I been wanting the earlier leaded leg accessories, well I actually have the saw but wanted the other two for a set.  I also pined for the No. 65 Tool Shop but figured I never get one, they seem pretty rare.  Some how a No. 65 came up on eBay as a Buy Now - I didn't even try to haggle with a offer, I just straight out bought it!

So I killed two birds with one stone, I have a full set of leaded leg accessories & the Tool Shop :-)

Nice workshop.

I certainly think so and at $156 to my mailbox, I think it is a stellar deal (I felt like I was stealing it from the seller).  I have a feeling the Tool Shop is worth a lot more but its hard to tell as I haven't seen another one come up in the time I have been seriously looking at Weeden's to buy.  I am thinking at least double but I am not a good judge of the worth of most of the items I have.  As they say, one man's junk is another mans treasure ;-)

Sounds like a really LUCKY Score of a very cool workshop you made there Richard!

Well done that!!!

Ya, I telling myself perhaps this Tool Shop will help offset all those boats I just won LOL! 

But seriously, I have gotten really lucky on a lot of items and overall I think I am coming ahead.  Then measuring the fun working on & playing with these items is not something I can put a valve on.  I love learning about the these old toys too, I love researching and find old information.  I often think about the whole process, from the people that made these toys, to where they were sold, the parents that bought them with what little money they had and the kids that sat down a played with them.  Then my biggest hope is somehow these items I have make it another 100+ years to someone else that will enjoy them and their history.

Anyone else around here have this Weeden Tool Shop?  My guess is Charlie and @Nick has one

Nice workshop.
