Yet another miter box

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA


>I've been doing a lot of metal recycling, haz mat recycling, etc., at our local dump, and hit some interesting finds in the section called, cutely, "Recycletown." This is nowhere close to Kevin French's dump - for one thing, they make you pay for the goodies - but kind of nice. I paid $5 today for an older Stanley miter box of the two-posts type, with what looks at quick glance like a Disston saw with the older, nicely-shaped handle in straight, sharp, not too rusty condition.

Of course, this brings my miter box stash up to five...and I don't even have enough room in my shop to have one set up permanently.

>earlier in the week, I picked up a treadle sewing machine flywheel/pulley, pitman arm, and frame assembly, for $1. Who knows what that'll be - footpowered something, some time.
