Car boot finds

[Yadda]

 

You do have to sift through a lot of old smurf to find these ‘gems’ 

I would think that process would be half of the fun.LOL.

You are right TG, and talking with some of the sellers can fun (or  ) 

Not to mention collecting all the rust... to the point of all of it collapsing into a singularity...

   You’re saying I could go in to the garage one day and disappear up my own wormhole?

No one should disappear up their own wormhole....

Went to the bootie this morning, got a bit damp 
Also got myself a new Mattock, a hacking knife and new shop brush (the plastic ones melt  )

"If you see any second hand shops knives Please, the rustier the better"
They didn’t see any so asked family and friends got any old knives?

Really  nice ones. All quality tools.

Second from top looks like one that got caught in my bicyckles wheel,  and shattered to three pieces when i was young.

Bottom one looks like one that my father bought me when i was young, and my brother lost it in the woods.

[Sparky415]

I think 4 moras, the top and the yellow ones are not,
Some of them need a lot of attention, should keep me out of trouble for sometime 

Ooh and the drink top left
Kinda pinetar, kinda medicine, kinda burns on the way down.... But I could get used to it 

Tastes a bit like the sweets you kindly sent to me Crow 

[Crow]

Yes, it is same stuff, but that one has alcohol in it... If you want more candies, i could send you some more...

Cool - I'm picking up one of Hiraethus's baboons at the meet as well so it'll be a packed journey back in my noddy car.

Thanks Mate but I've found you can get them online here

Nice hall Sparky you will get some shop time in playing with your new toys. I have rehabbing going to 2 or three flea markets a week. I back and neck issues and now a nerve condition they keep backing down my meds slowly. So once a month my pain increases. So far I have been able to walk it  off. They say it will go away I hope they are right or it will be Oxycodone and a wheelchair for me. Anyhow I have been bringing  home a lot of stuff to play with. Last week I bought an  Antique knee kicker, a Barlow pocket knife for 50 cents and an old diamond super wide 8in crescent wrench for 2 bucks. Going out to the flea market this morning wish me luck.

[Sparky415]

Good luck with your health Mike 
I also find it’s a good excuse for getting up early on a Sunday morning
You will have to post pictures of your finds Mate especially the Antique knee kicker as I have no idea what one is 

 

[Mike 56]

Sparky, I am a retired carpet layer you use knee kickers to install carpet I will try to get pic up today.

Ah OK I've seen them being used 
How are your knees Mate? 

[Mike 56]

Sparky Here are some pics of the stuff I have been buying cheep. The knee kicker I bought to hang on the wall. The knee pad on it is hard as a rock it was no better when it was new as for my knees they are shot.

The knee kicker looks very much like the ones I have seen before except they had a square black pad

You scored a great bunch of stuff there Mike inc that ‘dolphin’ stanley knife and love that Barlow 

[David]

Zed, I layed floors for 32yr I started out laying carpet then I was taught how to lay linoleum/ vinyl flooring. Then hardwood floors became big I spend the last 17yrs laying them. I kept my hand tools and seam iron I gave my nephew the rest of my flooring tools.
