Yabutt: I know that you are filling up a matrix of possible tools.
Your collectoris is stimulated by a proximity to those tools which are
not occupying spaces in the matrix.
My lust is driven by results oriented phenomena that may fit into the
X - Y parametric, regarding cost and benefit.
You, I must say, although I run the risk of overstating the obvious,
are a true bottomfeeder - and your buy button will not be triggered by
something that is out of spec, regarding a pure price point, without
regard to the geography that might need to be gobbled up in the
pursuit of the snipe.
I, however, do not enjoy this malaise, and have personal snipes that
fit into categories that are driven by real world considerations, such
as the ability to replicate a profile that is not available in
traditional Delta driven tooling.
And so, my collectoris is currently tingled by a profile plane that
replicates the exact profile of a certain Goddard-Townsend cornice
mould (sic) which I intend to use in faithful replication of a certain
pediment, which entitles me to certain lordly airs, regarding you -
and I'm sure that you see the truth of this - on its face...
(at this point, the dialogue disintegrates into mumblings.)

I'm going to be antiquing my way up the E coast here in a few
days, anything you want me to keep my eyes open for? Hit me back
channel if you want to talk about it, and I'll give you a cell

Too bad you couldn't make it to our annual auction/tool
show/meeting in Damascus, MD last weekend. PL and MJD were there,
the Leamys were there with his gorgeous planes, so were about a
gazillion other purveyors of old arn. Enjoy the hunt, I always
do.

Provenance is the capitol of Row Disland. Mostly Italian and yes, they have

I missed the lengendary Oliver lathe, of the mostly true "Dead Man's

Patriarch,
who's been getting more Neander stuff lately, but trying to fit a "good

Provenance = owned by a famous or infamous person, and provable by (usually
forged) documentation, to increase the price. See PBS' "Antiques
Roadshow", or BBC's "LoveJoy".
"This cheesey lathe was owned by Tom Watson, he of Wreck fame and fortune,
and also possibly the founder of a once-great computing monopoly. Bidding
starts at $2800."

See, that's the semi-believeable part for the gullible. Sounds like it
might be true.
So maybe you're not so gullible. I bet you don't have any Scott Phillips'
signature Gross Stabil PC2 clamps, either.

Damn Tom, you shoulda driven in for the annual Wooddorker's
Show and Sunday morning follow up at the St. Frances VFW
Hall old tools sale. There were Bedrocks by the butt load.
Of course bottom feeder pricing was no where to be found on
those though you could get yourself set up with a Starrett
or a Lufkin combo square for most of the time from $20 to
$30.
Me? I bought a Stanley No. 299 to go with it's big brother
the No. 199. I'm a sucker for a good fixed blade utility
knife or maybe it's the fleur-de-lis and checkered handles.
sigh...
