Tool Picking #2: Estate Sale Weekend

It’s been a nice weekend, so far, in Northeast Alabama. The weather is nice and there is an estate sale a short distance from my house.

I could not go to the first day of the sale on Friday, so my Dad scoped out the tools for me. He picked up a couple planes for me. I have not seen them yet, so I will have to add that pic later. He did tell me he picked a Stanley 110 and a Worth jack plane.

Saturday morning, I went to the sale and grabbed a hand full of nice toys.

- One Stanley socket chisel
- Two Craftsman socket chisels
- Stanley torpedo level
- Rosewood & Brass try square
- Clamp-on Mini Vise

I left a few things that I thought were overpriced. Sunday is the last day and anything remaining is 50% or less. So there may be more pictures added to this pick.

It was a slow picking Saturday, but that gave me some time in the shop to work on a few projects. Finally got back on my Walnut natural edged table. Here is the dry fit. Now to sanding and finishing.

Thanks for letting me share.
