I went to the tool sale tonight, Members night from 6 to 8.30 and scored some more tools . I do have TAS and I'm happy about it :) .Space is my problem.
Some good value I think as well.


I got one of those pipe clamps I mentiond here a while back on Martins Uke thread $10 [ sorry Martin I should not have polluted your thread with such an ugly piece of crap ]
I have been thinking of converting it to press fret wire on to fret boards with.


Glue pot $8, 5 nail punches $4, 2 spoke shaves $20, collectable saw $18
Oil stone $2, tool for anvil $10 and T screw driver $1

The Gun metal [ brass] smoothing plane was $ 200 it has it's original parallel iron.

The three cast iron handles were $2 to $3 each and are for attaching to the end of a file. never tried them before.
