    Rust hunting with Dad.

    I just returned from 3 weeks of vacation. Two coasts in in three weeks and staying with three different family members. Man I was glad to get home. The first ten days was with my dad for his 80th birthday. He and I spent quite a bit of time rust hunting and came up with these finds. Nothing too great but some good winter restoration projects.



    Some of the highlights in no particular order:

    Sargent 207 block plane
    T Howser wooden rabbet plane
    An unreadable wooden rounding plane
    A no name wooden jack plane
    A mystery plane that resembles a #40 scrub plane but smaller
    A #8 mystery plane - thought to be a Stanley but now readable markings other than the number 8.
    R. Grove and Sons panel saw
    Stanley 151 adjustable spoke shave
    A no name spoke shave
    E. Green mortise marking gauge
    A.C. Bartletts tongue plane
    Tidgewell bevel gauge
    4" wooden clamp
    no name marking gauge
    Stanley 110 block plane
    A giant draw shave
    Wooden screw and block from a leg vise (it will end up in my upcoming bench build as the leg vise screw)
    A Miller Falls miter saw (hardware and saw still in shipping)

    Thanks for looking guys. Like I said nothing super great but a few interesting ones.

    I guess I am lucky, I have my Paternal Grandfather and Father helping me most every day, by me using their tools to work with, I never met my GrdFather, he passed before I was born, but all the old timers that came in my blacksmith shop who knew him, said that I look and act just like him, and my Father has been gone 31 years now.

    Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
    NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.
