Dear woodworkers from Utah,
Last time I did a little tour in the US (few years ago in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana) I stopped in almost every “thrift store” and “antiques” along my way, hoping to find a good old rusty hand tool.
I did not find anything and came back quite frustrated. It’s frustrating because in Europe in almost every country I go, I find something worth buying, so I guess I was either unlucky or I don’t look in the right direction in the US.
I am now planning to come back in this country in September and will be 2 days in Salt Lake City.
Could you recommend at least one place selling second-hand hand tools in this area?
I am particularly interested in tools which are scarce in Europe, i.e. Metal NON bench planes, specific US brands such as Ohio, Orange, Miller Falls etc.
This is just for my own use.
I would be happy to bump into a metal scrub plane or someting like a Stanley 95 for example…I am not looking for a super bargain, just a nice tool...but oh well, anything would do, I’ll be on holidays so…I come to walk a bit in Yellowstone, but I’ll have space in my rucksack on the way back.
Many thanks for your help!
