Went to several garage sales this morning, started slow, a few $1. items (Craftsman 20' tape rule, multy-tool, etc.)
The wife went on a buying spree for the grandkids.. (checked out last weeks "Moving sale", but they must have moved) then last place off of "Von Hamm Young's" property.. found some OLD tools, this family's great Grandpa was a blacksmith way back when.. they were bringing out tools as they could from his work shop. I Check in back, had very old wall mounted hand-crank drill press, Blacksmith vice with leg in concrete, old hand crank (14") grinding wheel with seat. and this was just outside the door to his shop.. the grandson would go in back, load up a box with tools, bring it to the garage, put it out for display, try to price them, then go back for more tools.. I must have been there 3 hours waiting for each new box of tools, then grabbing what I wanted to put aside.. finally he got tired, said that's all.. Got set of 28 brace drills, drill extension, Stanley Brace & angled Brace?, 2x 12" Draw Knifes, blacksmith tongs, nipper, hammer, 2 saw-sets, some special pliers, 2x 8" C-clamps, bunch of measuring tools, dividers, micks, tapered wedge scale, In-lbs torque wrench USAF. 5-180 in/lbs., bunch of hammer drill bits. metal hole plug cutters, Aluminum pipe wrench (Ampco?), a 8" monkey, and a bunch of other tools with a wooden tool box.. ended up paying $100 for everything.. They were happy.. I didn't feel too bad..
the angle brace had tape over the gearing, but when I removed tape, looked OK. guess tape was just padding to protect something..
