Anyone have a link or more information please? :tu:
Very kind offer Tony but I'm good for slippies needing TLC, bit of a backlog actually :-[
You might not feel you're up to it now but pop it in a drawer and chances are in a couple of years you'll look at it in a different light :tu:
There was quite a lot of rubbish but I picked up a few things to play with inc a great looking file, also 4 pairs of scissors for a quid :D
And some very nice home made Marmalade :drool:
No one is :drool: over my Buck sheath :think:It's exactly like mine, sadly empty too.. :-\
There was a coin dealer there, he had a lot of these he was selling at 20 pence each,
I got a couple with specific birth years on and a couple of spare for Nephews :tu:

I thought of it as I was passing his stool, the guy said other people had the same idea this morning
I should be going again in two weeks time if anyone wants me to look out for some :tu:
Thanks John, but I really don't want to start collecting something else :salute: :ahhh

I'm guessing the 4quid I paid was too much then :twak:
At least this isn't looking too bad now :tu:Nice little Karda :tu:

if you ask neil nicely he might tell you what he fed to his antique wrench to make that grow up :P
Very nice OHO (one handed opinel ) Neil ;) :tu:
That was a shame Neil!
I was more than pleased with my haul this morning
(I got a miniature pillar drill as well) :drink:
The BAK's are soaking in oil at the minute
And the SAK is looking a lot better after I re-profiled the main blade
and spent some time rubbing, cleaning and polishing (still needs more work though)
Ryan,
I had one before and they are very handy I had mine for 10ish years, they come with three bits in the handle but If you give it too much stick you will bugger it up ( :twak: lad I was working with buggered mine up)
More stuff :salute:
Inc;
A SAK that's taken a bit of a battering
A couple of BAKs that have broken a couple of my nails already
A pair of 'footprints' for a really great price
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/110710002.jpg)
That adjustable plier/wrench gadget is pretty neat. :tu: Somebody needs to come up with a multitool based on that concept :multi:

Here are all mine
The left hand (7'' 175mm) pair I got 30 years ago and I still use them at work quite a lot (lost the screw :-[ )
The middle pair I picked up today (I have just noticed someone had added extra holes)
The right hand pair are the newest they are 9'' 225mm, I took them apart so you can see how they work a bit better :salute:

Ryan,
You never seen them in action before?
You don't work with any grumpy old Sparkies then?
They are great for doing conduit! (threaded rod, rounded off nuts an bolts)
They tend to bugger up the surface of whatever you use them on so for example you wouldn't use them on a set of bathroom taps :dwts:
If you get some remember;
They only work in one direction
You don't squeeze them like pliers!!
The harder you push the harder they grip
:cheers:
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/110710002bb.jpg)
PS, Blokes you work with will take the piss until they try to undo the conduit you put in with them ;)
That will be 9'' in old money then ::)
A great find!
I have just looked through my spare bolt tin and I think I have a bolt that will fit the thread in your new grips once I have cut it down,
Its not quite perfect but it will be a bit better than a nut an bolt
I can pop it in the post to you if you like :tu:

what are all those springs for?
Not a SAK to be seen today but someone will be happy as they were on every stall ;)

Bob, It says in very small writing “THE L.S. STARRETT Co
THOL MASS U.S.A.
No3
52”
David, Of course it has a bottle opener (made by Ikea ;))
I'm thinking I should make another one
That one was done in a bit of a rush so I wouldn't be the only one without a Spork at the meet :-[
Its needs a bit of time spent on the forky bit
Well, one common exchange, usually spoken with a fat tongue lisp, goes something like, "Thay Buddy, can I borrow your ath-hole mic?"
Which usually solicits a reply of, "Certainly, as long as you don't mind the smell!"
Which is generally followed by peels of adolescent giggles. :D :D :D
We're a pretty shallow crowd, us machinists. ::)
It is well used and the letters are very small :)
Now I need someone to teach me how to use it properly and I guess I should look out for a metric one now :think:
That's deep compared with some of the guys I work with :rofl:

That was one of the reasons why I wanted one :cheers:

Your green knife looks like an Italian one I once had. I'll try and dig out pictures but don't hold your breath, it was a while ago.
Good handle Tony, what's edge retention like on the blade?

What's with the funky shield on that scale?
nice finds there tony, im lucky to find a good dvd for the kids :DI know that feeling.. :D
Well done Tony, looks like a decent haul to me :tu:
I rarely find much at the ones we go to - too many people know what they've got these days I reckon!
$7.30? I think the correct term is 'blimey!' :P
I hate garage sales...they're spread out all over a town, and you have to go into people's yards or driveways to look at their stuff. I'd much rather a car boot sale, but we just plain don't do it that way. The closest I've seen are outdoor flea markets, which do usually have the benefit of having their crap up on tables, but they just don't attract the people with a closet full of junk they just want to dump on an unsuspecting public :P
pssst in DK their not allowed oho knives it was a lame attempt at a joke... ;)So you're the comedian 'round here.. ::) :D
:cheers: :D
I'm surprised you haven't noticed before AHB :think: there's hundreds on here :rofl:
You always seem to find some nice stuff Sazabi :cheers:
They need a bit of a clean and a good sharpen before I can cut anything (including myself :ahhh ) with them, I don't know what people do with them ::)
The Staniforth feels really nice in my hand and I guess its the oldest one of the three
so its my favorite at the moment :salute:
Gareth,
So you have to dodge all the tramps and step over the needles? :ahhh
I think ducks are still landing on the one near me :D

A very wet car boot this morning :D
A stick chopper ;)
A billhook with free added woodworm ::)
Some footprints and two types of adjustable wrenches :tu:
A nice pair of well used but not abused Marples chisels :)
And 1 SAK :tu: …... but I got home and can't find it :think: I think it must be dropped in the mud :cry:
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/120611002b.jpg)
Tony that bill hook looks quite the blade. :) Dont know any thing about the PAK.
I found my newest SAK :D well its a PAK as its made in Poland by Gerlach
Its had a hard life as the spring is missing from the scissors, the file is very rusted and the fish scaler has a prong missing
I can't tell if this is a good quality knife or a cheapy :-\ any ideas? (I'm thinking cheap at the moment)
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/120611005.jpg)
Arrgh, you've got looking at bill hooks on ebay now Tony. :twak:

Never mind ebay just prod me or Tony to grab you one out a rusty bucket under a paste table next week :D
Mostly wood and hedge management. They're the British/European equivalent of a machete I'd say.
Its a bit sharper now with a Micarta handle ;)

Just a question. Can anyone tell me where the name car boot came from? It sounds like what I would call a flea market or yard sale but not sure.A boot is what we call the trunk here in the US. God knows I've left/forgotten enough stuff in cars that I've gotten rid of.....
that's it exactly. What sellers do is bring their stuff in the back of their car, park up in neat rows and set up a table/stall at the boot of the car. :)Just a question.

I didn't actually realise that the Footprint was a uniquely British tool. They're an extremely useful addition to any toolbox. :)
Well it makes me the special one I am from Sheffield and still didn't put the company with the tool.
@Bob,
Yes you are right, I don't think my little 'forge' would get it hot enough to adjust :think: I think I might try to sharpen it a bit for a log splitting Ax.... we will see have to see how it turns out :tu:
@Mat,
I'm sure I need one for something :think: and if I need one I probably need a spare one :D
I'm sure I have a King Dick somewhere ;)
I got home before the rain today :DI think it's a Ray-O-Lite ::) - LINKY (http://www.the10most.net/technology-2/ray-o-lite-cigarette-lighter) - I don't see the Platinum wires on yours though.
I picked up this...
(http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/burn-thingy.jpg)
What did I buy?
It appears to have a stubby wick in the big cylinder surrounded by a flat wick. The brass thing fits into the little tube which is attached to the side of the big one.
Are you going to try yours out? :pok:
Are you going to try yours out? :pok:
I don't have any meths in the house and I'm too tight to buy any :)
I'm happy to have solved the riddle. I'll send it over to Serbia and let someone else play :)
That's just some kind of wizardry :ahhh
Wheres John when we need him? :think:
Wait a sec, how does that thing work? ??? I mean, what exactly is it that makes the methanol ignite?
I don't understaaaaannnnd! :ahhh
Apparently a catalytic reaction between the platinum wires and the methanol fumes causes the wire to heat up to the point that it can ignite.
Would those be all your platinum body piercings?

I have been relAXing the past few days ;)
If anyone missed my Bill hook in the Micarta thread here it is finished, with an Ax from the carboot a week or so ago and another that's been on my to do list,
It had been mistreated, the head had done more hammering than chopping and the handle was battered and loose, I was going to replace the handle but after a play its looking a lot better :tu:

Calipers are (by far!) the most frequently used measuring device at our shop. :) The dial caliper was just taking over from the vernier 30 years ago when I got started as a machinist. Nowadays though, the digital caliper is king. :salute:
A picture I found on the web that shows all three: :)

Nice haul Tony. I never find saks either. I do find plenty of Sheffield pen knives and footprints are fairly plentiful too but as I live and car boot in Sheffield you would kind of expect that.
Jut 2 things of note for me today.
The first is a small Richards pen knife which I have modified as my 6 year old wants to be like dad and carry a MT (I am so proud).
Second was a very small set of footprints. As you can see they are noticeably smaller that the 698s I got earlier. They also have interesting branding as the top bit has the standard footprint logo but the bottom half is Thomas R Ellin Sheffield. Both halves show pat applies for too. Thomas R Ellin was the founder of footprint, so coupled with the pat pending I think these may be an early set. What's your thoughts?

@Paul,
Did you want that Ax head? Its 7 ½ x 4 ¼ , too big?
@Gareth,
I nearly missed them, I was looking in a box of rusty tools as the owner was showing a guy some slippys (nothing that appealed to me)
I said thanks and as I was turning to go the first guy opens a box full of stuff, a bit of red caught my eye (as he was looking through I'm thinking don't take the SAK's Don't take the SAK's >:D )
He left and I dived in, I should have picked up a few other bits he had ::)
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/100711021.jpg)
2nd (waiter?) and 3rd down on the left have the split corkscrews
Middle right is a Wenger
Bottom right sneaked in when I wasn't looking, made by 'stainless steel' :twak:
Bottom is ''stainless steel Japan' and has 'Richard Cowling' scratched on the back of one of the springs :D
The cork screw is broken off and the spring for the scissors is missing
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/100711029.jpg)
Yes Tony I did shorten/ round the knife blade. It only cost £1.25 so no really loss. Already got use out of it and my boy. He is busy using the bottle opener at a BBQ.
Another good haul Tony.
I go to car boot sales almost every week during the summer and I normally manage to find only one or two genuine SAks every year :(
So far this year just a Classic.
Its a used Super Tool :o :o :oGreat find.. :tu: :tu:
if you feel that bad about just send the supertool over here ;)
Looks like you had a good day of hunting at the car boot sale Tony. The Barlow Shackler Knife looks interesting. I`m not a sailor but I always seem to be drawn to those type of knives. But I must admit even tho I find them interesting I`ve never bought one. :shrug: Original SuperTool. 8) Whats the date codes in that jewel?
Well done on the ST :tu:
I grabbed a new 12" file for a quid. Handle wasn't good but the file itself hadn't been used at all.
Saw an opinel no.10 but the lady behind the stall didn't have a price until her husband came back ::) By the time I wandered back it had gone.
Saw my first Gerber at a car boot. An older Multiplier 400. Phillips had been wrecked though.
I can forgive it when the person is just minding the stall whilst the owner nips to the toilets but when one half of the selling "team" has to wait for the OK from the other ::)
Tony any of those axes going to get 'adjusted' :think: :think: :D :D :D.
It was quiet there today, just picked up a couple of Axes and a file

Not quite a flea market find, but it is better. :D My father and I were going through the basement closet and found an old NIB Smith & Wesson American Series Sportsman's knife, model 6080. The other random stuff included old Power Ranger Zords, Lego blocks, and old clothes. >.>;
NIB Leatherman Flair
Gerber Multiplier, blunt nose
Schrade (IIRC) ST6 vise grip, NIB
three NIB Schrade Tough Chips, one each in red, green, and blue

Super Bear Jaws with tool adaptor bits

I'm in a good mood today. The derelict laptop carcass I picked up at the weekend has been brought back to life. I didn't expect much for my two quid. It looked like it had been used as a doorstop .... for a cow shed!
I bought it on the off chance that I might get a working memory stick out of it for another old machine. However after stripping it down and washing most of it (yes, in a sink) and very thorough cleaning and drying its now fully functional if a little scratched up.
Important note to anyone ditching old computer kit/camera/phones. Delete your data! ::) I ran dban over this thing's hard drive before doing a fresh OS install, no way it was touching my network the state it was in!
Did I mention I was happy :D
By the way if anyone has any laptop sticks of DDR (not DDR2) kicking around please feel free to throw them my way ;)
Don't panic Neil, he's going to rehandle it with an old chair leg and make a sheath out a Reliant Robin first.
Looking forward to the results mate :tu: :P >:D >:D
I miss the UK car boot sales.....
All we get here is some charity shops and some "antique" shops thinking any old metal is Gold... :(

well you wouldn't want to bugger up your own tools....:twak: to both of you. >:(

Just finished reviving a bunch of little pliers and cutters that I picked up. I had assumed they were all from the same manufacturer as they were all together and about the same size. After getting through the rust (luckily mainly surface), I found this not to be the case. These little cutters work lovely despite being neglected for a few years. A great 50p bargain :)
i never knew you could buy them separately?...

What are 'stakey marks' Bob? :think:
:cheers:

Ignore Bob and his "official" answer ::)
Stakey marks can be found on any old tool that drew blood after assembly. The stakes were driven into the heart of the tool to prevent any further vampiric tendencies :tu:

Tony you could lock the vise pull the screwdriver out & then chisel away :think: :P
ALTHOUGH if you break your multichisel that leaves the work locked in the vise :ahhh 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 :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :D)I probably shouldn't mention my Ax head interlock adjusting apparatus, there may be mickey taking...

Off and on, when I've read other threads of interest, I've come back to this thread, and finally, at long last... I've finished catching up. So, my thoughts.
Oh GOD... SOOO much RUST! :D
In another thread, I complained about the rust on the handle of a kitchen knife. Sparky, you're right. That wasn't really rusty. It was, frankly, pathetic, compared to the stuff here. The awesome recovery of some of these tools is amazing, and I salute you who would undertake such tasks. :salute:
Also, you understand that my husband thinks I'm crazy for buying good, new(ish) shiny things, right? We didn't have a standard wedding, and I'm pretty sure he had a 'ditch her if she goes bat-poo crazy' clause. He's pretty thorough that way. :rofl:
Me: Honey, can I have $20 to go buy rust with?
Him: :facepalm:
I sent an Email to Granton Knives this morning (still in Sheffield and still making knives ) :clap:
http://www.granton-knives.co.uk/ (http://www.granton-knives.co.uk/)
They said it was made before the mid 50s as the knives after that with rosewood handles with 3 brass rivets.
Thanks Laura. :salute:

Yeah, pretty much/exactly the same thing as a salmon slicer. Thin slices of something soft that has a tendency to stick to the blade. Where I live just has the tendency to make me think of fish before ham. :D

@ Kart. Do many tools have the price stamped/fixed on them? It seems very strange here in a land with varying inflation :)
I can imagine that on certain utility items the price would be set my the relevant government department.
Good score on the shoe makers anvil! useful :tu:
I never know how much things should be, the hatchet was only 50p so I didn't even bother haggling :D
The little ratchet is my second spare one, its a nice little thing, the handle is a bit rubbery for good grip and the knurled bit you turn comes off and you can use a ¼ inch socket drive on it :cheers:

I think vinegar is the way to go, no dust, no noise of the wire wheel, no ouch my eye :ahhh
I'm renaming you Tony de Oxide, the Rust Master TM. Has a ring to it don't you think :P
Nice haul gents.
I did three boot sales this last weekend. Keeps me fit ;)
Spotted a Victorinox Hunter but the guy wanted too much for it. Didn't buy an pretty cool axe head that I'm now regretting walking away from ::)
Got a pile of old broken mobiles for a couple of quid that I'm now playing gut swaps with to get a few working. I bought the boys an old Intel microscope but its around a decade old and the drivers are a joke. Its a neat bit of hardware for kids though, so I'll probably gut the electronics and replace them with the board from a modern web cam.
Oh and I found a Vic. Ensign (http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Ensign) :D
If he's there this weekend I will :)
I've got an engineer's square you can have Tony. Just remind me to bring it nearer the date :tu:

After just one hour new rust started to appear :ahhh

More lettering has become visible ***E IN ENGLAND
And on the other side BRA*** 1 ½
So I'm guessing Brades :D
You can see the line where the blade was hardened (hamon?) and the dark flecks are maroon paint
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/Golok/010612006.jpg)

One end is faily flat and the the other has a slight curve to it
Can't see any markings yet...... need more vinegar >:D
I think I might start buying it in bulk :D
PS, If try this at home be aware that it will stain grey T-shirts and white kitchen worktops when you are washing tools off in the sink :(

I'm happy as this Ax is a 4 1/2lb Wetterlings, now all I need is a good handle :)

copper and hide hammers are always handy :tu:
Paul,
There were not very many knives of any kind at this bootsale, two or three cheap slippys at one stall and this SAK, no Axes and hardly any tools :-\
That might be the way to go with it Mark, DoE the big blade and slightly adjust the small :think:
Handle cleaned with cellulose thinners, faces filed and sanded then everything oiled with linseed/white spirit mix :salute:

Who cares about the rest of the tool then .... 84mm scissors >:D
Wet here this morning..... so went to two boot sales :D
A hammer which has been treated badly (can't see the makers name but feels like a quality tool :-\ )
A knackered scriber
An English made file
A Finnish made file :think:
A couple of Stanley screwdrivers
A 'Footprint' padsaw
And another old Ax head :facepalm:

(http://img.tapatalk.com/47ea089f-e14f-d77d.jpg)
Not one multitool or SAK :(
I saw a Kukuri, it was quite an odd looking one with a full width tang and looked like a wielded butplate, the handle looked old but everything looked too shiny........for 60 pounds!!!!!! :o
the guy got a bit annoyed when I suggested it was a 'bit touristy' :rofl:
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/150712003.jpg)
A couple of screwdrivers and another mallet ::)
I have been looking for something to tidy up my computer desk, to hold all the SAK's, touches, lighters, batteries, glue etc etc etc
I wanted something like an old wooden tool box......
Possibly an antique.......
Something very manly......
So I picked this up.......

Its a No8 'SCRUTITE' wood handle (beach?) with a square shaft, a through tang and a 'striking butt ' (I make this up as I go along) there's also a hexagonal 'ferule' so you can assist the screwdriver with a spanner

Al you don't think they are worth a great amount do you? :think:

The blade is 7.5cm long but it had the tip missing so I guess its a No8?

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. :)
Yes full tang :tu: I have removed the scales as they were more wood worm than wood :ahhh
Its sitting in my 'projects' box now ::)

Just found the top ‘tobacco tin’ is full of asbestos
Wikipedia says
On crumbling walls it may be difficult to drill a clean hole, or the force of the expanding plug may be enough to cause cracking. In these cases, a hardening liquid or putty mixture may be used instead.
One of the first of these mixtures was produced by Rawlplug and was composed of dry white asbestos fibres, sold loose in a tin. The user wetted some into a ball (usually by spitting on them) and pushed this plug of putty into the hole. A small tamper and spike was supplied with the kit. This putty worked very well, but the Hazard of the asbestos fibres means that the product is no longer available.
:oops:

Today I was at my town's weekly street market. In one section there are tables with traditional flea market sort of things. At one of the tables I noticed a knife with a shield and cross on it. As I picked it up to examine it, the guy behind the table told me, "That's a fake. Swiss Army Knives don't have metal handles." I told him I'd give him $5 for it, and he agreed, probably thinking there's a sucker born every minute.... ::)
Mmmm, good stuff there Tony. Do those shears come apart? And who made them if I may ask? :)
Hmmm, never heard of that maker either. :think: Sounds like the quality is not so good. No wonder the seller tossed them in for free. ;)
Will you be dipping the drill press in vinegar too? >:D
Nice haul! I really like the pipetool.

No because the bucket isn't big enough :rofl:
But guess where the Ax is now :whistle:
Nice one User24 :tu:
I bought myself that exact drill when I started my apprenticeship many many years ago

Its a cute little thing and in surprisingly good condition, the blade has not been used as a screw driver, the pokie tool is straight and not been poked somewhere it shouldn't :whistle:
Good to see you Ryan :salute:

I would never do that! :whistle:
In my defense, if you are laying on your back under a bath squeezed in next to a toilet, it would be a bit silly to squeeze back out for a hammer when you have 2lbs of Sheffield steel in your hand :D
Well hang on here, are you saying you actually brought a multitool home from a car boot sale?!? :o :ahhh
Has that ever happened before? :D
Today's finds. Apparently they belonged to his FIL. I am going to guess he was in the army in 1944. Both are in very good/ excellent condition. Now if only I could remember who was asking for an egg beater drill last time we had a meet.

I think its only happened once or twice before Bob, (its too early to look back)
Its a Multimaster (I was surprised that its made in the USA) Comes with screwdriver bits that fit in the end of 'square ' handle and its nice and sharp
Needs a drop of oil and a clean ;)
Ah yes, I recall that one too now that you mention it. :salute:
The Multimaster is a decent enough tool Tony, although the design is a tad dated. Best thing about it (especially in the case of yours there with a bit of rust) is that the whole things comes apart rather easily. :)

Some of those Perfect Handle tools fetch a good price on the bay. :o I saw some H D Smith Perfect Handle wrenches go for a lot more than I would give for a wrench. But they were in what appeared to be excellent to mint condition. :) Some of those screwdriver collectors must have deep pockets cause they really seem to love their screwdrivers. :D Anyway I hope you get a good handle on it some day Tony.
Nice axe, I like the colour, very you. :D
I don't encounter such axe heads around here at all. :(
Think you will get much use out of that wire wheel? ??? :pok: :D

It's official: Tony now owns every single old axe in the whole of Buckinghamshire. :hatsoff:

The one on the left is a lot older (I'm guessing) the finish is a lot nicer and a nicer stamp,
Abingdon (Town near Oxford maybe?), No 0, King Dick, Trade * (a picture of a dogs face (or ugly man)) Mark

That would be a Bulldog, I have one of those king dick mini-shifter wrenches and the odd whitworth spanner.
Must say I'm impressed with vintage English steel, industry standards seemed to have slacked off in the 70's.
I like the vice - Maybe I´ll look out for one that works like that myself - Anybody know how that kind of vice is called?
and I love the box handles - Wanna trade for soemthing rusty? Like old pruning shears, wrench, plier?! :pok:
rained off today :ahhh I hate the British 'summer'
The splitting maul looks like a serious bit of business Tony, but then again, so does the Mattock head! :tu: Is "Mattock" the name of the maker? Around here there are a few pick ax heads that look somewhat similar, but they have pointy tips on both ends for chipping rock, not the flattened blade ends like yours has. :think:
Split my fair share of firewood with a maul back when. 7 pounds is a good size for the job.

If it was rare maybe it would be worth passing it on to a museum but even in that thread people 'picked them up for a fiver/tenner'
As with most war surplus my atidude is it shouldn't be revered but put to service doing plebeian duties and celebrate the fact it no longer has its initial purpose. You can still tell its history to curios onlookers.
I was however just thinking of simple "soak it in vinegar, clean it up and mount it in a humorous BREAK GLASS IN EMERGENCY display case/cabinet " :D :D

Having seen the luck you had I stopped by a garage sale yesterday. He had tools and they were rusty, but nothing of value. It wasn't even worth making a bulk deal offer for the entire rusty lot. <sigh>

Might be a fishing weight, but it would take one smurf of a rod and reel to throw it out. Maybe a net weight, odd shaped sash weight or a flap weight for a tent?
My arms might be getting longer, people get out of your way if you are carrying a big Axe :D
Bottom left is a bit odd, solid lead, I thought it was a plumbob but I think it might just be a weight for some kind of fishing? :think: :think: :think:
The plasterboard saw is a Stanley 'fat max', the yellow tin snips are weiss both good quality :tu:
The small square is to replace the one Neil kindly gave me that has gone AWOL, trying to get my chisels sharp and square
And tucked away on the left is (I think) a thread file (I have a plan)
Lower middle right just below the footprint. Another sharpening stone or is that a small french rolling pin?
Yeah, I'm leaning toward fishing weight now.
Very nice tony :salute:
Good haul Tony! Is that screw on the Footprint original?
Could be a loom weight, used for weaving?
Here it is, surprisingly weighs 2 ½ lbs
It has 'W' stamped on the side which obviously stands for weight :D

The strange scissors look like Florist snips.
Here's something similar.

Depends on the size of the loom, our blanket loom in work has an assortment of weights all around it, the heaviest is a monster at 30 pounds. I think that they use the pear shaped weight so that nothing can catch on them as they're without corners?Could be a loom weight, used for weaving?Phil,
I didn't know what a Loom weight was until you mentioned it, had a google and you might be right but I guess at 2 ½ lbs it would be too heavy? :shrug:
I need to spend some time in the garage cleaning and sharpening stuff :ahhh

The question is now...who is going to volunteer to light it? :ahhh :D
:think: :think:
By the blueness around the preheater it looks like T has already tried.
I have a portuguese Hippolite that i picked up with a primus blowlamp. Very similar look. Been meaning to get it running so i can flog it for a better price on ebay. (still haven't changed the seals on the primus either, i really want to braze old school)

I spent 2 hours making one of the files glow red with a blowtorch and it is still magnetic... I did the spark test earlier so I know they are good.
I will see if they are softer now tomorrow, and, if it did not work I will soften them with a charcoal fire.
... I think the handle has been replaced in the past...

Here's the finds that I have with me. The Demo knife has Ulster 48 written on the bail with brass liners, the pliers are Mac and have far less rust than you guys may like :D. The Ads I got just because I thought they would look pretty cool on the dorm walls. The 7-up one is from 1950, the other is 52.

Nice hacksaw! Those files look substantial. :tu:Yep the hacksaw is a nice one
And a work mate threw this in the skip, Got it out in about 30 seconds :whistle:That hatchet reminds me of the saying from the horse world: "rode hard, put away wet" :o
Estwing? :think:

I'm guessing you'd be slightly reluctant to lend any of your "good" tools to that particular work mate ?
You should carve a nice wooden handle for the hatchet.

Welcome to my favourite thread Gerhard :salute: :D
That is an ARPAX which stands for Air raid patrol/prevention axe
These were made in WW2 and were issued to air raid wardens for rescue duties (and firemen)
They were made by a few different companies e.g. ELWELL, CHILLINGTON but I’ve not heard of ANGUS :think:
Can we see some pictures of yours Please :tu:
:cheers:
Hi
I gave it the pointy bit at the bottom after removing what was left of the rubber handle, same rubber handle that could apparently protect/isolate you from 20 000V.
The electric fencing we generally live behind is 15 000V as far as I know, and I always hope >:D the thief that left it behind got a small HELLO from the fence thanks to the stuffed handle.
We can dream ::)
I could probably find you a spare handle if you needed one Crow ;)
Well, inspired by someone. I went to the second hand store, and got myself five files. And local hardware store had something for sale, so got couple clamps and file handles for good price.
Ended making toolchest tonight. I will need it soon. ..
I've been woking on this draw knife for a day or two, added a couple of file handles

Still needs some more work to get it really sharp but its usable :tu:

How do you ensure the handles don't fall off?
Hi
Nice finds as always......what about the Okapi?
I miss the one I had as a kid....
In line with this thread, my dad found a cleaver that belonged to my grandfather, who used it for everything from butchering sheep to cutting corrugated iron sheets.....with the help of a hammer.
I found it in the garage, when I was a kid, restored the messed up edge to a certain extent.
Forgot completely about it, but from the markings on it I was planning to turn it into a war ax of some sort - thankfully I didn't.
My dad admits with shame that he most likely messed up the edge in the first place, but all is well because that's my next project.
Already decided it'll get Cream Denim Micarta handles, I hope to get the same effect as that polished ivory Micarta seen on some Tops knives.
It was obviously hand forged........and pics will follow, I promise :facepalm:
:drool:
The Okapi is in pieces in the garage as a future project, it was too far gone to be useful ::)
Something else waiting for some micarta ;)
Do you roll yer own? :D

Hi Sparky
The very first material I bought was zombie green and neon orange.....thought it was canvas (no lighter with me >:D ) but turned out to by synthetic.
From my research I thought it would flop, but turns out it works fine........only issue being it compresses a lot, so my orange micarta turned out very thin (3mm about).
No idea what I'm going to use it for.
Bought the cream denim today and I think it'll be a winner.
To be perfectly honest I'll get to the pics next week, I'm in the middle to planning/packing for a trip this weekend.....
Taking a drive to collect my very first custom made knife from Camp Gecko (Gecko Knives) - (slightly early) 40th birthday gift from me to myself. :gimme:
you have to be very organised when you make this stuff it’s easy to make a huge mess :whistle:
Reckon that is a nice hammer handle there Tony!
Sparky, I was just wondering... Are you absolutely sure you're not causing earth's axis to tilt by hoarding all that rusty metal at one spot? :pok: :D
Great finds all around! :tu:

I'll also point out that David's PST and Plierench collections are approaching critical mass. Not that there's anything wrong with that.... :tu:
Nice hand vise! Does it have any manufacturing marks?
Ooh, I've been thinking about getting one of those little vises myself lately. Never seen one around here for sale ??? but there's usually a few on ebay at any given moment. Seems like quite a few different companies made them.
Nice hand vise! Does it have any manufacturing marks?
Just stamped (3 times) with the Guys name 'J BIRD'
Perhaps the third one is underneath that old axe? ???
Or that other old axe?
Or maybe that one over there?
Or beneath that stack of axes in the corner?
Or... :D
:D :D
You two are welcome to come over and help me look for it :)

So, me and my girls took a bikeride to our local supermarket. I have a wagon that i tow with my bike, and girls sit in ther. Anyway. Supermarket had 1kg hammers for 1€ a piece. I took six of them. Those and groceries with my girls on board, was not easy way home.
Today i went back, and ended getting nine more, plus 2 1,5kg hammers. So now i have fifteen 1kg and two 1,5kg hammers :D
Need one back?
Tony reckon that GPO 67 BB sure is a swell lookin axe. 8) :)

Good looking haul. Never seen that kind of hammer before.

Thank you, the SAKs are definitely the nicest ones I own. I collect stilettos and have nothing similar to the oddball slip-joint so it too is a keeper as is the hawk. I've had a few hawks and they are quite handy but never one with a liner-lock so it too goes into the keep pile.
I rotate going to various flea markets, this one had ~90+ sellers. Some are larger and some smaller. This one and one other always yield good knives while others are picked clean. By this I posit there are other knife guys in the area. Reminds me of territorial animals and you know their presence by the absence of things.

The driver third from the left is a Model 660. It has the number on the tip. It is rarer than the rest. Depending upon the use and style, the hammer could be a drilling hammer or an engineer's hammer. Lump hammer seems an appropriate moniker.

Truth is the problem won't get any better without accepting the truth and putting yourself in the hands of a higher power. I'm thinking the higher power is Husquvarna, Stihl, Snap-On, W. R. Case......... and a revolving credit account... :rofl:
Revolving credit is a type of credit that does not have a fixed number of payments, in contrast to installment credit. Credit cards are an example of revolving credit used by consumers. Corporate revolving credit facilities are typically used to provide liquidity for a company's day-to-day operations. They were first introduced by the Strawbridge and Clothier Department Store.[1]
It is basically an arrangement which allows for the loan amount to be withdrawn, repaid, and redrawn again in any manner and any number of times, until the arrangement expires. Credit card loans and overdrafts are revolving loans, also called evergreen loan.[2]

Smashie.
Not a great picture, it’s a leather punch
So the Wilkinson sword pruner is made by..... Wilkinson Sword,
The Mercat isn’t, it seems to be a cheapy made in Solingen Germany (bent blade so its just had a hammering :) )
The ‘not a zippo’ is made by Hanson, works great :tu:
Nice finds Tony!
The Felco's are a great pick up.
Looks like another Perfect Handle screwdriver. :D
Two more hand vises? One for each axe head?
Is that a grape pruning knife!
The Secateurs have cleaned and sharpened up very nicely
Who knew the Swiss made such nice tools? :shrug:
And the Wilkinson Sword folder runs a lot better after an oil and sharpen (was and still is a chisel grind) :tu:

Your 112 looks to be an older model. Does it have any symbols or dots after the number 112 on the tang stamp?

Do they not sell things if people move/die there? I'll take a picture of my best recent score, the only estate sale I've seen all year
Edit: This, a turntable, an old pair of cee tee co slipjoints, a couple files, steel cups, 7.62 ammo box, cheap West Germany needlenoses, and an old pyrex (borosilicate not soda-lime glass) dish, for $35!
As for this? NIB 1973 Coleman 2 burner stove, wasn't even opened up (cardboard still on tank, all papers included). It's even got a little scissor-opening stand. Always wanted one

Well........few weeks ago I went and bought the straightest rake handle from the bunch, sanded and gave it the linseed oil treatment. One end was already tapered to accept a rake, so it required minimal fitting...

Tony if'n you don't mind what brand are those two spanners?
^^^ I just love how they smell :dd:
Picked up a few new toys this morning :)
The SAK is only there for comparison
There’s a very clever adjusting spanner at the bottom ;)

I don’t often see a good handle and the price wasn’t too bad (they do have them for sale around here but they are around £16plus new)
I can’t see anything on the wrench yet, need to clean it up a bit
And the axe head is 4lbs :D
Ooh and bottom right is a 1/4socket driver made by Craftsman, don’t see too many Craftsman tools around here :tu:
Years ago I worked with a Guy that had some, seems like good quality gear
I've had this one for a while but I haven't used it much.

Lots of rust...but no burny things this time? :P :D

The older Craftsman quality is better. Now it is just average.
The Diamond logo is a classic. Great find!
Hey Sparky, i am missing nozzle of my Gaz blowlamp. Could you post picture of yours nozzle, and some measures.? How does it attach? I will probably have to make it.

Steve the Diamond Calk wrenches were made before 1958. In 58 or maybe late 57 the name changed to Diamond Tool. It appears to have a reinforced hanging hole which would suggest a 1940 to 1958 manufactoring date. Great find. :tu: :)
I don't use them on anything I value (unless I'm really stuck ;))
Generally speaking, I wouldn't use an adjustable when working on a car. The tool size compared to a dedicated spanner is often the issue. One often needs as much room as possible and dedicated wrenches often have better fit and more clearance.
On the other hand, if I have a job to do on a roof or a ladder and I have several different size bolts to deal with but only one of each, I use an adjustable to keep from having to haul multiple tools with me.
An adjustable in the vehicle is a good thing. You never know when you are going to happen upon a situation requiring a wrench or socket size you don't have in your set.
Picked up some interesting stuff today inc
An Ontario Knife Company ASEK belt cutter (missing its original sheath) no idea what it's doing this side of the pond :think:
A lovely old AVO :)
And that rusty cast iron ships anchor everything’s resting on is a saw table (missing all it's moving parts ::) )

That is quite a impressive haul, mind explaining me what or which is one the AVO thing? Technically speaking that means grandfather in portuguese but I'm quite sure that it is not the case.

What are the two bits in the upper left corner?

Is that a fish scaler on that knife on the right? What brand is it?
Sorry WWW :salute: I kinda thought they were everywhere :-[

That makes much more sense! It is sad that they are no longer made, but I guess that it makes an even better find!!
Another great good haul there Tony!
Nice pickups! Good to see there are still rust axe heads in the wild there! I often fear for their continued existence..... :whistle:
Ordinance Survey maps are going to have their work cut out soon :whistle:
It won't be long before anyone out hiking in a certain part of the UK are going to have to buy new maps recalibrated to show that what their compass thinks is Magnetic North is actually Sparky's shed :P
There'll be hikers lost for days on end thinking they're going in a straight line, while they're actually orbiting Sparky's neighbourhood like moths round a lightbulb :rofl:

That was an excellent video with lots of cool ideas. :tu:
Nice collection! The perfect handle screwdriver looks like it was made to pull tacks?
What are the manufacturers names on the adjustables? Those really small ones are very collectable.
You know me Mate I like a spot of rust :D

and I've had a fan drying the storage thing all day, I can almost open the draws :ahhh

Yes it’s a nail puller, not sure but looking at all the grinds I think it’s a mod :think:
The 4inch is made in Japan by ETC,
Middle one is a no name (maybe made in Germany) :think:
The 10inch is made in England by Garringtons with a spanner moulded in to the handle, marked 7/61 (Date?) on one side and 3/8W (whitworth?) on the other
The wire gauge and scribe are made by Moore and Wright, England :tu:

I like the raised panel on the Garringtons.
Hilka screwdrivers. New to me. Off to look them up.....

It does feel nice in your hand, this one is well used and well looked after (I've not seen this make before)
Hilka are a cheap make of ‘ok’ tools, I’ve not bought any since I first started work as they were rubbish back then but these feel quite good to me
Some perfect handle tools I’ve not seen before, but the hammers don’t look original to me? :think:

Bit of fiddle back is always nice. Fairly good grain orientation.
Tyre has been off car for over six years. It is a 24 inch off a 1925 Dodge Brothers Tourer. I flat spot it through to canvas when locking the brakes up

Also, we recently got a really nice 2 seater leather sofa from Gumtree for £20. Not that I'm offering it to you as we sit on it, but there are always loads of leather sofas on offer for cheap. :salute:

Those tongs take me back! My folks had them for years. Nice haul.
Buffed the handles to remove the finish back to the brass, brushed on linseed oil/white sprit
Top two done ;)
Two more hand vises? :tu:
What's the count on those these days?
Drawers look awesome Tony!!!
Not sure if I can free the adjustable yet Boaz :think: but all were a great price :tu:
Picked up this tiny little Wenger with Crossair scales
Also visited a really great toolshop in High Wycombe for some bits and came away with this tiny axe handle, security tape on the handle that reads ‘handle with care’ :D

Sweet find!I really like the old Gaz sets, well thought out :tu:
Great finds!
I've never seen an adjustable wrench like that before. Wonder if the cutouts on the handle are for different nuts and bolts, or just decorative?
The fixed blade is probably American made, but by who, I don't know. A number of makers used a handle like that.
Thanks Mate, I've had some luck :tu:
Hopefully the good one near me will start soon :think:
You really do have a better calibre of car booty down your way mate.
At the meet-up we should have a challenge to see who can get the best item for £5 in under an hour.
Great haul there Boaz. :o
Nice haul B :tu:

Nice Wade and Butchers pen knife and lots of useful stuff in that yellow tin :drool:
Spear and Jackson axe? :think:
Just catching up with what you've been up to in the last few months. Love that set of drawers and what you're doing to restore them. :cheers:
I'd vote that deserves a dedicated thread. :whistle:
So long as you are in no hurry I will see what I can find for you :tu:
I will PM a picture soonish
That lambsfoot is a bit of all right mate. :tu:

What's that thing inside the saw? :think:
Wow Tony sooo many sak's :drool: 👍
What's that thing inside the saw? :think:
It’s some kind of jig for getting the right angle when sharpening a chisel or plane
I don’t know how to use it yet but it was cheap :shrug:Wow Tony sooo many sak's :drool: 👍
I got them all from the same nice old couple that often sell them (they call me ‘the knife man’ :D )
:cheers:
As Gerhard is making a hammer/axe I thought I should get a handle on this one :D

A really good day at the flea market today, spent a little bit more on the day than I set out to but there was an abundance of quality stuff today where it's been dry in the past. I was not able to take everything home today either, I left behind some pretty quality camp knives that typically I would have rescued.
Nice one mags :cheers:

Plenty of Bucks on Ebay to fill that sheath with, makes it look nice and gives it a purpose in life :)
Possibly for railroad spikes, although most of them have even smaller hitting surfaces. :-\
Nice haul Sparky :tu:
Glad you found it ok Gareth, :tu:

Evidently I missed a few things. ;) It was quiet when I went, just three rows of sellers but I suspect there's normally a lot more. The pouring rain probably didn't help the turnout. I also didn't want to spend hours there digging.

The Irwin Channel lock pliers are solidly made adjustable pliers. I have several of them in various sizes.
Lots of goodies in that haul Tony! :tu: :)
I've seen that flashlight/screwdriver set for sale online before, but never was quite tempted enough to buy.
Hmmm, I've seen that flashlight/screwdriver set for sale online before, but never was quite tempted enough to buy. Is it a gimmick do you think, or something truly useful? Any idea of how long ago it was made?

Just to prove I did go to Tony's car boot show I picked up this compact sledge hammer. I've got a feeling it's got a specific purpose with it's very small striking faces, but I don't know what it might be. I'm open to suggestions though.

Love that saw. I hope to find similar one day.
I saw one of those perfect handle ones here couple years ago. Seller asked ridiculous amounts of money of his stuff, so i layed off some nice stuff from his desk.

"jamming thingy". or "That longish thingy with the spindle... no, the other one"

Maybe some tourists should wear diapers.
Ha! I thought about linking that one...
I have heard defacating on the tracks in the forests here leads to Giardia in creeks and rivers. Apparently it's acceptable to do it in Europe?
Well actually, I was trying not to say German (the perception is that that is who it usually is)! :pok:Ha! I thought about linking that one...

Well-no. Nonono. Noooooo.
It's just that a huge amount of pretty brainless Europeans are permitted to travel . Furthermore, "European" has become a somewhat lax definition for one's origin.

Nice! :tu:
That story about the earth being knocked out of orbit if all the Chinese jump at the same time?.........aren't you scared the planet picks up a wobble with all those rusty axes in one spot? :rofl:
"...and in today's news; scientists are struggle to explain the Magnetic North Pole's sudden jump to Southern England..."
That's why the prices are really skyrocketing here, that one was 50p! :o
:whistle: :D
Luckily we have Chako and his hoard to balance it out :D
"...and in today's news; scientists are struggle to explain the Magnetic North Pole's sudden jump to Southern England..."
Stick it in the mail. I'll send you a check. :whistle: :mail: :D

So Oxfordshire really is the 'bottom' of the world now? :think:

Cash only from you Yadda :rofl:
Cash on the nail only! (old English saying ;) (sheep trading))
Bring a large wad of cash and you can tour my garage :D
The only trouble is when I'm on a stall selling I want to be out there buying :ahhh
and then the really canny stall holders buy all of Tony's stock and slowly sell it back to him at a 25% mark up. >:D

Nearly as old as you Tony :D
The little hand vice is stamped 1945 with the MOD arrow (and the number 9/2961)
If that's not old enough for you the plane iron is stamped EP WARRENTED CAST IRON and 1915 or 1916 or maybe 1918 :think: :o
Except your reputation :D
Yes but nothing about me is warranted :P
Nice haul Zed :cheers:
Nice knives Mate :tu:

Is that an Ontario Paul?
Oh sorry Smashie was you on about the old hickory knives like the butchers type ? This doesn't appear to have any stamps but is well patina :tu:

I saw lots of rust today, :D :D
Bought an old green handled, Estwing safe-t-shape hammer (yea I know I have too many hammers),
Loads of files and some old leather belts/bits
also perfect pattern screwdriver and a lovely little 2oz (I think) ball pein hammer

Guys :salute:
I don't know what gas pliers are Yadder but they are a pair of blacksmiths tongs :tu:
NEVER pass up an anvil 8)
:tu:
Nice anvil! 70 lbs. is still pretty big in my view. I've never heard of Lucas linesman's pliers, here you'll typically find Klein, Proto, or Craftsman ones at the flea market, along with bargain bin special garbage. I really like the round pipe/fastener gripping portion on them, my old Protos don't, which are soon to be replaced by a pair of Knipex that do.
You can't have too many hammers. I have them ranging from tiny little tack hammers to big 2 lb. ball peens. Different hammers for different jobs. My problem is pliers--I have probably over a dozen pairs of several types of different sizes, from little electronics pliers to a probably 18 inch rusty, pitted pair of blacksmith's tongs.
Do you ever wonder if some of the more canny sellers are deliberately adding rust to their wares because they know you then won't be able to resist ? :pok: :rofl:

I got lucky at a garage sale three weeks ago and picked up this set of brand new air nailers for $20. Never used, includes the nails, oil, goggles, and a carry bag.
Quite a few things from the flea market, I think I went overboard. ' I believe that aforementioned scalper called in sick today.
A few knives for $15
Three Electrician's Knives, two USA Colonial, the other Irish Imperial. The seller also threw in Queen, Colonial, and Camillus parts knives which I'm saving for backsprings.

From another seller, Kutmaster USCG Rope Knife, $7.

A few hand tools, $12.
Irwin Perfect Handle (marked with military markings, and was actually former military, as the owner was issued it) slotted screwdriver. Needs the tip reprofiled. Now I see why Perfect Handles are so well revered, it feels great and indestructible.

Krauter USA Pliers, needlnose/cutter and duckbill. Stahwille Germany snap ring pliers--the biggest I've seen. That one pair of pliers is $60 new. The duckbill Krauters need some work to the pivot, they were overtightened with a center punch.

And finally, an $5 like new US made Browning sheath, which cost a measly $5. Unfortunately, I scuffed it carrying in my pocket (didn't want to undo my belt in public). Dates to the 1970s, I think. It holds a Vic 108mm GAK well.

Good additions Tony. :like: I'm still here. :D Great lookin axe head Tony! Hasnt been over sharpen and the poll isnt hammered into a mushroom. What brand is it?
The problem with using vinegar is the steel will start rusting the second you wash it off :ahhh
The square, do you have one of those erasers that has one end for pencil the other is for pen? Try the pen end it should work and hopefully not remove any lettering, good for any brass on there aswel ;)
The framing squares, I would just use a wire wheel, see if that works first :tu:

Hammer handle, a broken mortise chisel, an 'auger' for a hand brace (I wonder if I still have a brace somewhere?) small sharpening stone
And the knife at the bottom is a Victorinox :D
(http://i.imgur.com/fLFc3Py.jpg)
The chisel cleaned up well, (but a bit short for mortises) it's aNoooooooo! :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
Marples & Sons 8mm 5/16ths mortise chisel
Not sure if I've done the angle right or even if it is supposed to have a secondary bevel :think: but it's probably good enough to open a paint tin :cheers:

My parents are in Edinburgh for the weekend, and dad happened to come across some sort of car boot sale-alike rambling around the town near Edinburgh Castle.Quite poor results here too.
I finally understand a stark difference between car boot sales here and there(meaning UK): In one Scottish boot sale, my dad saw more knives than I've seen in several months of Irish boot sales. :ahhh :ahhh
I feel like I stole them :o
Good job you found an axe head Tony, you dont have many of those :whistle:
There was an estate sale on my street this weekend. I stopped by yesterday but the prices weren't that great. I knew they would be clearing stuff out today so I stopped by this morning and scored this lot for $10. The handles are all in good shape and tight just need cleaned up a bit :tu:

What's the knife with the inline awl/punch?
The scissors have been messed about with, badly sharpened, the screw had been piened over and one of the handles is a bit bent,
fixable I think :think: :tu:

Found me a cute little ball peen for $1

No, it’s not that two in one, it’s an actual ball peen, there’s no name on it but I like the balance of it.Found me a cute little ball peen for $1

Screwdrivers in the handle?

Probably, I was just looking and found the identical hammer in two spots, one sold for $14 and another selling for $16, just no info as for manufacture,No, it’s not that two in one, it’s an actual ball peen, there’s no name on it but I like the balance of it.Found me a cute little ball peen for $1

Jeweler's hammer or tin smith.
Probably not Rusty enough for Sparky :pok:
Got a few bits today, a Somax 250 Saw Tooth Setter $2, some Australian made 24oz ball peen hammer $2, and a Sater Banko Sweden 3/4 axe for $15 (does need a new handle) which did have a nifty little hand made wooden sheath. The guy I got the axe from had some other heads, but they looked like they'd seen some fire. When I mentioned it to the guy he admitted he'd burnt the old broken handles out in the coals :facepalm:, to which I told him it could lose the temper. I didn't buy those, they also had no brand marks I could see anyway.

Not a find, well sorta, I knew I had it but dug it out, the little guy saw one of my larger knives and his eyes lit up, just a little too big! But I remembered I had this somewhere, it was my grandfathers old Boy Scouts knife, and well, the little guy joined the Boy Scouts, on top of that I don’t use it, so what better then to give it to him? Just needs a very good clean up!:like: Nice knife. It's great your able to pass it on. Should clean up nicely, for another generation of use. :tu:
I told him it was a Boy Scouts knife but he wasn’t to thrilled, that was until he saw the logo stamped into the blade and it says Boy Scouts, then he was like WOW!
JR
It should, I hope,, I must say he’s been after me to get going on cleaning it up every day since I showed him that knife, of course I’d probably be doing the same if I saw that knife..Not a find, well sorta, I knew I had it but dug it out, the little guy saw one of my larger knives and his eyes lit up, just a little too big!

The UK went Metric in 1965, as that was made in 1945 it must be Imperial
Obviously I need to buy another one to fit Metric nuts
Do you have Metric nuts Rob? :think:

A few bits this morning (not the knife)

Yep, metric nuts for sure. But usually for sizing, it's suck it and see, then a hair more or a hair less... You need to make sure you get right into the crotch for a firm grip, too :rofl:

I do have others Yadda but I'm not sure that there is a set as such, I think there's just different versions :think:
The chisel is stamped but I can't read it

I'm getting very interested in chisels. Really hard to find any at yard sales around here.For use or as part of your er.... collection?

Paul Sellers rates cheap ones you can get from Aldi.
I have some old ones that they were selling off when my school was upgrading.
Whoops sorry I thought that was Sparky I was replying to.
Luckily the Paul Sellers Effect hasn't affected secondhand planes here.... yet.
Nah I'm not selling, plus I'm on the other side of the world.

Too much detail right there :ahhh
@ Yadda
I bought that little one for someone who has started wood carving
I didn't realize it was that bad over there for chisels I donated all my spare ones a few weeks ago :(
I also bought that set of Aldi chisels for a work colleagues lad who was getting in to woodwork :tu:
:cheers:
People here seem to look down on the old blue handled Stanley and Marples chisels
I think they are really worth trying if you can find them over there?
Good luck
:cheers:
I don't think the Aldi chisels are meant to be fantastic, just that for the price they're not too bad.
Nice apron,

Best of all a very used leather apronI use saddle soap to clean my leather stuff. Cleans it and keeps it soft and supple.
Now I have to decide how to clean it :think: :think:

That apron is Great Tony, think I'll need one eventually as my T'shirts are getting a bit holey from using the bench grinder :rofl:I got me one, I won it somewhere, I think I only used it once, but I’d rather have a leather one, those are nice!
Is that a molle one JR?Yeah, suppose to have an add on for a beer holder
That's nice JR :salute: I've been wearing old T'shirts and hoodie's :tu:Like I said I really have yet to use it, I can only remember once, but here’s what your kinda suppose to use the molle for,
Hmmm maybe you could make my molle hiking vest for me.... :think:I’m sure they make them..
To die for...Show contentAre they pieces from a tap and die set? :think:
Yeah but they don't make exactly what I want.Hmmm maybe you could make my molle hiking vest for me.... :think:I’m sure they make them..

Here is that leather apron, it wasn't cleaning up very well so I put it in the washing machine on the lingerie setting :shrug: (I have never used this setting on anything before!)How do you normally wash your lingerie then? :think:
I have read that olive oil works wonders on restoring leather, but have not yet tried myself

I might have put too much on :-[ :think:

The Footprint and the Bahco adjustable wrench are always great items to find. The pruning multi tool is one I rarely see. And I've been looking. The Snapon gas can even in that shape would probably bring a pretty penny on this side of the pond. :tu: :salute:

You know me Yadda I do like a wrench or two :D and the multitool is soaking in WD40 at the moment :tu:
The Ratchet is just stamped Japan, didn't turn, WD40 with some wiggling and now its good :tu:
The multitool is cheap made in China kinda rubbish
The two tap wrenches are both made in England and really nice quality

You should take the ratchet a part and clean it. Japanese, probably very good tool. Expected the pruners to be low quality, still want one.
Looks more useful than my Vista. :facepalm:

Consider packing it with silicone grease. Lasts longer and reduces friction. You can buy repair kits for most of the major brand ratchets.

I shall ignore your advice this one time Yadda :salute:
I feel that if you added grease it would hold particles and become cutting compound
I prefer to blast out any grittyness with WD40 then add a light oil
It works good enough for me at the moment :tu:
Just to add that I can't remember the last time I used a 1/2inch drive at home, might have been working on my breaks or wheel bearings a few years ago, so it's not going to get used a lot in my garage

What is the bicycle type wrench below your SAK?
I'm hoping I can go to the one near me on Monday. My grandmother is wanting to go to a greenhouse which is pretty much next door to the livestock market where it's held.

What brand are the locking pliers in the upper right corner and what size are the Bahco pipe pliers? Nice finds! I especially like the mattock. I look forward to seeing the horn put to good use on knife handles and other odds and ends.
I'll say ! nice job Tony :tu:

And the 12" 30cm rule is made by Rabone Chesterman :tu:
And there's also another Tap wrench (above the SAK) that I didn't really 'need' ::)
I didn't think anyone would notice :whistle:
That square looks alright! :tu:

Is that a grind stone dressing tool next to the 2 tape measures?
I went car boot hunting yesterday and picked up a tin of 10 dewalt 4 1/2" cutting discs for 2 quid. Just a shame I bought some cutting discs from screwfix the day before. I'm sure they will come in handy sometime though.
Looking forward to see how it comes out :popcorn:
And the wood handled knife looks very interesting :tu:
:cheers:
The "Made in Germany" mark started after 1887, in response to British legislation, and continued at least until the USA entered the war in 1941. In the interwar years many German made goods were exported to Britain marked "Foreign" to counter anti-German feeling resulting from WW1.

What are they or what were they used for originally ?
Bowls are designed to travel a curved path because of a weight bias which was originally produced by inserting weights in one side of the bowl. This is no longer permitted by the rules and bias is now produced entirely by the shape of the bowl. A bowler determines the bias direction of the bowl in his hand by a dimple or symbol on one side. Regulations determine the minimum bias allowed, and the range of diameters (11.6 to 13.1 cm), but within these rules bowlers can and do choose bowls to suit their own preference. They were originally made from lignum vitae, a dense wood giving rise to the term "woods" for bowls, but are now more typically made of a hard plastic composite material.
Do they play bowls much (or at all) in the states?

I was wondering what the purpose was of the tool with the long straight wooden handle? One end looks like a conventional pick, but the other end looks sort of like an extended hammer and I have no idea how it would be used. The thinness of the handle indicates only light impact loads, so maybe some kind of precision work ? Hopefully one of our old tool gurus can enlighten me :D

The perfect handle screwdrivers are supposedly quite plentiful in the Northeast corner of the US according to the old tool collectors I hang out with on another board. I've seen a few here in Texas. Most are severely abused.

The handle needs a little work but I'm really pleased with it :tu:
A couple of those spanners look familiar. ;).
And now to the inevitable questions...
How long is that file? It looks huge!
35cm long not inc tang and 34mm wide made by OBERG Sweden about 14inchesAnd what kind of probe is that item to the right of the ratchet? Alien minds want to know. :rofl:. Just realized it is a spool of line. :facepalm:
Dang I thought it was a probe with a safety line :ahhh
Finally, what is that bit below the ratchet?
That's a clever little sanding device, I will get better pictures in a day or two

- Unknown brand 16" 6.5 PPI (5.5 TPI) Compass Saw
- Nonpariel (with elephant logo) 26" 7.5 PPI (6.5 TPI) crosscut saw
- Disston probably No.7 26" 7 PPI (6 TPI) crosscut saw http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/7page.html
- Disston probably D-8 with thumbhole 28" 4 PPI (3 TPI) rip saw http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/d8page.html
They have hardly any rust on them, just grime and a few paint splatters. Unfortunately the handle with the thumbhole isn't complete.
I'm thinking just some steel wool and kerosene on the blades and for the handles sanding off the varnish and putting boiled linseed oil on.
(By the way, this is a really informative site: http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/ with a quick glance guide here: http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/quickglance.html )
Score!
Nice looking saws :tu:
Thumb hole or index finger?"Thumbhole handle for two-handed use" apparently. But your index finger naturally goes there if using it one-handed.

We have a couple Fuller Japan tools around the farm (mostly pliers and cutters); and they seem to be pretty good quality.
Great score on the Yankee. Any bits with it?

Recent acquisition. Not pictured is a B&D recarchable screwdriver. Looks to be dead, but the rest is what I bought it for so not disappointed. Stanley 41Y drill with 4 bits in the handle. Stanley wood chiselstill very sharp. Fuller 8 inch adjustable, made in Japan. The needle nosed pliers are from West Germany. The 10 inch adjustable is some off brand. The hex bit set has the owner name etched on each piece. It was made in Japan. Looks like a great user set.
Good haul Yadda! :like:
Felt good yesterday went the flea market found an old carpet knife AKA carrot knife (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190503/0a71b575a4e1095085664e542e0395ca.jpg)with the tip badly rounded off scraped off the rust and sharpened it up. Also found a Craftsman mini utility knife and a Gerber utility knife.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'd like to see more about that sharpening stone holder.
I got that same Craftsman (and a bigger one; that looks the same; guess both were sold as a set) in a knife lot. Really interesting design. Only draw back is that they lock shut, not opened. I'm thinking about taking them apart and adding an extra stop, so that just enough of the blade sticks out to open packaging. I really like a hawkbill, and am looking at seeing how those fixed carpet knives perform.
That's the first blue Gerber Edge I have seen. Mine's black, those at Walmart are orange.

I must admit I look at some stuff and wonder why on earth they are even attempting to sell it. Landfill fodder to say the least. But amongst the muck there you occasionally find a diamond.
In the age of eBay, I often suspect nowadays, a lot of the stuff at flea markets is eBay leftovers the individual selling it couldn't ditch that way. That would probably explain all the junk seen.
:iagree: I admit i have found some nice scale model kits at car boots and hand tools too. There is nothing quite like finding a beat up old axe head to restore. But I will never understand why people try to sell VHS tapes at car boots. Charity shops won't even take them any more.
:D
I might have found one or two diamonds on Sunday ;)
Some good finds there. But that brings me to another question. How do you all feel about buying power tools at car boots? Ive always been a tad dubious. Call it my untrusting nature. Im more of a transient care boot buyer i dont often return to them as i go ones down the coast quite a way away from my native London.
Foot Prints and axes and gear pullers, oh my! :salute: :cheers:

I could look in to the shipping if you really wanted it ;)
Only the second pair of Channellocks I have ever seen here in the UK (I bought the other pair as well :D )
How cool is the internet? we can talk about Channellocks / Eliot Lucas and we all know what we are all talking about :tu: :tu:
Don't forget the Mole Grips! The internet is indeed a marvelous place. Nice chisel sharpener on the lower left corner. That bill hook looks pretty worn. I'm curious to see what it will become.
I don't even know why I bought that billhook (slasher ;) ) except that it was cheap ::)
Oh and the Mole grips, I went through all my tools last year and gave away all my extra mole grips keeping just three pairs because who needs more than three?
So I bought these cheap with the slasher :rofl:
Vice Grips is another slippery slope :twak:
Yadda can you tell me what the brush cutter thing is called please it's totally slipped my mind :think:
after googling sling blade it seems it's something else :think:
Brush axe or Swedish clearing axe.
And this morning...
The kitchen knife is a Victorinox ;)
Nice little file cabinet in the back. Did you get that too? The church key on key ring in the lower right corner is a a handy item to have around.
:whistle: :whistle:
Another vice ::)
:rofl:
I need a vice. :-[I have all three yet it’s a freaking closet, lol,
And a workbench to mount it on.
And a workshop to put the workbench in. :dd:
:whistle: :whistle:

Another vice ::)
:rofl:
Good haul Tony! :like: But I dont see any Vise Grips in the pile? :)Still a vise!
And thats why I consider you a friend Yadda!
Firstly I really should take my glasses when I go booting the Laguiole has a broken back spring :(
The vice is a Record no2 with 3 1/2 inch jaws :tu:
The carving knives are made by Swann Morton they are 'craft' knives, so you replace the blades with whatever blade you need (I need to find some to fit)
The adjustable's are...
Britool 15" made in Sweden (the handle has had a short tube welded in to the hanging hole :think: )
Irega 12" Spain
Bahco 8" Sweden
Thanks Guys :tu:
@David, I nearly bought a pair I now regret not getting them ::)
@Yadda, Ireland? :think:
That vice was very very cheap and in very nice condition so it would have been rude not to buy it :D
The two things on the right with wood handles are brass leather stamps, the numbers 4 and 5 :ahhh just need to find a 1
The pinchers are made by knipex
And another Victorinox kitchen knife.
Interesting jaw modification on that bicycle wrench. What's in the white box upper left corner? ???
That's second one that I have bought and the third one I have ever seen so I think it must be an option when they were new :think: :think:
It's not very interesting to most people but it's a new toroidal transformer 240v to 12v 150w ;) :D (at a very good price)
Stuff I found at the flea market today. ;-)
Orcon Bloody Mary carpet knife.
Roberts vinyl roller
Red Devil putty knife I like type a lot
Craftsman step tool box with trays
I used to have one of those step up tool boxes I can't remember who I gave it to now :think:Probably someone short. :whistle:
Probably someone short. :whistle:
Nice finds, what we’re the two doing, sitting in a bucket of water? There going to need some love!
JR
Nice finds Tony! Those x-large bicycle wrenches and hand clamps are rare! :D
Yep I was very happy with the little wrench :D
Nice storage boxes, can't have enough storage. Like the flag, Rule Brittania! . The leather punch is a winner as is the Bosch trimmer.
Very happy with my haul today, If you can't see the flag is on an old ammo box and I already have the same strimmer running on a Dewalt battery ;)
Those Eclipse padsaw handles are the best!
I think they were but they were also very cheap :DAin’t nothing wrong with cheap purchase, just so long as it’s not a “cheap tool”
:cheers:
That weed eater really folds up really small! Electric weed eaters are kinda useless around here--we'd need hundreds of feet of extension cords; then we'd just end up cutting the cords by accident (we used to have a hedge trimmer like that, and Granddad cut it pretty much every time he used it). I've been meaning to possibly get myself a small cordless chainsaw. I think the batteries now in them are good enough to where they last most small, light duty jobs.
Ain’t nothing wrong with cheap purchase, just so long as it’s not a “cheap tool”
Besides tool clean up is one of the jobs/hobbies, just seeing how good you can make it!

This morning was quiet at the bootie but still managed to find
A pair of Eliot Lucas pliers in very good condition and a pair of CK pipegrips
Also one very sturdy toolbox :tu:
Is that toolbox going on the project pile? Metal trays in its future? The CK pipegrips look very similar to the Knipex version.
Those Lucas combination pliers are neat. Insulated? First I've seen with black handles--most I have seen offered for sale (in the UK) were white.
The hammer head looks like it is just perfect for peening knife pins the way it's made. Compared to the little ball peen in my toolbox, it's different in a lot of ways.
I'm assuming that old toolbox was a machinist's chest with drawers at one point. Still handy to have though.
Interesting box!
JR
Thanks JR it's very heavy and requires some work but I'm happy I picked it up :tu:Cool! The heavier ones are better!
:cheers:
I have only ever seen black insulation on these pliers Cody :think:
Yes I find a lot of these hammers seem 'elongated' I don't know the reason for the difference :think:
The toolbox is also odd as some of it seems handmade :think: ….another project to play with when I get time :tu:
:cheers:
Nice haul, Tony! :tu:
What's that on the bottom middle? ChinaChamp? :think:
Definitely exciting! That Clamp is really sturdy looking. Is it marked? Another Footprint, always a nice find. The King Dick wrench is also a nice addition. Those spot lights are always handy.
Are the Maglites LED or incandescent? While solid, I stopped buying the incandescent ones. A: I can't find the bulbs locally, and they blow on me once a month and B: they're dim.
The Maglights were four pounds each I don't know if that was too much but they are new old stock with advertising and incandescent bulbs
Great selection of knives. The two SAKs should clean up quite easily.
They are quite battered but I knew that when I bought them
Every time I see "King Dick" on a tool, I have to giggle. Dunno why.
Which is the reason I bought that one! :D
Nice lights. Hella is a pretty good brand. I'm looking at something similar to fit a Ford F-250 I'm looking at buying. Granddad had bought it new in 1989, sold it to my Dad in 1998 (we'd just bought a new Dodge Ram 1500), who in 2004 sold it (as he'd just taken delivery of a 2004 F-250 he'd special ordered) to a neighbor. While my Granddad and Dad babied the truck (and it still looked new in 2004), the guy it was sold to, and his adult sons made a mess out of it and tore it up. Dings, rust, body panel damage, ugly decals everywhere and dents are the main problem. That's why my spending limit is $2500 (which is very lowball). A rack (from a wrecked power company truck) was mounted to it behind the cab; and it does have mountings for two work lights and a beacon.

OMG you just find the stuff!
JR
Thanks JR, There was a lot of stuff I didn't buy :rofl:Lol, all I want is two 20” bikes and a nice mountain bike with a spring back end, all cheap so I can build my special trike
And I didn't show the tins of second hand paint, wood drawer knobs and hinges I bought
Alf Mate, It's a Swiss champ but the blades are very stiff beat up and dirty :dwts:
Needs a good soak to see what happens :tu:
This morningThe Opie from the carboot now looks like this ;)
The two things I am happiest about are the clamp (very well made and strong)
and (very top left) the Hella 12v vehicle mounted 'hunting' spotlight :woohoo:

:iagree:
What's it all about Steve :think:
Very interesting :popcorn:
Not sure, it's from a Lumber company, my first thought was that is almost looks like a plumb bob. I'm wondering if it had something threaded that allowed it to hang. :dunno:
Not sure, it's from a Lumber company, my first thought was that is almost looks like a plumb bob. I'm wondering if it had something threaded that allowed it to hang. :dunno:My guess is it screws onto a piece of (sawmilling) machinery.
To me, it looks more like it should be driven into something, and the thread used with a slide hammer for extraction if it gets stuck, but I can't think of a relevant lumber application.
My guess is it screws onto a piece of (sawmilling) machinery.
I think it's more of a promotional or advertizing item for the Lumber company.True - I should have read the words on it.

And to make up for last week the Axe is a 6lb er :cheers:

I have a set of those circlip pliers, Tony. There should be a spring to help keep the pin in place
Six pound, single bit axe? Nice! Tha ceartainly evens out the average axe haul. The telescopic fork may be for campfire cooking marshmallows and frankfurters.
Likin that adjustable wrench in the lower right hand corner. :tu:
Oh my a 6 lb'er. It make me tired just thinking about swinging that axe. :D
I will take a closer look Thanks Rob :salute:
I do have another set with no pin but is still useable (I didn't know what was supposed to be in there)
Spring on the pin, then insert the pin in the pliers with the chosen head, turn the bit at the end 90 degrees :tu:
Nice vise. Needs some TLC, but definitely a keeper.
Striking knife looks solid! Been meaning to pick one up for ages as a work knife--they're not too expensive.
Is the hack knife a Footprint? I saw a Draper the other day that looked too nice to be used as one. That Record will need a lot of time on the wire wheel, not sure if I would have the courage... I'm way too lazy!! By the way, how's the dumbbell vise base doing?
Key?Is it a radiator key, it looks bigger then one,
There's a radiator bleed key attached to the paint tin opener :think:
Is it a radiator key, it looks bigger then one,
JR
The dumbbell vice is getting some use as a vise but mostly its being a heavy weight for gluing :D
:tu: Over here some call that yankee ingenuity others call it southern engineering. Me I just call it gettin ur done :D
A good selection of sockets etc there Mate :tu:
That square is going to take some cleaning up :ahhh
:cheers:
You can't have too many... :D
OMG you find such goodies, I get so jealous, like the skull, but what’s the block under the saw above the hatchet head?
JR
Picked up a few bits this morning
The Estwing hammer weighs about 11/2pounds so 16oz head? I'm not sure
The hammer appears to be the Estwing Model E20S. It is described as a 20 ounce metal shaft rip claw hammer. Real leather cover on the handle. Nice find. They go for $30 US new.
Lots of other nice bits and bobs including the requisite hatchet/axe. :D
Thanks Yadda,
The leather on the hammer needs replacing I reckon as it's very dry and loose
I paid 5pounds for the axe and hammer together so I am happy with that! :D
:cheers:

Yep, wore my mask, stayed to myself and dig up these goodies.Nice!
Today's estate sale buy.I thought you were at a BBQ for a second...
Today's estate sale buy. The vise is a Rigid 500-R. 5 inch jaws. The anvils are inexpensive owner made, but the give me something to bang on. The motor is a GE 1/3 hp.A freaking Ridgid? There so good, I had sooo many pieces of their equipment excluding a tripod, I need a good vice, all I got is some $20 4” the jaws screws don’t even fully tighten, and that one anvil to the left look perfect, I’d so love a nice piece of modified railroad tie!

JR
I thought you were at a BBQ for a second...
It was hot here and the local market was pumping.
Some of the things I wanted were too expensive but I did get these.
The tenon saw is a Disston Canada (emblem on the other side).
He dropped the total to $23NZD (= $15USD).
The railroad anvil isn't flat, but I don't do any smithing so it isn't much of an issue. You'll love this part. The Rigid vise was $7.50. It has copper jaw covers. The original jaw inserts look almost brand new. I paid $20, for the three homemade anvils. I bought the whole lot for $34.25.Oh I so hate you right now :twak:
Oh I so hate you right now :twak:
If we were to look around rather then just sit for 3days trying to sell our own stuff and I came across that vice they would be asking at least $75 or up!
JR
My grandfather used to have his normal workbench, but then he had his motor bench, it had like four nice size motors with a switch box mounted on top to the back but each was a diff setup directly mounted to the motor, I think using a chuck, but one was a wire brush, another a grinder, another a buffing wheel, the unique thing was how they were setup on the bench each was like at a 45° angle / / / / so you had the room to move whatever you were doing..
:D
The vise was still attached to the bench. I had to remove three bolts to get it off. I was the last person on the last day of the sale. No one wants to work for good buys I guess. I'm looking forward to getting the motor running again. It is a General Electric 1/3 hp. I'm hoping to replace the cord and get lucky. For $2.50 it was worth a shot. Looks to be circa 1950's. I have a couple of potential project tools that need a motor.
Nice buys! Hard to go wrong with a Disston saw. I don't imagine you see too many there.Actually, most of the old branded saws I have seen here are Disstons. I have about 5 Disston panel saws awaiting restoration and there were a couple of other Disston tenon/dovetail saws plus a couple of unknown brand ones at the market.

I will know more when I have cleaned it up properly as I did see some dates somewhere...
All old vises and anvils, I think, around here, get sold for scrap metal. I'm wanting to get into bladesmithing, and cannot, for the life of me, find a good anvil.What about a short piece of railway iron (if there's a railway near you)?
What about a short piece of railway iron (if there's a railway near you)?
I might need to make a call to the Norfolk Southern Pocahontas Division (HQ is in the next town over) and see if they have any scrap they could sell/give me. I have a small anvil made from a railroad track Granddad gave me, but I'm gonna have to resurface it. It's pretty badly pitted, and somewhat crude.
Try Amazon, you can get a good 50 pound anvil for a decent price.
Yeah, but how much will it cost in postage?!
:facepalm:

Nice scores.
I'm wondering, should I get a Workmate? The older ones have been tempting me for a number of years now.Yeah, I got a cheap knock-off one a few years ago and it has been useful. If you get two you can support large pieces. I made a sawhorse the same height as my 'Workmate' for doing this.
I'm wondering, should I get a Workmate? The older ones have been tempting me for a number of years now.Back on like 04 when I was working at a Lowe’s they had one on sale, the department found it up on the shelf like waaay up,, and they haven’t been sold for like 2yrs so they had to get rid of it, needless to say I snatched it up for like $8, I don’t remember the name on it but it was a good little unit to have around, little sawhorse but also clamp on what you were working on, totally worth it..
Holy crap, are you like running out of room to put all these tools? And what’s in the bag?
JR
Kennedy tool box, Toolzall Pocketpro mini and some other odds and ends. The pocket pro was $1. :DDang you luck out,,

Gentlemen. :hatsoff: Not bad for $10.Oh heck no! NICE!
What's the markings on the metal-handled tape measure? I have one that's a Western Auto brand, and it's close to 70 years old. I suspect someone else made it, however.
The Craftsman plane is the biggest score, however. I have a Lakeside (said to be Stanley) and it's in horrible shape.
Nice score! I swear you just keep finding all the goodies! Is the stick ruler an inside, outside or combo read?
JR
I have more to learn about folding rules. Both? Maybe? It has measurements on both sides and a brass depth gauge.Nope, an outside, the numbers start on the outside on both sides, some start only on the inside like mine which I can’t find, yet others will do both, it’s basically down to how you hold the ruler to measure, with an outside you’ll be holding, say if you just opened the first 6” the rest would but up to a table unlike an inside, the rest of the ruler would be above the table, if I can find my ruler I’d explain better but idk where it went to?
That is too cool. I was not aware of the difference. I have a half dozen of these and they are all probably outside. I will be checking them and watching for inside rules.Well check them out, you might have a combo, you never know, let me know..
I agree. This is a special place.Ah, I figured you might have one with all the tools you find..
BTW, I checked my rulers. All outside. I posted a pic and a list on the hand tool forum.
Ah, I figured you might have one with all the tools you find..
JR
It’s on the list. Now that I know they exist I will be looking for one.!You have so many, so you really don’t need more but if you spot a combo then I’d go for it so you have something of both worlds, but hey, then again you can’t pass up a deal!

No, another outsider, but it is a brand I didn’t have and at less than 30 cents why not.30 cents for a freaking ridgid? Wow, I so wouldn’t pass that up, ridgid is my brand of tools being plumbing brand, I wish I could find all these good deals!

I'm really liking both! I have never seen a gray Pocket Pal before. Perhaps it had an ad at one point?
Dang some more nice finds, I’m so jealous! Our town just had one but of course we couldn’t do anything because we were getting shipments and someone had to be here,, :-\
JR
Houston is a huge place. The three estate sales I went to were all between 2 and 15 minutes from my house. There were probably 10 to 15 within 30 minutes. I stay close to home.You have to pay to have a sale here, except twice a year the town waves the costs, thus when everyone goes nuts..
I'm really liking both! I have never seen a gray Pocket Pal before. Perhaps it had an ad at one point?
No advertising. Any idea what type knife the other one is?
A pair of those would go good in my mini tool carry, it’s got a pair of channel-locks, pliers and adjustable, but it would be nice to cut a few tools, I made it up so I don’t have to lug the 5gal bucket around!
JR
If you are trading out then you want the DH18 Handiboy. with the slightly large adjustable wrench. Even then the adjustables are tiny.
I'm trying to think:
DH-16's wrench size=4" adjustable DH-18 wrench size=6" adjustable, correct?
Recent auction buy.I bought a Stanley Bloody Mary Knife like yours today a little cleaning, new blade and some 3in1 oil got it working like new.

Nice haul Yadda
The bottom hatchet handle is gorgeous! 😍😍😍
:cheers:
Heck of a haul. Its hard to go wrong with tools. For the price youve paid especially. Seems there is always someone to sell them to or set someone up with. For a brief moment I went down the vintage hand tool hole. What ended up happening was I got many hand tools I actually could use which was great. I keep an eye out for inexpensive vise grips and ratchets sets. I also like to get clamps.
Not much in that regard as the sellers here like to price everything as if they are one off special run tools :twak:
Good haul Y! :ahhh :D
Good scores. :tu:
A No.4 and No.5 are on my list.
Dang,,

It's okay. I'll run out of room eventually.

This is part two of my Estate sale #2 buy Saturday. Payed $5. Looks like new. Kindly three blade multi tool.
Part three of Estate sale #2. And this is the star buy. Spyderco Police pair in a Nite Ize Mini sheath. Another $5. A little wear on the stainless steel scales, but otherwise no real use . These are marked G-2 which from my research indicates they were made 1992-1994ish. I don’t usually buy knives, but this was too good to pass up.
Nice find! I like that chisel set!
JR
Yep, there is a second 1 1/4 chisel so kind of an extended set. I bought the lot for that set.Nice! :tu:

Some really great finds Yadda. Theres a lot of garage sales this weekend in my community. I'll be working but my partner is a pro when it comes to seeking out neat things I like. We'll see if she scores anything.
Are those screwdrivers Stanley?
Yup! :D
JR
Then you made out better than you thought. Check out the prices for those drivers on eBay. :DOh that one wrench is $15-25, so I think I scored..
The Helix adjustable wrench is also a great pickup.
Nice!
My 45170 (S-K in a diamond) is even older than yours is, and it's still going strong. The only thing I had to do was tear it down to remove a combination of grease, grit, and dirt from the mechanism, regrease, and then reassemble. Solid ratchets that aren't that expensive on the secondary market, but will still last several lifetimes if taken care of. Even if the mechanism croaks, S&K will send a rebuild kit at no charge.
I swear, where do you keep all this stuff you find? Cause with everything your not going to have any room to work!
JR
Gonna have to start looking for a vise like that. I do need a decent big vise, but a small one that can be put in different positions was also on the list as I plan to get into knife repair.
You're getting some good tools and accessories Yadda. Those big sledge hammers make nice makeshift anvils.
My Saturday Auction buy. Paid a little over $28. Includes a skateboard multi tool.
If it isn't too much hassle I sure would like a few more pics of that skate tool please.

It was the best tool sale I've been to in a while.I’d say!
Today’s estate sale buys. Lots of NOS or almost NOS tools and some nice rust. Price per piece was around $2.50. 17 pounds. So many great items Craftsman, Stanley, Thorsen, Barcalo, diamond, Crescent, Penncraft, Mossberg, HD Smith and others.

Wow. Nice bunch of tools, but my eyes are zooming in on that Loggerhead. I haven't seen one of those for years!
<sigh> There's just something about a mechanically complex / borderline unusable multitool that just warms my heart. :angel:

Wait, what? You have returned! Good to see you here again.
Kennedy makes (made?) a good toolbox. I bought three of them new, several decades ago. Other than a thick layer of shop dust they are all in pretty good shape. :)
The box was open with no tray, I found the tray on the floor pushed under a shelf. I popped the tray in the box and walked over to the price guy. He looked inside and said $7. :D. The rest of the nicer tools and hardware cost me another $8.
God damn you freaking nail it every time!
JR
The best item is the Case half whittler pocket knife.:iagree: Every one of those items is a winner, though!

I forget who here has some of these, but I smiled and pounced when I noticed two Avon make-up racks at the thrift store this afternoon.
Skil saw? That's an oldie, great project!
OMG what a tank! That should be some fun to clean up, I worked with an older guy back in the day who had a reciprocating saw, all metal actually wasn’t that big, but it was a freaking antique, I told him he should take a pic and write the company and send the pic, they’d prob pay him a pretty penny so they could put it up for display, that’s how freaking clean he kept it!
JR
The arms on the person who used :D.
That is a great haul for an excellent price ! :salute:
And you get to practice some more rust removal too as a bonus :pok: :rofl:
Dang, how come I can’t find anything, like this..
JR
Yeah but the best part was the price, nothing! :neener:
Yet there’s a old wood claw sitting in the other large box in which he’s just giving to a friend, I just might go back out and make it a pair :think:
JR
Can't beat free!Nope, and I went out and got that hammer too, I forget what name it was, yet there was also just a head, the claw was a little on the curved side but hey, can’t beat free!
Nice tool hauls y'all!
I got to the flea market today and brought home a few cutting tools, including a couple of less than common Case knives. Quality scissors are always worth having around.
That things pretty cool! Nice find!
JR
Ha, an inside read stick ruler, finally got one! :clap:
Is it both inside or a inside and outside?

Both inside. I have three now. I found two in the wild.See, I told you sooner or later you’d find them,,

Have you noticed how expensive drill bits are nowYes... they're a bit expensive.
Estate sale buy. I went for quality over quantity. Craftsman 1/4 ratchet, Stanley 199 utility knife, Quick Wedge screw holding screwdriver, and a Walden Worcester 1/4 nut driver with a custom brass handle.
Is that a solid brass handle on the nut driver? Bet that is kinda hefty!
The micro-driver set I bought this weekend was for a specific project I had to do. Dang old chrome book won't run unless it's plugged in. Needed to open it up to access the battery for a changeout. I guess even if I never use it again, I got my couple of dollars worth out of it now.

Kennedy 520 Machinist toolbox. Picked it up at a garage sale. It was the end of the day and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Once I clean it I will show a before and after.

Estate sale buy. S-K ratchet and socket, Diamond Auto Wrench, Lectrolite Tru- Fit DBE wrenches, Snap-on, Craftsman, and Thorsen wrenches. Wiss pinking shears and utility knife, Ka-Bar scissors, the flex head ratchet is a no name product. The pliers in the middle are Pli-Rench made by the Whale Tool Corp. The hammer is a 3 pounder made by Ludell in Italy.Ka-bar scissors? Wiss is a good company, their all I’d use for sheet metal, what’s the wrench on the bottom, kinda looks like it has a hammer backside? Good score!

I purchased this Matco punch and chisel set at an estate sale this weekend. It was full of punches and chisels. I didn't have much time, so I took a flier, hoping the contents were all Matco. When cleaning them, I found 12 Matco, 6 Snap-On, one each Craftsman, Blue Line, and a 1/4 Allen wrench turned down to make a punch. Not bad for $8. The Snap-On punches have a little pitting, and a few punches in both sets have tips that need to be reprofiled
Nice pocket watch. Is it running? Love to see more pics of it.
Dang! What a score!
Nice watch Gdad. Great its working tho not too surprised.
UK peeps - Do you tend to find much in the way of SAKs and general knifey things at car boots these days... or is it all rusty gardening tools, hand-crafted coasters, artisanal fruit preserves, and plastic tat from when they had a baby 15+ years ago?
The fleamarket was good to me today. In fact, I spent my $40 limit in the first row.

I like the small size of the toolbox. Looking at its inventory, you could just about put it in a vehicle and be covered for most needs. Cool score!!
It is a West Germany measuring tape. Unfortunately it is missing the first few inches and the mechanism is broken. :(Bummer, I thought about finding one, then I think it was Stanley came out with some anniversary and I was like perfect, yet I could never find one.

Wow! $6 is a crazy good score!

It was quite dirty, but I was able to make it presentable. Well worth the $1 I paid for it.Looks nice!
Estate sale two weeks ago. Collins Commander axe, Plumb hammer, Craftsman 1980's era 1/2 drive ratchet, -v- mark, bicycle chain repair tool, Stanley nail punch and center punch. ARTISAN punch, three tube cutters, a basin wrench, and a bunch of Craftsman sockets. The average price per item, ignoring the sockets, was $1.50.
Nice pick up. Which reminds me, I bought a basin wrench like that about ten years ago. I didn't have a specific need for it at the time, but it looked really cool, and I figured SURELY a useful application would come along sooner or later for such a unique tool.
A decade-plus later, it's still laying there in my toolbox, looking at me with hopeful eyes every time I open that drawer. :P
:woohoo:
I've actually been studying up on cordless nailers lately,,, but man are they pricey! I just couldn't justify the price for the small wood projects that I have. Needless to say, I was super stocked to pick this one up at the flea market today for $40,,, and it even came with the bigger battery.
$2 for this fine "grit" DMT stone. Tested it on this trapper that I got as part of a lot. First time I've been flea marketing in a while, so nothing crazy, but a good enough deal.
That;s a great score on that stone!!
:salute: VERY nice haul. That mini and those chisels are great. Lots of terrific things in that haul :tu:
The BUCK too and the neat plumb bob. That haul is a really nice assortment of goodness.
Great haul!!!
There's all kinds of goodness on that tailgate! Great haul!
Yadda, You've really been scoring some awesome finds my friend,
So much good stuff in this thread !
:cheers: :tu: :tu:
Love that old green SK box.
My Dad had one of those.
Next to the soapstone holder, I take it the brass one is a round soapstone holder but what’s in the plastic tube? Is it those wax refills? I had one of those wax pens, such a cheesy holder but the wax was great especially the yellow ones! Of course it grew legs and took off,,

I believe.it is very thin soapstone and holder. I'll pull it out and take a closeup. I have been looking for a.regulat.soapstone holder. I picked up some.soapstone.last.year.I had idk how much soapstone, I know I still have a rectangle one and a round holder and some soapstone somewhere, this is what I used to have, it came with like 4diff colors but either the red or yellow was perfect depending on what project you were working on, but it grew legs and took off, I picked up one of these, they were only like a quarter each, but I have yet to try it, red and I think blue,,
Huh, interesting,, that could kinda work for left handers too, no?

Nice, :tu:
