      First Monday in Canton Texas is a must if you ever find yourself in the area. There was so much to see and not enough time or money lol.

    I used to live in Dallas. When we'd go to Canton, we'd take a cart with wheels.

    Fabulous show, thanks for the video and taking the time to film it, the footage and stills at the end were great, we just don't have anything like it in the UK, I could have spent a fortune!!! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen a child sized pickaroon. To me that makes it a very cool find.

    It is a version of a "Pickaroon" it is for moving logs around and picking up firewood rounds while standing,

      Good to know. I will do some research. Because you are into this type of tool, I will let you know. I am releasing my first complete axe restoration and hang, tomorrow morning. You might like it.

    The saw pliers/ clamp is a saw set used for setting the teeth on a saw. But it looks like it has a very wide anvil

    • @_BigLife_

      I have been told that. I wonder if it is for a old two person saw. Regardless it is a neat peace of history.

      @@_BigLife_that would be my guess. BTW. I’ve been “ lied to” all of my life. The San Jose flea market has always been called “ The Worlds Largest Flea Market” and it used to be huge. But I don’t think it was as big as Canton
      Have you heard of the 127 corridor yard sale? ( very impractical to shop,but I think very cool)

    • @_BigLife_
      @_BigLife_  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't know if Canton is the biggest, but that's how they market it. I think I have heard of the 127, I just don't know where it is.

    Nice haul buddy. That transitional plane will clean up stunning. I'll make a prediction here mate, once you fettle and hone it and plane wood with it you'll wonder why you even bother with full metal planes. They are amazing 👍👍👍
