Beautiful day in Northeast Alabama to do a little tool picking.
First stop, gathered 4 pipe clamps, 8 corner clamps, froe, Wilkinson folding drawknife, Disston one-man crosscut saw, and 10 woodworking books. One of the books was about colecting old tools. LOL
Walked away from this sale only $60 lighter, in the pocket.
At the second stop was only about a block away from first. I spotted this Disston D-8 Swayback. Picked it up, had it in my hand while looking at other things, when I heard a voice from across the yard: ”I’ll take $2 for that saw.” Well, all right.
All said, the trip cost me $62. Now, I definately need to build a sawtill.
Okay thank for looking and reading my ramblings.

Nice! I really like the folding draw knife. Where in North East Alabama are you? I lived in Calhoun County for many years. Every been to Mountian Top or Collinsville trade days looking for tools?

Roz: I live in Calhoun County. These sales were in Chocolocco, near White Plains.
What part of L.A. are you in? I lived in Dothan from 2000 – 2005.
