I love estate sales!

I can't say I've ever found any SS items at estate sales around these parts, much less a Pro Planer - great score. I did buy a Festool Domino joiner for $40 at an estate sale a year or so ago...I still can't get over that deal...it was enough to have me hooked on estate sales for life.

Yes, it's a real bell, yes it did ring! The fun part was getting that sucker up there.

Very nice score on the planer! Beautiful shop building, too.
I see you moved the barber poles for the wedding. Bride's request?
When I saw the first shop picture, I thought "Barber School".

Funny that you should say that Gene. Meet my new restoration project, also from this weekend's estate sales

Man, that's going to be a beautiful restoration! I've seen a few of those restored on TV. Older barber chairs are works of art and I can't think of a more comfortable seat.
Please keep us apprised of your progress. Can't wait to see pictures.
