Nice job on the bedrock!

-- Sawdust and shavings are therapeutic

Thanks for the compliments. I started a blog about my journey through the japanning process. Hopefully it will be informative and helpful to some others. If you have other questions as I go through the series, feel free to ask on those threads.

Nice JayT and thanks.

While searching for rust/antiques on my way home from my road trip to Iowa, I came across a place in Walnut, Iowa called Blum Tools. It looked really intriguing but it was Sunday and the place was closed, so I was really bummed out. I’m even more bummed out now that I checked out his website tonight. Check it out, some pretty sexy looking custom planes.

Mos, Saw this guy and thought of you, bit pricey but looks like an upgrade from the workmate. : )

Oh man, check out those portable benches! lol

Nice Find Lucas, too bad they weren’t open, but were you traveling alone? That place looks like it could be the sort of place I’d spend hours…

Ha, Lucas, looks like you snuck in while I was typing/texting to the girlie lol

I must admit, it is a little tempting… if I had the spare cash…

Roundie rock, JayT. Awesome.

Awesome work on the bedrock JayT!

Jay, thanks for sharing your blog, for sharing your ‘rock photos, AND for getting the man boobs off the page!

Johnny – a straight razor shave is where it’s at! I have a barber local to me who offers strait razor shaves and I try to get in there to get one from her at least once a month.

Picked up a Bedrock 608 from a Craigslist post. Cleaned it up. Replaced blade and chipbreaker with a Veritas set. New tote and knob and some fresh paint.

Richard- That sounds like a good plan :-) I did pop into a local ‘Old Man’s’ Barbers to chat to the guys. They were very helpful and told me to come back if I had any questions or needed any tips, which was nice of them! Other people have simply told me not to try it myself….... What’s the worst that could happen?? :-)

CL-You guys are SOooo lucky you can pick up Bedrocks so easily & cheaply. We have to pay through the nose here in the UK. Lovely user you have there- well done that man!

Cheers
John

CL, The 608 looks great, should serve you well.

-- Lucas, "Someday woodworks will be my real job, until then, there's this http://www.melbrownfarmsupply.com"

OK, as promised. Let’s get this thing started. Those interested, PM me. This should be in the $1000’ish range with irons. Rich, but I’m sure here has been planning a left nut for one.

Miller’s w/ all irons.

This is gonna be fun…. :D

If you are into feeding frenzies. I’m not.

-- I hate being bipolar. It's awesome! :^ ) ^:

Look through these really hard and discuss.

That’s all for today, but I can do this all month.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

I am NOT brokering these tools, just trying to put lovers of tools in touch with a seller that’d rather go LJ than Ebay. I am simply a conduit and will NEVER accept ANY compensation. Not a penny. My word.

Crap, one or two more but this one may be mine. Full set Bartons.
.

45/50/55 irons, boxed. Tons of them

I’m not sure how to interpret that comment (serious). I’ll post a few here and there, just to see if anyone’s interested.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

No type study, but its how I found it. 3 patents, large brass iron adjuster, low knob, SW iron. That makes it a 11, 12,15 or something like that. But it works well and its for sale. New tote, new paint, sharpened etc.

Maybe go to a #4 nipple on lysdexic’s bottle Al.

I was referring to the fun of looking at/viewing tool porn, not a frenzy.

Another beauty Don.

-- ~Tony

I’d love the Miller’s, but I’m not even gonna bother to PM. Unless I find one aty a yard sale for $25, I’ll probably never own one.

I see some without any knobs or totes. Those I may be able to afford.

Is that an entire box of carpenter rules?

-- ~Tony

I don’t know WHAT’S all there, Tony. If you see something you like, let me know.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

If you see something you like, let me know

The only thing I see I don’t like is that wooden miter box!!

10-4 Al. I was just marveling at the abundance really.

-- ~Tony

Anthony, described as a “full box”. He’s going to get some more pics together.
Don, did you see the other boxes in your saw thread?
.
Don, that’s a nice five.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

Al…
...can I come over…and…just touch some of that porn?
.

-- tr ...see one, do one, teach one...

Lol, Terry, you could BUT IT’S NOT MINE! I’d kill for that collection.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

I’d love to just see it in person as the whole collection before it gets parted out everywhere.

-- In the end, when your life flashes before your eyes, will you like what you see?

^so would I, Matt. We’re just not close geographically. I don’t trust myself in situations like that anyway.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

I would even pay admission fees. lol i could trust myself since i wouldnt have any money with me (i simply don’t have any right now) although there might be some rust inducing drool happening.

-- In the end, when your life flashes before your eyes, will you like what you see?

I made a sweet purchase (will post when complete). I’ve got my own eyes on moulders and 45/50 irons. I’ve got massive landscaping bills right now (I know that sounds weak) and I’ve bought a lot of guns lately. I know what you mean.

I’m digging the Old Crow Medicine Show bluegrass. Love bluegrass. Thanks for posting that Al.

-1 on Mantitties.

Andy, Normans cabinet it amazing! Favorite’ed! Holly shiit that’s nice.

Talcum poder clogs up cuts pretty good. Helps stop the bleeding.

Cuban coffee for me, like expresso but stronger. I make it on my old school itallian stove top percolator.

I’m interested in the straight razors, I like that they are not disposable, and since we all are pretty good at sharpening, sounds like a good fit. I’ll need to learn more.

Wow Al, hell of a collection there. How much for that DT saw?

I’ll ask.

I didn’t see a Preston spoke! Where is it? I already bought the Clifton if that’s what you’re seeing.
