Well, thanks Don, now I know where that Zenith plane blade I have is from and a couple other things with the same mark AND…where the number three size plane that was my grandfathers came from, it’s a Northern King..just never got around to following up on the marks.
Oh, and I got nadda this week either..

poopiekatI I thought I posted this earlier. Prices are up to you. I picked up a nice #122 as well. I paid about $20 for mine.

Wow, Mike. Beautiful W-T bandsaw, and a gigantic “you suck” for dropping only a Hamilton for it.

Picked these up over the last couple of weeks…

I finally got to have a few quick rust hunts over the last few weeks. Found a Canadian made Stanley No 4 with a rusty SW iron, a No 6, and what I think is a type 12 No 7. Also picked up a Stanley Everlasing chisel with SW markings on it.

The planes…

No 4: $5

Paid $25 for the No 6. More pics to come later.

A few details of the No 7…

If you look close, you might be able to just make out the point of the heart logo…

Iron seems to be bent :( Can that be fixed by a n00b like me or should I replace it? Also, it only measures 2 1/4, possibly the original was replaced by an iron from an old 5 1/2?

Tote needs some love…

Was $35 too much to pay for that?

Here’s the chisel…$15

-- "MOM! I think there's something under our house! I'm gonna need a jackhammer, a fish bowl, some air tanks, and maybe a few pipes."

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago for $120.00. As far as I can tell it has never been used. Now if I could only find some time to play with it.

-- Some rescue cats, some rescue dogs. I rescue tools. Feel free to send me any tools you cannot take care of or don’t want and I will foster them until I find a good home for them.
