Now I Have Something To Take A Bead On

I had a pleasant surprise this morning. The postman arrived with a little package for me; the Stanley #66 I purchased last week on eBay.

Looking at this thing, I find it a bit unbelievable that it could have been made at the beginning of this configurations manufacturing run, which would be 1909. If it was, the guy who bought it brought it home and put it in his wifes underwear drawer where it sat until momandpopcybershop scooped it to sell on eBay. It is just way too clean, but it is exactly as momandpop described it; very clean and very complete. Heck, even the washer under the thumbscrew that holds the fences on is there.

Im really pleased to have it. Im starting a new chisel rack next week and have included some reeding in the design. In a couple of weeks we will see what this thing is made of.

Peace,

Mitchell
