>for only $8 ya; done good. Fiqures out to a little over $1 each. while you won't have to fight off any collectors, they all look like they'll be good users.
Read an article today in the Oct. '04 issue of Popular Woodworking where a fellow bought 109 tools for $99.55, and when sold at a silent auction they brought $650!! You gonna make a run for the record? ;~)

I hope not

>For the most part i only buy what i have a need for or can or will use, but if somebody sticks something in front of me for a cheap price......hehe you know what i do. It always gets SWMBO when i bring a tool home and she see's me use it less than 24 hours later,and then says "you should have two of them"..... lmao
That $99 tool deal,imo,is possible,just takes the time to rust hunt.
Dennis, who is going to flea market tomorrow just in case is something i need.........lmao
that stone....
Todd Hughes
>is the type tradtionaly used in sharpening axes and hatchets.Also ones like it were carried in the web sheath for the WWII military "Woodsman Pal" machette knife and these will be marked woodsmen pal. Don't see to many of these round shapening stones....Todd
Re: that stone....
Dale Stansbery
>I have a 2 wheel grinder that I picked up at auction this sumer that also has a slow speed geared round lipped plate that sits horizontally on the top that takes a 4" round stone (no center hole). I haven't cleaned the whole thing up yet, but the stone is dual grit, and both sides are pretty fine. I subsequently picked up another nearly identical stone a few weeks later for a replacement when I drop the first one. It looks like a good system to get a blade ready for final honing.
Re: that stone....interestsing
Dennis
>Like Todd said they make great stone for axe's and such, but the i have had for years is 3" and both grits are courser that this 4" one i picked up. Makes me wonder if this is for a grinder,like what Dale has. The one i just picked has no markings on it other than couple really tiny small chips don't think it ever was used.
