Since my father passed last year I've tried to spend as much free time with my mother as I can. I woke up early this morning and decided to spend the morning with her. She likes to antique so she wanted to take me to a few of her favorite shops. She bought me a nice old dovetail backsaw a few weeks ago (she paid $3) ...before that it was a rough Stanley #5c and a MINT Millers Falls #14 that she bought as a pair for $11. What's to lose I thought. Down side....its a long ride and I didn't really want to ride. She's excited so I go. She takes me to this hole-in-the-wall "thrift" shop first....the same place she picked up the saw and other planes. Karma. This is what I found....$30 for the pair. I had been looking for a #4...these are both nice, full blades, no chips or cracks on bodies or handles.
