Maybe I am cheap and crafty but I just picked up a bunch of great stuff in one stop.
disston no68 -$3, marples (blue plastic handles 1′,3/4″,1/2″) $3each, mint record 071 with fence – $55, record 044 – $27 (no depth stop, and only one cutter “pointed” but I will just use a chisel..thanks to Paul)
stanley #4 – $35 (more expensive but I have never seen one like this in this condition) it has a nickel plated depth adjuster knob, heavier casting with raised bed on toe and heal…My issue is it appears to mark the wood as if it was aluminum but maybe this will pass after an oiling. It was made in England.
Has anyone had an issue with planes leaving a black mark on wood?
There was also a $60 Groz 7″ quick release vise that I didn’t buy as the quick release bar twisted a great deal when i first tried to release it but I was curious if this vise was any good, thoughts?
I did have to drive 5 hours round trip to get these but I made a day out of it and took my wife out for dinner and I bought her a box rule ($5) and 100yr old one man buck saw ($40) she liked.
