263640 Anthony Seo 2017‑10‑20 Fall 2017 Jacktown Steam Engine Show & Flea Market Day 1
Today was the beginning of the Fall 2017 Jacktown Steam Engine Show & 
Flea Market.  The show actually kicks off tomorrow but it's sometimes 
worth a trip over on Friday to do some picking. The weather was nice and 
looks to be great all weekend (unlike some years where the mud is ankle 
deep!)

This is an early morning shot of the saw mill.

Another old sawing rig, big old tractor powered cross cut saw.

There weren't many vendors set up and the one guy that I was supposed to 
hook up with, wasn't there yet.  But I got a few things to pay for the 
trip.  The best item was a Stanley Gage G4 plane, a Stanley No. 4 Type 
18 to restore, cross peen hammer, orphan chisel handle, small turnscrew, 
a hand forged ball peen hammer, and a small hewing hatchet.  Not a great 
pile but it's a start.

Tomorrow is another day so....

Tony (not looking forward to the winter months at all!)

That cross peen hammer is a beast!  Something for a real man to swing.  Way
out of my league.

I have one that's very similar to that and I really like it for what
you might use a sledghammer for, but with more control because it's
slightly more compact and has a nice short handle.  Hammerin' when a
hammer is too small and a sledge is too big.

Cheers,

Chris

Naw, just a 2 3/4 lb one.  Usually I pull the handle on those guys but 
that one is on tight and it ain't going to change the shipping.
