Patriot Picking in June

[John Moody]

I was out the other afternoon and drove by a place getting ready for a yard sale. Got out and walked up and was told to look around.

 

I saw this great looking old tool chest under a table and looked at the price. I ask them if this was correct? Really $5.00 for the chest and the contents.

 

 

Right off I could see a wooden moulding plane and all kind of bits for a bit and brace drill.

 

 

There were some small rulers in still in the boxes and a jar of corks.

 

 

It had a little hidden tray that you pull up and it had a old cast plumb bob and several other items.

 

Well for $5.00 I had to take it home and Steve it didn't come from Ohio while I was passing through there.

 

I love finding old treasures. The lady told me it was her grandfathers old tool chest. I told her I was a woodworker and she said well it was meant to be that you would stop and get it.

Curious about the tool that resembles a pipe wrench?

[John Moody]

Me too Lew. I haven't had a chance to look it over yet but I will.

[Ron Dudelston]

I believe that is a Model T utility wrench.  What's wrapped up in the linen cloth?

All sorts of small files.
