Reply To: Mr Sellers will send me broke ;)

The prices you quoted are pretty high. I’ve been able to get really good deals (at least compared to those) by bidding on restoration projects.

Restoring bench planes, chisels, and saws oneself can be fun, and is much more cost-effective than buying someone else’s restoration.

Edit: You’ll still go broke, but you’ll have a lot more tools when you do!
