Yesterday, one of our high schools had an auction to sell all of the items in their woodshop. They are dropping woodshop so that they have room for more classrooms.
I both a few items.
1. Two Disston #4 backsaws for $5.00. ($2.50 each) :) They are both in good shape but are not collector's item.
2. A Bailey/Stanley #7 plane. It was the only plane that they had that was in working condition. Paid $27.50 for it. I made some shavings this morning without even adjusting it. Worked pretty well, but really needs some sharpening.
I did not get some of the lumber that they sold. I especially wanted to buy some of the quarter saw sycamore but they sold it in one bid. The buyer got about 300 board feet for $200. I don't have a truck and I don't know what I would have done with that much.
