Car boot finds

[Zed]

I decided to cycle down early this am, nothing much there  but i picked up these pliers for £2, like i really need more pliers  but i liked the gold 

[Sparky415]

You can't have too many pairs of pliers 


This morning I picked up...
A couple of tobacco tins, one containing assorted pop rivets the other some slip stones (small oil stones)
A 1 ¾ lb Spear and Jackson Ax head
A small pair of 'Footprints' (in vinegar at the moment  )
And another pair of Footprint chisels (same exact size as the last pair I bought  )

Not one SAK or knife 

[Zed]

another axe head tony    i nearly had a whole axe for you but the guy decided to keep it    odd bloke 

well me and coral rode to another booty and i picked up 2 more pliers,a cool looking french inox cheese knife    and a pair of size 8 meindl walking boots in really good conditoin for £4 i spent a total of £6.70p  sometimes bootys can be a bargain

You got yourself some bargains there Mate, those boots look great for 4quid 

And what an odd looking knife 

[Gareth]

The Miendl boots for £4 are a bargain!   Big question is though; the boots might be size 8, but are you?

very odd tony and no edge on it    although with a bit of modding would go nicely in with my kukri

[Sparky415]

A Karda in the making? 

[Zed]

A Karda in the making? 

I think so tony as i wouldnt use a  chakmak to sharpen my kuk with, although will be too busy to get it done for a little while  but will be a fun project, 

[Zed]

found a few bits today, 



the saw cleaned up a treat and cuts like no ones buisness 



my wife said did i really need anymore pliers     

[Sparky415]

That folding saw looks good Mate!
Those plasterboard saws are not bad I have one a bit like that somewhere

Tell her I said (Mr T voice) 'woman you can't have too many pairs of pliers!'

Women 

Yep I like that saw, good score 


I had a great day today, went to two Booty's 

A cutlery canteen (think that's the right word    ) it a bit tatty inside but....
5 x G clamps in various states of repair
A London pattern screwdriver
3 file handles and a floor bolster
Another axe I axeidentally bought  (there's a small one in the freezer aswell    )
A few more files and 3 centerpunches
3 x steel rules, all imperial, 1 is a 2' folder (I'm blaming Blitzwing     )

On top is
An Eclipse padsaw handle (takes hack-saw blades)
A 'multi' key for Electricians etc
A gardeners pouch for secateurs etc

Aaaaand      2 x BAKs one from 1952 and one might not be an actual BAK, still soaking at the moment



Inside (inc missing side handle)

[David]

Reckon that is a great good haul there Tony!

[Zed]

very nice tony, love that box,and 2 BAK's    you did well my friend 

[Sparky415]

Thanks Guys, I'm really pleased with my haul  but the box smells funny 

Reckon that is a great good haul there Tony!

It was quite heavy David, she nearly couldn't carry it all 

I did go over the top a little as I don't really need another Axe  ..... or the steel rules ummm  or any more centre punches etc etc

I made a mistake the screwdriver is called 'perfect handle pattern screwdriver'
The London pattern is different

1 Wenger Dynasty 65mm interlock Esquire
1 used but not abused ribbed Cadet 2 (for her pleasure  )
1 excellent condition Squirt E4

... and lastly...

1 gently used Leatherman PST, with cap crimper, stainless steel finish!
