    Are we on the verge of a miter box trend?
    Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

    How to turn a junk late model 9-1/2 that's already been raided for parts into a collectors piece...

    He has a "Make an offer" on it; I'd suggest $5 providing he covers the postage.

    Hmm, you'd need a pretty flexible wrist to use that one anywhere below head-height...

    It's interesting to ponder the history of some of these monster tools..

    Default Ebay Droppings Thread.

    The mitre box was $8k plus.
    Am I right or am I seeing things.

    The reason I ask manly is if Sally my partner in crime sees this there will be another one for sale at $8k plus.
    With free world wide shipping lol

    Until you turned up this little jewel (box) I had thought this listing was a little extreme:

    Railroad Bridge Building Carpenters Complete Tool Kit | eBay

    I went looking for it earlier, but couldn't find it until today: Some pix.

    Railroad toolbox.jpgRailroad toolbox 2.jpgRailroad toolbox 3.jpgRailroad toolbox 4.jpg

    and, and, and...... It includes a mitre box

    Railroad toolbox 5.jpg

    Bargain at US$7,895.00; Even if it isn't painted.

    some sellers must have a sense of humour.
    I've worked with bridge and wharf carpenters -- no way would most of those tools find a place on any timber bridge build I've been involved with.

    I have purchased in the past some CDs of old books on Ebay. Some have been interesting tending towards enlightening, if you are excited by saw catalogues and the like.

    When I saw this one I was immediately attracted to it.

    B.T.B.Manual.jpg

    Of course a picture of the Wenzloff's Kenyon saws was always going to suck me right in.

    Treatise on The Care of Saws and Knives B T and B Manual 300 Pages on CD | eBay

    Initially I was wary as it was only a single book whereas in the past I have purchased discs that had fifteen or twenty books on them, admittedly with a lot of repetition. For some reason I went looking for this book on the net and I found it available free of charge:

    https://archive.org/details/btbmanualtreatis00baldrich

    You can read the whole lot for free! However there is a catch. There are no Wenzloff saws, there are no Kenyon saws: In fact there are no handsaws at all .
