Rust Hunt Results

[Rob Luter]

The spirits of Red Iron Oxide have been kind the last couple of weeks. I was lucky enough to stumble over a nice Disston D8 Crosscut with a nice clear etch, two #220 block planes (one a Sweetheart with a real tight mouth), a #112 Scraper plane, A Wilton woodworking vice, two saw vises (a Disston and a no name), and a really cool George Bishop double backsaw like this one: http://vintagesaws.com/othermakers/bishop.jpg (only in much better shape).

All came super cheap except the #112, that one was just a good deal.

Today I found a Millers Falls Langdon Acme Mitre Box with its original 28" Disston backsaw in minty fresh shape. Best $10 I've spent in a while :D.

Pics posted this weekend to show it really happened.

I kept reading the rust hunt threads and talked the wife out of 20$ and hit a few yard sales and estate sales today. I got a square, a drafting square, a push broom bottom at one for 2$ and a Bailey/Stanley no 4 by patent type 11 with a corrugated bottom 20$ (good deal?). A cracked handle was all I saw wrong with it and the adjuster rod on the frog is nice and tight versus my no 4 smooth bottom.
