>I dropped by and met Jim as well, sorry no plaid shirt this time. I got a nice 605 bedrock for 50.00 and and 18 starrett rule. I was surprised at how many different tools there were. This is my first time going so I guess I didnt really know what to expect.

I was in Pickerington yesterday and didn't know anything about this. Where I can I find out when these meetings are held?

>Greg,

Ohio Tool Collectors have four meetings a year that move around the state of Ohio. The winter meeting has been in Pickerington for the last four years or so. The best way to find out where the meetings will be is to join the club( I think the annual dues are $15.00), but they are also listed on their website. The website is pretty basic and can be found at:

I had a good time on Sunday, too. It was nice to meet Jay and Ray and look at some tools. I was satisfied with what I bought, too. I got an Ohio Tool #4 smoother, a Sandusky 1/2" dado plane, a Stanley 42x sawset and, best of all, a Star Tool Co. boxwood marking gage all for $41.00. The thing that is the most fun about these events is meeting and talking to other people that are as interested in hand tools as yourself.
