I took a family vacation to Maine and Massachusetts a few weeks back. Of course I had to do a little tool shopping while I was there. The tool hunting is pretty easy in the northeast And i passed by quite a few places where I could have spent hours.
Stopped by the Lie Nielsen tool works an played with some nice tools.
The folks there were very nice and tolerated my loitering very patiently. I feel a lot better about parting with my money when it goes to people that care.
I found a nice turn of the century d7 in an old barn turned antique store for $4. I had to take the handle off to get it in my suitcase.
It cleaned up nice and is as sharp as new. I love the handle on this saw, and its the first one I found like it.
We also got a chance to visit Plymouth plantation and I got to see their hand tool craft shop. The craftsman wasn't there but I saw some of his work in the gift store. Very inspiring.
My wife is great for letting my hobby eat up some of our trip, so I've promised some lobster float shaped birdhouses.
