Well, things have slowed down around here as far as sales are concerned, but I was able to find a few things. Here we go.












I've given up quantity for quality. Seriously, the 65 and 993 corner brace are about as minty as I've seen and I think the 41Y is NOS. Thanks for looking!!

Very nice Dave. Folks should know that finding such nice stuff in the wild is almost a full time job and involves a lot of driving, and coming home skunked more than half the time!!

Ain't that the truth! I must confess I get a certain satisfaction finding this stuff. The downside is that my shop is so crammed with stuff its getting hard to find places to stash it.

BINGO!!!!! And it has to be for the "thrill of the hunt", because all things considered, there isn't much actual "profit" in it when you consider the expense of driving, lodging, and the time spent searching....

Jack, you just laid out the reasons why it is better to buy from you and spend our time working with wood. You are very much appreciated. But I guess we miss the thrill of the hunt. Hope to see you at Madison if we both make it.
