28th April carboot

[L2wis]

I had some cracking luck at today's carboot! I got a wooden jointer plane which has cleaned up a treat for £3, nice hammer for £2 and two saw's both 50p each!!! The small tenon is a disston and the large one a spear and Jackson.

How long would you chaps recommend I soak the plane blade in vinegar for to help remove the rust?

Couple of centuries should do it

I gave it a bit of a scrub and degrease and I think it's fine now.

You've done really well there, especially with the saws - good makes and useful sizes. They both look perfectly rescuable too. This was my similar Disston after a few decades in a shed:

and this is what it looks like now:

Nothing too fancy needed - just some fine wet'n'dry on a cork block, used with white spirit or WD40.

Was the hammer bought off Mike (the very reasonable dealer) by any chance :?:

@AndyT: nice pics of your saw!

@ToolsanTat: I didn't catch the chaps name but all his stuff was VERY reasonable. Nice chap too, think he's new at Saddington, not seen him in previous years.

Nice haul Lewis - now for the fun of cleaning up and sharpening.
