    Just another Road Trip

    Wound up walking through Heart of Ohio Antique Center....well...maybe a little less than 1/2 way through....Only found 2 items that would fit into my budget for the day...Had $32 available...spent $27. 35 ( because I got a 10% discount..)

    Anyway.....walked past 20 sharpening stones, couple thousand wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers....and found a small saw....

    Still have to remove the black tape, spine is painted black...$3.....Had a few other items in hand....until this one stall....just could not set one item back onto the shelf....$25 before discount...had to set a few items back...but that plane was coming home with me..

    15" long...2-3/4" wide...cutter is 2-3/8" wide
    Sole looks good..(no paint, either)

    Looks like I have a bunch of paint to remove..

    Handles are in great shape, no paint....however..

    Even the brass wheel is maroon? Millers Falls No. 15....With OEM iron, too...

    Not too bad of a day....Stopped in at the new Harbor Freight store.....twice the size of the one in Lima, OH....6" sanding discs, peel& stick....out and about, all by meself, today.

    I did check out those "new" clamps they have.....pin in the trigger is steel....meh.....I don't use that style of clamps....

    All bolts got a drop of oil, iron still has a very small knick ( next sharpening)

    Ok...Was putting away a few items for upstairs...that bag from Hobby Lobby...one of the items was a set of new blades for the Xacto set...
    Xacto rehab, handles.JPG
    First I needed to rehab these handles....collets that hold the blades were frozen in place....tear them apart, clean them up, oil the threads a bit..
    Xacto rehab, old blades.JPG
    Didn't see much in the pile of old blades ( stamped Made in USA) so..
    Xacto rehab, new blades.JPG
    Pack of 5 brand new blades...
    Xacto rehab, ready for work.JPG
    And these are ready for work. Red Handle needed a wider blade, though. Also stashed all the new hardware parts....and put a pair of braces away..
    Two Braces to put away.JPG
    P.S.& W. Samson No. 8012...and a Keen Kutter #R 104 10" sweep.....
    Then spent a while, starting up the next Project Build-along...

    was a busy couple of days....not too bad, though...may use those Xacto knives as marking knives,,,for that "Pristine Knife Wall"
