Tools and Tool Buying

[smallpatch1]

For Jimmie Carter and anyone else looking for old planes.

 Actually last week was the time for this guys sale but I wasn't

 here to tell anyone .

  He has this old tool sale once a year in Garland, Tx and has

had it for 26 years or so. And I think a few more guys have joined

in the sale also. After thinking about the amount of

years I might be all wrong but I do remember it has been going

 on for a long long time.

    Nothing but  lots  and lots of old tools and there must have

 been 100 planes  or more and tools you ain't never seen before.

     About the only place I could find it advertised was on Craigs List

and it appeared on  Nov. 13th.  There was a www site to visit but

 now checking  Craigs List all I can find on that date is 2 pictures

 of that sale.

   For anyone collecting you need to find this sale next year.

 I might can find his name  and address if I look hard enough if

 anyone is interested.

Hey, I haven't been on much lately, I waited for things to get sorted out, cookies to cook and things to align and things look better here now, so I'll visit more often.  As my post # over there reflects, I am a relative newcomer here ;-]

I'm wondering where "old tools & machinery" will fall in here on the topics list?  Keeping it on the "off topic" page is O.K. with me, just wondering what you may know or have read re that subject?  Old planes, I do like them myself and have just sent a pair of #7s off to be rejappaned.  I'm currently working on a #5 that shows a lot of promise.

Hey, guys.

I scooted this from the OT board to the TOOLS board - where this kind of thing now should live.   Old tools, new tools, broken tools, whatsit's... it's all good and it's all for the Tools board now.

Have a good'un.

Absolutely, we do tools, all tools.  I have been to the Two Old Grouches tool sale in Garland a few times.  They generally do it a couple of times a year.
