Good morning to all,
So I am at a garage sale yesterday and the gentleman having the sale has a few tools on a table. Natuarally when I see that I always ask if there is anyway else they are willing to part with. So he says Yeah I have a Veritas/Lee Valley bench plane and I also have a marking gauge. (ears perk up) I said what are you asking and he says I am not sure but I am only going to sell it for the right price. He goes down to get it and I realize the bloody stuff hasn't even been used. Man, was my heart racing. Without dragging this on I came home with a Veritas 5 1/4 bench plane and Crown marking gauge for the whopping total of $125. Woo Hoo! It was a great day to be alive! LOL. Here are some pics of my treasures.
When I got up and took pics this morning I got a little trigger happy and decided to take a bunch of pics of my shop. If you are interested in viewing I am posting them next after this.
