fortunately.. I found sawmill creek.. thanks for you opinions alan.. I think my first step is to get a couple small saws and test .. (won't it be just so bad if I have to buy a few...lol) Anyhow.. just rec'd a LN 112 scraping plane.. I happened to be on ebay right as a gentlemen put it on buy it now.. purchased it for 110 plus shipping... (gloat gloat)

Anyhow, seeing the quality LieNielsen puts out.. I will seek their products first.. perhaps I don't need to spend so much.. but as was said earlier..they are ready to go

I did find a Disston 68 this past weekend at a garage sale..pretty rusty, so it will need some tlc.. has anyone ever tried the table saw top restorer products? I am wondering if it would work similarily on a rusty saw?

Also, as to saw sets.. any preferences?
