Lucked out with a lot of Lie Nielsen planes on Craigslist ... and was able to spend about all my birthday money in one transaction. Not the "must have" planes, but surely nice to have. Can't wait to put them to use.



Then some more Craigslist searching turned up these ... from what ended up being a rather quiet North Carolina Woodworker member. I only purchased the handle, and he tossed in the rest of the scrapers for free ... made my week.



And anything that was left ... well, Pfeil carving beginners set from Woodcraft. Seems like a nice set and maybe I can keep these out of my thumb (old story where I stabbed myself)

Re: Hand Tools Mania ... yeah, my shop.
Jeremy,
You're shop is too cramped for even these small tools. Bring them over and I'll store them and gently love them for you I need something to hold these cabinets in place anyways.

Nice score man!

Re: Hand Tools Mania ... yeah, my shop.
Bring them to the breakfast this weekend. I am sure some of us will volunteer to take them home and give them a test run. Don't want you to hurt yourself in case they are not working just right. You seem to be injury prone.

When do you find the time to do all this. Great score.

Sure I will ... just let you guys take them and I'll never see them again except in another gloat thread on North Carolina Woodworker!


When do I find the time ... well, sometimes I don't. I figure I'm half tool collector and half woodworker. One day though ... one day, I'll have the time and I just want to be ready.

Yeah, me either ... and that's why it sucked the money from my ever-shrinking wallet. Dang, this hobby is expensive.
