And almost all those treasures are cleaned up, and put away....time to go out and about again.

 

One yard sale said "TOOLS", so we motored over there to check it out.....four rusty handsaws, and a few other odds & ends....

Next one said ...TENT SALE!     After taking the Boss to another sale she liked, we meandered along until we saw a tent set up.....three of them in fact.    Three rows of tables of TOOLS!!

 

Well, some of the stuff was a bit out of my price range, so I wandered around in the  $1 bins areas.......then while coasting along in the high priced stuff ( Stanley #6c @ $45)  found a decent enough chisel, sans handle.  Dug around in the box a bit....hey, a handle!    Put the two together, and staggered over to pay for my big handful, and the boss's finds....

Irwin Auger bits @ $1 each.   The T H Witherby 1/2" chisel was  a $5 affair.    Bits were from a #4 up to a #18 size.  I had to pick through almost 50 bits  until I had a decent set. 

Now, this sale is running all this weekend.   If  I don't get back there with more cash, I can save up until Labor day, as he will be down at the Tractor Fest in West Liberty,OH.  

There is supposed to be a couple more sales tomorrow and Saturday.......stay tuned...

 

BTW:  I turned me nose up at a fully loaded machinist's tool chest, solid oak, brand name  starts with a "G"......@ $200.00?   Ah, not today...

 

Those pipe wrenches Morris likes?  Well I counted 8 more just like it, other than the braze work.   There was, stashed amongst the normal braces...a Millers falls 6" sweep brace...$25 was a bit too steep today....

Nice haul again Steve!

Awesome chisel and handle you got there. Man I gotta tell you guys, I am envious, ready to jump a plane right now!
