But I had some replacements in the boneyard. And I just took a No12 blade out of my inventory to replace the missing one.




Next we're going to pick apples.
See ya around,
Dominic

Dominic, happy birthday. Had some luck myself this am, found a Stanley SW 57 with a set of wings in mint shape. Still hunting a 12 though. Again happy birthday.

Happy birthday, and congrats on having a wife who spots the word "tools" on yard sale ads! Glad it had good ones - far too often, "tools" signals the tool equivalent of Beanie Babies.
