Big event today!
  After spending the last couple of days sitting on the dinning room table....it finally meandered down to the shop...
 

   
To be "challenged" by the work-horse jack of the shop...
 

   
Almost the same size and weight?   Millers Falls #14 Vs Wood River #62?
 

   
Scrap of Pine....first up, the 62..
 

   
Then the No. 14......I think in the end..they signed a truce, for now?
 

   
Much to the delight of that Pine board.
 

May have a stack of Ash lumber coming to the shop.....maybe a week or two....may be more such "fights" going on?

Tractor Fest 2018....

   
Only bought three items
 

   
Counting this $3 saw...spent $14....plus a $1 bottle of water...You would not believe all that I turned down.....

   
And...
 

   
The backsaw I did buy, came from this pile...then I took the picture...
 

   

Was a hot, muggy day....have other pictures...just didn't want to bore you all...

May just start a new thread, about the Fest...

Anyway...have the three "new" tools all cleaned up..
Little back saw has been cleaned up...Keystone Medallion, Warranted Superior.   Eased some of the edges on the handle. Cleaned the steel bolts.
Next..
 
Stanley No. 82...Type 1(?).....has a 1-29-07 patent date.   Sharpening the blade is a work in progress
  but it is getting close...
Next..
 

   
Now I have two Stanley No. 945-8 braces....latest one is the bottom one.   Jaws still have the spring!
 
Sharpening?
 

   
It be getting there....
 

   
Maybe one more try?

You do not know how hard it is to find those two pulleys I have been looking for.

Also the Fillister planes look fantastic
