I helped a friend price some tools for an upcoming estate sale today, and here’s what I picked up for myself.
Note: I realized just now that I mistakenly used “hordes” instead of “hoards” in my on-screen notes. Not as heinous as mixing up “there, they’re, their”, but nonetheless, I have brought same upon my bloodline.

We had a fun day of antique tool hunting. Can't wait to see your first violin build.

Hi Brian, I replied to your comment on my video but don't know if you can see it since I had problems with comments. Anyway I'm looking foward to seeing what you do with all those tools!

On a shamless self promotion note.... come see us at the Chisholm Trail Outdoor Museum in Cleburne Texas. You can see me and my apprentices make things, Learn about some history, and have a good time. We have a RU-vid channel called CTOM Smiths where you can see us make things as well

Nice finds! And, quite kind of you to tell those people the value of the tools they had. I look forward to that instrument build video you mentioned. Are the any 'must have' violin making tools you're still hunting for?

I felt it was just the right thing to do. On paper, I could’ve grabbed that Bedrock Jack plane and given them $20 for it and they would’ve been none the wiser, but in real life, I have to look at myself in the mirror. Lowballing like that would’ve been downright grave-robbing. I’d love to have that sweet Bedrock but I already have a Stanley #6 that’ll do just fine for jointing edges for the top and back plates to be glued. I’m gonna have to buy gear at the time I need it for the build to proceed. After the plates are glued, what I really need is a good variety of gouges to carve the archings of the top and back plates, as well as detail work on the scroll. I’ll need different widths and sweeps. On gouges, sweep refers to how pronounced the curvature is on the cutting edge. I need to be able to make shallow and deep cuts, and everywhere in between. I’d really hoped there would be more gouges available to pick through, but all told, I think I did OK. Definitely a worthwhile day trip!
