This is a culmination of 3 weeks of garage, yard, and estate sales that I've gone to and just got around to posting it. Ill break this up into each week.
WEEK 1 - This was the week that there is a monthly antique fair, estate and yard sales were a complete bust but the fair, she provides for the empire of dirt!
Stanley No 81 cabinet scraper plane - $4
Miniature Goodall Pratt Hand drill with the bits as well, beautiful shape - $6
Littlestown bench vise - $12 - I already restored it by this point and gave it as a gift to a friend just starting up a little shop for his hobbies so $12 well spent!
Bonney Pitman arm puller - $2
Chisel handle - Free from the guy I bought the scraper plane and hand drill from, good for making copies on my lathe. He said he had a box of 1000 from a hardware store that closed down in the early 2000's and hes been selling them since.
WEEK 2 - Decent week I say so myself, went to an estate sale right next to the mountains outside of the city so none of the tool vultures were there because it was so far, hit some good 50% off deals.
Black and decker router with USA craftsman bits, mint condition, all metal - $12
Replica Zyliss vise, hacksaws, USA chisels, etc - $10
Two Shelton tool kits, never been used - $20 for both
Pay no attention to my secret stash of Fibre Ones!
This week, WEEK 3. Nice deals all around on my end! Quite happy with this week! Sun was baking today so not as many people out at the estate sales but that just means more for me. There was also an estate sale that not many people know about that I got some of the best tools out of. There was also my favorite guy that manages his own private estate sales that always has the best prices.
Stanley Bailey No7 Jointer Plane - $20
Millers Falls No 682 Nearly MINT, stick a trim router in it and make more intricate cuts - $20
Infamous Dremel tool that AvE reviewed - $8
3 Disston Phila and Philadelphia hand saws - $10 for the 3
1/2" hand drill - $8
Husky USA 1/4" tool set WITH A Plumb 5/16" drive WF-8 Ratchet - $4
Adze/scooper, I forget the name if anyone knows it please let me know!, Collins & Co - $4 still has the sticker on it still
Craftsman Circle Y adjustable wrench - $2.50
This cool blue metal hammered box - $10
Craftsman Polisher with Lamb whool pads - $15
Assorted wooden screwdrivers - $8, A little pricier but I actually needed some more phillips head ones
Plumb baby hammer - $2
Craftsman 10" RAS - Its one of the recall ones, gonna cash in the recall and part out the rest, plugged it in and it sounded like the bearings were shot after sitting for so long not being used out in a open barn (was covered in cob webs), plus it would need a big cleaning and restoring so its not really worth it, im also going to part out the rest of it - $25 though so this will make up for spending money on other stuff
Cast Iron griddle - $10
NOT SHOWN - A cool little old reductor that I picked up, no idea what ill use it for but it was need, was only a $1
Hopefully the streak keeps on going, I actually like being able to find things at estate sales, makes the hunt more fun and I love finding cool things!
