July 24, 201511 yr comment_61534 One of my favourite terms when looking through the yard sale ads.....BARN SALE! Ranks right up there with FREE Was striking out at a bunch of yard sales today...then found a Barn Sale. Spent a whopping $6 on just five items... Chisel needs a new handle. Not sure about the "handle" that wide bladed thing has a double bevel . Bowl gouge might need a bit of work. The price tag on that biggie thing say $5 A Mr. Arthur J. D'Leary & Sons of Chicago, ILL , USA Vise. I checked the screw on it....shines like new! Vise operates smoothly, almost like it just came of the store's shelf. These blew my allowance for the weekend. To bad, I could have spent a $100 in that barn.... Bottom end. Not too bad a morning, after all? Report

July 25, 201511 yr Author comment_61543 Gouge is a Greenlee 1/2" wide lathe chisel. Not quite sure on the two chisel like objects..yet As for the Blacksmith's Vise. Wat too big for the shop. May simply derust it a bit, and sell it on FeeBay. May need to find a box big enough to ship it, though....Should be able to get my $5 back...... Report
July 25, 201511 yr comment_61544 Steve, I'm sure you'll get your $5.00 back. I'm sure shipping it won't be cheap. Or maybe time for a bigger shop. Wait a minute.....You get an allowance? Report
July 29, 201511 yr comment_61613 Nice haul Steve. I have one of those pole vises a guy gave me a while back. Report

August 1, 201511 yr comment_61678 Steve, I think you'll make your $5.00 back. Of course you have to deduct the FeeBay fees. Report
