I just left Tallahassee and went to Missouri for the holidays.
It is amazing, I stopped in several "antique malls" and they
actually had stuff.  I just wish I'd had more time.  I did
return with a #78 (I think, carries a craftsman iron) sans
fence and a couple of molding planes.  I'm kicking myself
for not buying the whole molding plane set, hate to break
up a set.  Occasionally you see a Disston saw around here,
but that is rare.
