Car boot finds

[Sparky415]

   Oi!  ….....I'm only going to give it a gentle polish 

[MultiMat]

Tony that hammer reminds me of the Aussie made BAK I sent Dennis  .




Not sure if this was the 3rd or 6th WD40 bath I gave it 

It came up kinda OK  , a lot of work for something that should of been given the last rights  .


Dennis likes tools with 'history' I think that Whittingslowe had just a little too much of a past 

Now get in that cold room/shed & get chipping on that hammer  Tony 

[Sparky415]

I don't think its that bad Mat, its the handle that will take the time when I can decide what to do with it 

[Farmman]

First sortie of the season. Will report back later.

[Gareth]

First sortie of the season. Will report back later.

A reconnaissance for the Easter weekend eh?  Best of luck.

[Neil]

First of the season for me too.  Managed two this morning. The second with family in tow as the boys like to ride on the model steam trains they have running around the edge of the field.

A few old bits of electronics and a few even older tools.  No SAKs or knives though.

[Sparky415]

   what tools Mate?

[Farmman]

Likewise Neil. There was a few sheffield slippies, but not really my thing. Picked up a new front wheel for my bike.

[Neil]

   what tools Mate?

Large bolt

Sorry to hear that Mate, we are all having car problems at the moment 

[Neil]

We're all trying to keep them on the road longer than we used to   

Back on track.  I've got a cool little Rabone Chesterman flexible mini rule from today's outing.  I wish they still made them, they'd sell like hot cakes to the maxpedition pocket stuffing members

[J-sews]

Chesterman? Is it like the little folding-section one you sent me awhile back?   <rummaging around looking for it now>

[Neil]

Same company but this is just a single piece.  Its all bendy and flexible and thin enough to use as a bookmark in a notebook.  Most importantly for me it has metric measurements which a lot of the old tools don't.

[Sparky415]

Not a SAK in sight this morning but I did get a nice woodworking vice that's missing its handle 
and some more woodworm to add to the collection

I finally got around to making a new handle for my Marples (6" wide) woodworking vice today

whats wrong with a big screwdriver?

Because if I'm using the big screwdriver as a vice handle I have nothing to use as a chisel

[Sparky415]

I think I'm going to borrow some of Gareths tools 

Good luck Paul, and don't spend too much while you are trying to sell

Thanks Mate its a bit of 'recycled' printer 

I wasn't going to make any jaws for it..... Or I could trade it with someone 

[Neil]

Already got one... or two

[Sparky415]

I probably shouldn't mention my Ax head interlock adjusting apparatus, there may be mickey taking... I should wait until the meet

Tony you could lock the vise pull the screwdriver out & then chisel away 
ALTHOUGH if you break your multichisel that leaves the work locked in the vise  you could use a sledge hammer to extract the piece of work but there is the issue of the sledge hammer being used as structural support (trust me I have seen photos of Tony's workshop  )

I probably shouldn't mention my Ax head interlock adjusting apparatus, there may be mickey taking... I should wait until the meet 

Tony I hope you have the patent process underway 
'Ax head interlock adjusting apparatus'

Hey, a Sledge hammer is just a little anvil on the end of a long stick

Cheers tony, im just going through all my stuff now to take,

Well made enough cash for petrol (if we can buy it lol) for our holiday so sorted, while there i had a look around and found this fake MOP handled jowika of northern ireland pocket knife for £2  needs a good clean up but a nice solid old knife, 



some info,
Jowika Stahwlarenfabrik Eugen Weber & Altenbach KG was the full name of this German mfr of low-end mass market cutlery. It began prior to 1928 under the name Kleinwefers; became Jowika some time prior to 1939.

Jowika opened a branch factory in Listowel, Ireland, in 1960, which was acquired by Imperial Schrade in 1978. Closed about a year and a half before Schrade closed.

Finally a British church group organised a car boot sale near me and I went to it, yesterday.

Al they had was books and children’s toys... no tools, no knives...
