I went to an auction yesterday. Picked up some nice Disston saws. All 3 were 26" long. One was 10 tpi n0.2 was 11tpi and the two handed rip was 5 1/2 tpi. I just now tried out the ripper and it is very aggressive. I will be able to resaw with it. The saws cost $12.50. All 3 are clean, sharp and go to go.
After waiting 2 hours for the next tool rack to sell I got the buy of the day in hand tools. A stanley 6C and a #8. They both seem to have over 90% of the jappaning left. The blade on the #8 is a sweetheart and in excellent condition. Both blades do need sharpening.
Next I bought some very rough Stanley series 60 chisels for $3 and then 4, 24" Jorgesen bar clamps for $4 each. I got the other clamps for 1 dollar.
Oh, and the cost of the planes. Would you believe...(I know I should be ashamed)...:rolleyes:...$16 each!
