What Did You Buy Today?

Where to start, I have been comfort buying for a while now. Here are my two favorites so far.

Starrett 4 piece combination square in brand new condition with case $100 on eBay.

Grizzly G1007 with power feed, DRO, and VFD. Plus two vices. $1000

Oh and I bought a box of files from the fellow with the dust collector.
The large ones around the outside are flat/rounds, bunch of rounds, square, triangular and some regular flat ones.
All are Black Diamond brand which was Nicholson in Canada.

Thanks I’m in the process of cleaning it up it was acquired in a trade of a woodworker general contractor that we work with who i’m friendly with and had been collecting dust in his shop for a while now. I didn’t know he had it and he didn’t know I would buy it but the stars aligned. I had a separate post about this a couple weeks ago and I finally got into the garage shop.

I really like this score!

There’s been a lot of really nice woodworking tools showing up in my area the last few months, and at very tempting prices. I think there’s a couple collectors downsizing so the buying market is good. My collecting days are over but I still couldn’t pass up this #78 from Stanley.

These are a really nice plane for sash work — good weight but still light enough for one handed operation, long enough to peel a good shaving, and two irons for regular or bullnose positioning. This one only has the one iron and cap but that’s ok, I left the complete one for someone who wants the intact collector item. I just want this to use.



Edit: guess I could show the other side too. Comes with depth stop, fence, and nicker.

Very nice find Frank. I love those old Stanley’s.
I have a #45 stashed away somewhere. Intact with most of the original set of cutters.

Thanks Jeff, I’ve been hoping to find a stash of files and today was my day!
Some need some tlc but the large ones look unused.

Yeah me too — #45, 55, 71, 171, 93, 193, 28, 29, ..... the list goes on. Don’t use them much anymore but still nice to have around just in case. That second #78 is still over there — two irons and caps plus the fence and rods......
