Default Great Yard Sale Find

Passed a yard sale Saturday, ( fortunately for me the Mrs. wasn't with me) and I saw a couple of old tools that caught my eye. One turned out to be a 1935 Ward's Powr-Kraft Scroll Saw. They were wrapping up the sale, and wanted to get rid of it, so I thought I would help them out. It looks great, and best of all it still runs!

I think this may be a fun project to play with in the future if I get the time. I don't know if I will clean it up the way it is, or restore it 100%. I doubt it is very rare.

I also snagged a craftsman jointer that I believe dates back to 1956, and a beautiful B & D all-aluminum drill.

All that for $20.
