Car boot finds

[Sparky415]

   ^ 

Love the drill to the right. It looks NEW.

I think we call them a 'Hand Brace' or a 'Brace and Bit' (with the drill bit)
Its a British made 'Comet No 110'
I bought it from a lovely old lady selling off her deceased husbands tools, all the tools were in good used condition, I think he might have died in his workshop 

Tony not the last sale  .

Do they now head in doors/under cover 

Some of them carry on in car parks and old airfields Mat...... I might just have to follow 

[MultiMat]

That is a relief Tony it would be disastrous for the local vinegar suppliers & I would hate for you too go into rust withdraws  .

I do look forward to seeing your weekly haul     

[Sparky415]

Think I have a big enough pile of rust to keep me busy well in to 2015

Well mate, if you need a nice piece of seasoned ash to hang those bits just let me know.
I've cut two pieces, more then enough for 4 hatches. When it's fixed I'm gonna use the drawknife for shaping the handles. I'm quite exited to try it.

Thanks Frank  (I will be replying to your mail shortly  )

Looking forward to seeing how these all turn out, that draw knife looks sharper now but not sure about the axes    the heads look darker now is it just the picture?

Did you see my replacement Draw knife above?

Today I picked up....
3 Files
A nice old awl or scriber

and possibly frostbite 

Went on to Lidl's and bought a little accessories kit for my Dremel

[Sparky415]

I also picked up this Billhook at the weekend 

[Sparky415]

It's not the biggest one I own, I'm guessing its a Gardeners knife 
Open to suggestions

[Gareth]

that's a nice little thing Tony, is it a full tang?

[Sparky415]

Yes full tang  I have removed the scales as they were more wood worm than wood 

Its sitting in my 'projects' box now

Another Billyhook  . Tony is your 'projects' box encroaching into your living room  . Not that my project box is getting any smaller  . I looked at my LM Pulse project today & promptly put it back into the box BUT I did finally sort out my ST300's gritty plier pivot, I needed to pull it apart & sand the pliers pivot face , only half of it got polished by the factory

Bloody cold -4 here last night, So I surprised myself  by deciding to go 'booting' 

A couple of 'odd' ones today
A nice looking Ax head wedged on to a bit of 2” x 1” batten with a metal strap nailed over
And a tiny, over sharpened, over hammered head with a tiny crack in the poll and a badly fitted handle (but the price was right    )
Also another putty knife, hacking knife and ball peen hammer



Trying to get warm now

One of these is destined to become a doorstop 




I'm pleased with how this one has cleaned up, Anyone have any idea of the maker? A S ?

I think Blackadder was thinking of Tony when he said; "He's mad! He's mad. He's madder than Mad Jack McMad, the winner of this year's Mr Madman competition"

I picked up mostly outdoors stuff on Sunday

A scythe
stiff brush
Very nice little garden fork made in England by Prestige
Small 'four way' file/rasp
A lovely little fine wet stone in a leather sheath 

Then went on to Lidls a bought some wire brushes for my 4” grinder

[Sparky415]

Very quiet today but did find one thing worth picking up 

[dks]

Nice SAK; good find sparky!

[enki_ck]

Nice SAK; good find sparky!

I think he picked up the axe. . That SAK is his handywork.

[dks]

I know. I was making a joke on the "worth picking up" statement...

and you destroyed it...   

 

[Sparky415]

You don't like my Ax DKS? 

[dks]

Not yet....   

[Sparky415]

All I need now is a big fat Ash log
