While driving home with the LOML, I saw a YARD SALE sign near home and said ' nah ' it was later afternoon.
But, I did a U turn and went in.
The fellow greeted me and I asked if he had any old tools or axe heads; he said there was a box over there that may have something.
LO and behold, an old Mathieson infill was sitting there. Grabbed it, a weird Japanese tool ( another thread ) and a tack hammer.
The straight sided smoother with Mathieson faintly stamped upside down in the rosewood bun has a 2-1/4" blade, 3/16" tapered , James Howarth Cast Steel, a Mathieson chip breaker, and a de laminated tote, but the first infill I have ever found in the wild.
A Mr. Dewar owned this at one point; though a bit rusty and rough, I am pretty confident it can be revived.
Any hints to getting the tote off for a refurb?
The bun is perfect, the bed looks real good.
BTW, ten bucks ( Canadian ) for all three. Sorry, but I suck!
