Today's Craigslist lunchtime deal. Gawd, I love CL! Lady wanted $100 for the bench grinder and $15 for the 'clamps'. I offered $75 for both and asked her to counter. She was happy with the $75. The grinder, smooth and quiet, unlike the 1HP Crapsman I currently own. I couldn't tell the brand...

Thanks! The 'Craftsman' logo looks old, anyone date it for me? The feeler gauge is from the 60s, I think. The guy had a CL ad for a garage sale with tools, antiques and primitives. Turns out he's a collector that mainly travels to shows but opens up his barn once a year, and I was lucky...

Oh yeah, $10 for all three.

Shiny things caught my eye this weekend. Un-branded chisel, lightly used. it was almost as sharp as a wood chisel! Got a little hot on one corner tho. The Bonney feeler gauges look like they've never been used. And the 1" - 2" Crafstman mic's just jumped in my hand!

That's jus how we roll! :thumbup:

Yeah, I know. I think he started out with two. Prolly all the 'good' stuff went in the first barrel. The thing that caught my eye was the black handled hacksaw. I have one just like it, wobbly handle and all! I'm kinda surprised he hasn't lowered the price after all this time. :dunno:

Then there's this... 55 gallon drum full of tools - $250 (Columbus) Make an offer. Everything from ratchets to wrenches to saws, and sockets. Many of the tools care brand new. Call for more info. http://columbus.craigslist.org/tld/4422236540.html $250 seems a little ambitious, I'm...

Thanks Nine-Fo! This sale was basically an open door to a stuff filled garage, nothing sorted or priced. That was the first thing that caught my eye, so I grabbed it and carried around while I did the rest of my 'shopping'! BTW, your work is very inspiring. Thanks Jake, I can see you're a...

Re: HELP, and tilers out there? +1 on johnbridge.com. I demo-ed our shower and re-did it in marble. This guy has a good site as well. http://floorelf.com Both sites are good with responding to questions.

Thanks from up-over... that doesn't sound right! My wife's, sister's MIL was a war bride from Adelaide. She was a such lovely person and had the sweetest little Aussie accent. Her pies were to die for!

It's really in great shape. The only real marks are where the anvil would have been if it had one. A bunch of small punch marks and not much of anything else. Nope, the Bud was done waaaay before the pic was snapped. It's kind of a disgusting sound, think 70's pr0n.

Thanks Jim. Buckeye Lake, Zanesville, Cambridge, ?

Mandatory vise pic. Here's what brought me to this site. Found this Craftsman 5161 at a garage sale last year for $10. Still a few flecks of the original blue/grey paint can be seen, but I'm just gonna wipe it down and enjoy the patina. It was so well 'greased' that you can hear it slurp...

Thanks for the welcome! Love driving through rural Illinois, urban areas not so much. Stache

Umm, yeah. Something like that. Gonna be in that area Saturday and was seeing what was around. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Long time listener, first time caller. Addicted to old tools, old machines and old ladies! Well, at least mine (the old lady, that is)! Looking forward to the give and take of an awesome forum.
