    It's worth it's weight in patina

    What kills me are cast iron planes that have a chunk broken off the side and are discounted a mere 10-20% or so. No thanks

    Whatever you do, be sure not to trap moisture below the floor and ensure there's plenty of air circulation under the floor -- I speak from experience!
