Sheer Luck...

I have collected
woodworking tools for over 30 years and am always on the lookout
for yard sales, lawn sales, and any person who can direct to old
tools. In my travel through Amenia, NY as a salesman, I drove by
a home with assorted items in the driveway and a small sign
stating “Garage Sale”. Quickly turning around, I pulled in the
drive and found the homeowner, an elderly gentleman in a
wheelchair talking to several people about his items for sale.
Looking over a
collection of boxes, I saw nothing of promise in the way of
tools. The homeowner came wheeling over and asked what I was
looking for. Any collector worth his salt has a short list of
tools he or she is searching for and I was looking for a
Coachmaker’s traveler for measuring the circumference of wagon
and carriage wheels for the iron band.
