I'm passing this along in case other Galoots have such a place near them...
We have a ReStore which is associated with Habitat for Humanity. I had seen
the store for quite some time but had never gone in until a coworker told
me I should go and that there was a lot of great stuff there. She had
purchased a couple of vintage doors there.

I'm not terribly "up" on exactly how the ReStore works, but I think it is
basically a "Goodwill" for home improvement donations... everything from
plumbing parts to doors to tile, to cabinets, countertops. There are some
things new in boxes. The prices range from quite reasonable to almost
ridiculously inexpensive. I imagine that any profits are put back into
Habitat for Humanity.

I had found a nice countertop made to fit into a corner a couple of weeks
ago and so decided to pop in again this past weekend. In the last aisle,
before I was going to leave the store empty-handed, I was stopped in my
tracks by a beautiful, complete Stanley 358 Mitre Box with the original
Atkins made saw with the Stanley etch. I determined that it wasn't a
terribly vintage example, as I could see the Stanley blue paint on the
legs, but it otherwise doesn't look any different from any other example
I've seen. And, priced at $15 for the set, it had to follow me home.
