    Default Sunday Market find

    I found this shoulder plane in a Sunday market in Nagoya for 1500 yen - about $19AU. Aside from this there were several boxes of Japanese style moulding planes, and a few old Japanese style rip saws in well-used condition.

    Gomi shopping??

    Picked up most of my Pentax camera lenses second hand in Japan. Its a great place for buying second hand.....things go out of fashion so quickly and there seems to be this stigma about buying second hand.

    The plane looks very nice. Even if some of the tools are a bit worn theyre still lovely to look at.

    My father in law runs a second hand business up in northern Japan. He buys second hand stuff off the locals for nicks and then sells it to the Russian sailors who drop in with the joint venture fishing fleets.
