gamescastspencer's tool archive/ pickups

[gamescastspencer]

Hello, I have made a few posts, however this thread I can really call my own. This thread is meant to serve as an archive of my vintage tools that i have picked up and their respective purchase prices, and also how they came about. By no means is this for bragging. Also this thread will contain lots of pictures, and I know most of the guys (and girls) love pictures.

The format will be each post will be from each sale/ purchase

Your photos are uploaded to your private Google account. You really ought not use a third party image hosting service, where photo albums expire, but rather upload directly to this thread.

Went to garage sales, as I always do on Saturday and had a pretty good day. $89 got me a Porter Cable A-6 guild saw w/ case, 6 hand screw clamps, 3 big ones, 1 medium, and 2 small. 14 Cincinnati 'C' clamps, 2 clamps in front corner, 10 quick clamps, 1x42 belt sander, and Ryobi oscillating spindle sander, I know what you are thinking, but the OSS is actually made in the U.S.A!

Sorry if photo is sideways...

 

[gamescastspencer]

Sundays flea market finds for $10. S-K 3/8 ratchet that needs a lot of love, a 3" Proto extension, 6" Craftsman BE extension, 2-12" S-K extensions all in 3/8 drive, and a set of bench centers.

Thank you, I think the problem with finding spindle sanders is that they are now gaining popularity for the home market so it is hard to find a nicer used one, besides a Boice-Crane or other industrial equivalent. One draw back of the Ryobi is the table is melamine, so there is a chance of it getting wet and ruined.
