It needs it.
But it's going to be sweet when it's done...
Yea, it has a thick layer of house paint. It spins so smooth though, very quiet.

Oh my!
That looks like something you would see sitting left abandoned in an old government facility 50+ years ago.
I want to see before / after pic's on this one.
Cheers

Didn't start the day out with the intention hitting any sales, was planning on four wheeler riding, but my buddy canceled, right after I had loaded up and was on the way.
So what to do with all this new free time? Search the CL adds!
The add was selling Machinest tools, so that was all I needed, very basic add.
It was basically a estate sale, less the people!
On to the stuff.
I was looking at a box of spray cans, lube, etc., told me to,take whatever I wanted. I told them I'd take whatever they had and they started loading in my truck while I was making a deal on the tools.
They just about filled the back of my truck. Only had one box of old non usable cans, the rest I put away. Most of the spray paint is Rustoelum and full cans.
I started filling a box with hand tools. There was a lot of drill bits, all in Huot indexes. I ended up with two 115 piece combo boxes, fractional, letter and number bits, all USA.
A handful of needle nose pliers, Made in Dewitt vice grips, 2 20" Bessy welding clamps, older CM logo 1/2" torque wrench, Indestro adjustable, Channeloks, Diamond pliers, putty knifes, and some misc.
Nice drawer organizer with decent hardware, brown and sharpe combo square.
Oh, I almost forgot, a 4" Wilton and a 1/2 HP 6" CM 257 series block grinder with brand new wheels, a green and a brown.
All for $80, all I had.
I'm going back tomorrow after I scrape some more cash up. We just paid property taxes and a insurance, so cash is limited.

I'll be sure to make a thread Jim. The base is very "art deco".

Awesome styling of the base and guards. Even the switch plate is decorative. This will look great when restored. Please post some after pics.
You **** for that haul!!!

cbacres, major suckage.
I buy consumables like crazy at every yard sale and estate sale I go to.
From ziploc bags and tinfoil, to wood finish, WD40 and oils, etc. Boiled linseed oil is $22 a gallon new! Yes, I'll grab the 1/2 full one at the yard sale for a dollar!

Dave, I'm with you. There was 1/2 gallon Acetone, never seize, some old Dem Kote penetrating spray in this haul. The consumables was the best I've done ever.
The vise and drill bits made my day.

Thanks guys. It's a nice wrapup for the year.
All the tools are in great shape, this guy really took care of his stuff.
I left behind a Kennedy 5 drawer box.
The Machinest tools were way beyond anything I would use. They were in a pristine Gerstner box. I never have seen intermediate Gerstner before today.
They were asking $ 2500 for them and the tools.

Last industrial tool auction of the year was this past week. I finally got pictures of the lots I was successful with. Lucky for me, bidding was down due to the holiday season.

Hi guys, sorry no pics at this moment, but can anyone direct me to an expert on air hose reels? Picked a Stewart Warner that is, I believe, from the 50s but cant find anything else on it. I got this and a Greenerd #3 for $90. Thanks

Stopped by the scrap yard yesterday and they had this 3-1/2" Columbian 203-1/2. Cost was $12.60 at $0.35 per lb. I was surprised at how good a condition it is in. Just needs cleaned up and a fresh coat of paint. About three weeks ago, I was at an auction and picked up this 5" Craftsman 506-51811. Has a very small chip on the dynamic. Got it and the 34" x 36" x 1/4" steel plate it was bolted to for $5 dollars. No one else bid on it.

Yeah, but for all those scores, very few post about the "near misses", and I've had three misses in less than a week, and no vise score to show for it...

Some serious scores going on here!
I'm just sitting around working around the house and checking every so often for sales on craigslist.

Thanks Jeff.
Outlaw, seems like just last week you started this thread. Man did this year fly by. It's beena good year though. Got my lathe, just need a little more tooling. I think I can back off the vises and block grinders................ when they pry my iPad with " estate sales.net " page out of my cold dead hands.

Hmmm, I think I nominate Nine!
I was going to wait until after x-mas to bring the topic up.
I 2nd the nomination of the esteemed member from Baton Rouge to open the 2015 Garage Sale Thread. I've planned on putting his name in the hat ever since he scored that Mag Drill.
