For the past few years, I have been bringing tools home, sometimes in group finds.  I love my old tools and think some of the fun is in the hunt for me.  So, I recently have come to the realization that my shop is getting a bit too full for normal function and I am tiring of shipping one at a time so I sorted some items and put this all up for sale.  Many good complete units and tons of parts too!  They all sold in a single lot,  I did well on them, and I can find myself in the shop again, too!  Now dont anyone worry about me! I still have plenty of planes to keep me busy.  And did I mention that we were garage sale prowling on Friday!  The last two pictures are new finds!  A nice Buck Bros chisel plus two others, double bit axe, leaf blower to clean the shop, and a Stanley marking gauge (90 I believe) plus the lumber you see.  Yes!  You can buy Walnut lumber at a garage sale albeit not often!  Everything in the last two pictures for 21 bucks!  It was our annual Fathers Day excursion!  Love the hunt and glad to have a little time to post tonight.  Take care all.

You certainly had a nice pile of rust. Sounds like things worked out exactly as you wanted...congrats!

And the hunt continues.....  Sounds like you are having plenty of fun.

Nice score on the walnut!

We must be brothers by different parents...the hunt for the unknown or unexpected can be exhilarating (& addicting).

Alas, you have more courage than I to part with the collection as you did...of course the person of "that find" probably needed oxygen!

Great score on the walnut...I've yet to be that lucky at a garage/yard sale.
