Project Information
A gracious neighbor offered some vintage tools that belonged to her father; she put it on the neighborhood blog in our retirement community. A lot of junk ends up on the blog, where people who have downsized need to get rid of more stuff. This email popped up while I was at the keyboard and had an attached phot, which I opened. There were 2 saws protruding from the box on her front porch. She wished someone could use them who knew about good tools like her father....and I sincerely thank her for that. I was at the door in 5 minutes.
There were 2 Disston saws, a 28" backsaw and a Disston rip saw, both razor sharp, with the correspondind saw sets. There was a Goodell Mfg. miter box in pristine condition, missing only 1 part.
Then there were the planes - a Bailey #7, which will compliment my grandfather's #6. Plus a #5 and a Bedrock #606.
There are also 2 saw sets. It is obvious that her father either knew or learned to sharpen saws, as both are razor sharp.
All-in-all, I am most pleased ot receive these and to be able to restore and use some vintage tools.
