Okay, I put up the bench pictures this morning before work, and threw a few
others up just now.
* Saw till and brace storage:

L-R, Buck Bros. 1/4" paring chisel, which arrived too late for this project,
3/8" Buck Bros with rhododendron handle, Ward 5/16" firmer (looked NOS) and
an unnamed 3/8" firmer, both with cocobolo handles I made last week. 3/8"
Stanley with some kind of fruitwood handle, 1" Chipaway with spalted cherry,
1-1/4" Swan that takes a beautiful edge, and grandpa's 1-3/4" Pexto.
Fleabay box lots of chisels have forced me to come up with a handle that I
can tolerate, and the tapered octagon is winning so far.

* The latest 3 arrivals to fill said till:

Top to bottom:
1) Disston #7, 26" 7 pt rip (barely used, not gloatable price).
2) Disston D12, 26" 11 pt, sans nib, $37 including shipping on the bay,
which is a gloat these days. The top horn was gone, so I made one from
cherry. A bit of straightening with boiling water, and it's a great user.
3) Bottom is a Disston #7 28" 4-1/2 pt, perfectly straight but a bit dark.
The seller threw in a Disston apple-toted table saw with that one, which
was a nice bonus, along with a couple of replacement totes he'd made.
It was a good deal for a coarse rip with a mostly-full plate.
Unfortunately I've kind of maxed out the till, though I think I could
squeeze in another couple of backsaws if they start reproducing too.
regards,
Adam
