    I've got some work to do

    So I stopped at my favorite antique store last night and found a Sargent no 6. And apparently there is a new antique store opening up just a couple buildings down and the owner allowed me to come in for a sneak peek. I wound up leaving with 25 moulding planes, a wooden router plane, 3 marking gauges, 2 transitionals, a bench plane, and 2 other things ive never seen before. I guess cash is king because i was able to buy early. Looks like i have some sharpening and cleaning to do.

    I consider myself extremely fortunate. I do find quite a few moulding planes in the wild but they are expensive and/or missing irons/wedges. I had 4 i have found until I bought this lot.

    That's a very useful looking bunch of molding planes.

    Thanks. They are all in pretty good shape. A little clean up and sharpening and they should be good to go.
