but then got pretty good. The first sale I went to had advertised old tools. I contacted them and asked if there were woodworking tools. They replied that there were a lot of woodworking tools, but I couldn't come before 8:30. I arrived at 8:20 and found someone walking out with about 15 planes, a box of gouges, some clamps, etc. I was not happy. Second sale worked out pretty well. I grabbed a Delta 31-460 belt/disc sander for $10 and than asked about the minty Stanley 71. The lady said she wanted the stuff gone and that if I bought the sander I could have the 71. Here's some pics of the 71
Left there and went to a third sale and got some really cool stuff. Grabbed a few folding rules. Two Stanley 62's, a Stanley 61 and an unnamed 78 1/2'
A minty Stanley Eclpise Level in the box
Stanley 192 mortise gauuge
An unmarked bevel gauge. I wasn't going to buy it because I already have about 20 bevel gauges, but the locking nut caught my eye
Grabbed this V&B jack plane
There is one more thing. I found this little gem hanging on the wall
