264098 "Brent Parkin" <brent@e...> 2017‑11‑28 What's On Your Bench
Seems like I am always late to the party with these things.  But here is
what is on my bench!!

Currently I'm building myself a half back saw.  Just because I like the look
of them.  :)

 

Along with it is a gloat.  I recently found out about a fellow that closed
his sharpening business 12 years ago and was now selling his equipment.  I
spoke to him about his listed Foley retoother.  Turns out he had two of
them.  The one that was in use in the shop and a spare unit in case the main
one broke down.  When I arrived to see it, the spare was brand new in its
original box having never been used!!!  He gave me 14 ratchet bars and 12
carriers.  I pitched him a fair price based on what I have seen retoothers
sell for and we both ended the day happy campers.

 

Merry Christmas everyone!!
