I have found a few good deals just from persistance. Put yourself in the right place at the right time. Every other week, I work the night shift, and I have been watching eBay during those off hours. That cuts down on some of the competition.
I was also looking for a copy of Jim Kingshott’s book, A Woodworker’s Guide to Joints. Wow, they think a lot of that book since it is out of publication, it ranges from about $180 for a new copy to $70 for a used one. I kept searching for about a month and finally found a new copy for $18.95.
I believe educating ourselves on what to look for is key. This forum, Paul’s advice, and all the tips from you guys out there have been a great learning experience for me. It is sad that we are having to compete with all the “collectors” our there to get good usable tools.
I do appreciate everyones input here.
