Car boot haul

[Matt1245]

Managed to drag myself out of bed early on sunday and attended a local car boot sale. Managed to bag a stanley 4 1/2 (type 13) for £2.50, pretty rusty and not origional iron, gonna try scarping and filling to flatten this one, a Lloyd davis (anyone heard of them?) 8" dovetail saw for £2.50, an old 56" record sash clamp for £4.50 and a wooden toothing plane for £4.50. Pretty good day i think.

To top it all off, got given (free of charge) a sandvik 756 20" handsaw and a disston 22" on tuesday. Both in very good condition.

Do have a surface plate, or sheet of thick glass? I have some variations in my process that might interest you.

Not telling :lol:

It was you site that that got me thinking about the filing, but unfortunatly i don't have a surface plate, and the only glass i have is 2 3mm pieces laminated together. Was thinking about seeing how much it would cost to have someone surface grind it for me if it's bad after i clean the rust off.
