The list goes on, mostly because of how random stuff comes up and how I purchase it. Stanley no.81 scraper, new sole plate, light clean. 3 which shouldnвЂ™t take to much as it is in fair shape. A Tyzack dovetail saw which I need to do bit more work to after a quick tidy up and using for a while. 6 Stanley Sweetheart, mostly lightly corroded and reasonably well used in the past then left probably to the next of kin with next to no interest in it hence why I came across it. That sounded like good deal to me, so I quickly handed over the 20, and beat feet before he had time to change his mind.Д¬urrently a no. I put it back down and was walking away when the seller told me that he was tired of lugging it around to flea markets as it was heavy. I picked it up, and saw that it had a $65 price tag on it. The paint was almost completely gone, but all of the parts seemed to be there and it turned very smoothly. I just feel that I have to strike the right balance between woodworking and tool restorations.ДЄ couple of months ago, I went and did a little rust hunting at saidВ flea market and stumbled upon this hand cranked grinder. ThatвЂ™s not to say that I donвЂ™t enjoy restoring tools, in fact itвЂ™s a major part of why I started this blog. I have limited time in the shop, so time spent restoring tools is time that IвЂ™m not building anything. For me, buying an old tool means that I will completely restore it and this takes time. I have way more hand planes than I need and still have about 5 in the queue for restoration. It needed a good rehab, and I just didnвЂ™t want to spend the time doing that when I already have one. 7 of good vintage that was being offered for only $35. Of late, I have been getting more and more selective about what I buy. IвЂ™ve had a bit of luck in the past and have found some great deals. I like go and have a poke around to see what old tools show up for sale. In the summer months, there is a flea market near my home that opens every other Saturday.
