Went to an estate sale that showed pics of several planes and advertised a "lot" of woodworking tools. The guy running the sale was WAAAY out of line on the prices of the planes ($35 for a rusty Handyman #4), but I was able to snag a couple of things.

It wasn't the first Versa Vise I've found, but its in really good shape. I also found this pretty nice Disston #9 which even still has part of the label around the medallion


I doubt I'll keep either of them, but its still fun to find them.

Good finds on both!

It seems that you and I have the same affliction - the thrill is in the hunt!

Both great finds.

Dead here, absolutely nothing happening.

Things have been very stark around here, too. I've been cultivating relationships with some of the folks that run sales in hopes that I'll be able to get some early access to sales tax his year.
