StanleyFest on the floor!!!

>I was cleaning out the shop last night and have some advice for those thinking the same--DON'T DO IT! I bumped into a table and knocked over my plane box. Out they dumped onto the cement floor with a WHUMP. The #55 blades all came out of their boxes. Plow planes were everywhere, #66s in the dust. It took about 45 min to clean everything up. Lucky for me that most of them fell into a pile of sawdust. There were a few bumps and scrapes, but the only damage I can see is a cracked tote on my favorite #7 Craftsman. Well, there goes another $5.00!!!
