Shopping?

     Tam and I spend mid-day yesterday wandering through the vast and wonderful Midland Arts & Antiques Market, located in an old factory just off Downtown:
      Here's a preview of some of the items I found -- I hope to have more of a write-up later, on Retrotechnologist!
     The top photos show an uncommon tool.

Sharpening some saws, are we?

I've got a bunch - and a handmade jointer for them.Ant a wicked case of envy.

NJT: I though this gadget was to do the edges of scrapers!

It will do both. What that tool is for is to joint the saw teeth to get them all to the same height.
But I would also use it to sharpen scrapers (probably made from saw blades that were too far gone to save). Nice tool.

I wonder what Chinese city the sashes and doors are made in now.
