Welcome. Your garbage ratchet collection picture didn't post. I'm interested in seeing what people throw in the trash back home in NY these days.

 

[Oldsoul]

The pic wont go thru sorry.

Maybe something about an extra “s” to remove?

There is a thread here about repurposed items from others. Maybe you have some projects?

I can't believe what people will put to the curb. Your garbage picks are better than a lot of flea market runs. Great saves all the way around.

PS: Before I forget True Temper made Kelly perfect Hammers so you take good care of that hammer and oil it up in order to keep the rust at bay...Sick people throwing away those tools.

[Oldsoul]

I love my true temper hammer that thing has no nick on the face of it.

 

[Oldsoul]

My buddy works at a transfer station in NJ. That makes you the pretty girl at the dance on a site like this. Endless treasures all for the bargain price of free. I suspect you're going to have a lot new friends shortly.
