Traveling through the heartland of America, (all covered with cheese) while completing my appointed rounds, got a chance to hook up with my boat building Sensei, Dave Richards and witnessed the MOASC. Always good to swap WW tails and ideas. #1 son is getting to be quite the little man.
I stopped in a few antique shops looking for hidden treasure. Not the great finds I hoped but treasure just the same. When I explained that I was a student and not just a collector, one of the shop keepers took me around to his "preferred stock". He also gave me the names of some other dealers in the area the specialized in Neander merchandise.
Couple items of interest the small bench plane was a gimmy that will just be a paper weight. The other two are both salvageable and on queue for fettling. The 1920s vintage cabinet scrapper is in mint condition never used. Thanks to Creeker Tom La Russa there are a couple LV irons in route.
