A few weeks ago I won a few items in an online auction. Two of the air tools are Ingersoll Rand. I say won because of the price too. All this for $45.00. Loving it.

A fellow that was not only a farmer, but worked to restore farm items, and also fixed up and sold cars and trucks....was having an "Estate Sale/Auction today... Located on a hilltop, over-looking the Great Miami River in DeGraff, OH. Parking was....the usual...found an old farm lane to a house that USED to be on the property ( along with a dozen other people) and parked the van.....found out I was only half way up the hill....to get TO the auction, I had to "take the high ground" ....Number on my bidding card was almost 400 ( 398!) walked around awhile....found a pile of saws laying on the wet grass. Had to stand my ground, as others were walking through and OVER things. Almost needed a flak vest and steel toed boots! Wind was a steady 20mph, and it was about 40 degrees out...two Auctioneers were going at the same time, different areas. Whew, They finally made their way to where I was standing firm....He "packaged the 11 saws into a single item...then I got into a bidding war....for the wet and rusty saws.....won it @ $20! sheesh! Some of the saws were prunning saw (2) and there were the usual "Meat saws" (4) decided I didn't need those, so I tossed them back into the auction. Then it was off to find a few yard sales, and raid a couple Antique stores...meh...very slim pickens....The place up in Huntsville, OH has the "Junk in the Box" dug around there a bit, and found two whole items...WOW! That little Handyman eggbeater, with an 1/8" brad point bit. And that screwdriver. The metal framed "saw" was hidden under the saws...Bonus? There was a 20" "DeVille" brand saw.. Will be a decent enough Toolbox saw. which left 5 full sized hand saws. Atkins No. 59, 8ppi, 26" long...later model...yeah, these were pretty dirty..but, all the plates were straight as can be, and sharp! Couple warranted Superior saws...one seems to be a D-7 style ( forgot to get a picture of the No. 59...this is the WS/ D-7..ooops) And this Mystery saw....There was also a Craftsman clone of a D-23.. Late 50s model. Then there was a Disston & Sons D-8, 10 ppi, 26" long crooscut.. That top bolt is a replacement Mr. Cook did. All the rest are Brass, top one is steel, and rusted solid. Plate is arrow straight, and them tiny teeth are very sharp. Legs are a bit crampy tonight, put a few "miles" on them. Will update as I rehab these treasures...at least the "good" ones...

There is an auction this Saturday that features a whole lot of what excites us. There's probably 20,000 - 30,000 BF of Walnut, cherry, beech, oak and bass wood up for grabs. I was fortunate enough to have bought a couple hundred board feet of the cherry and it measures at about 10% moisture content. It has all been stickered for about 15 years. If you're close to Indiana, bring a trailer. https://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/3068107.html?kwd=&zip=47348&category=0

Light, misty rain, and a bit of a breeze. 7 blocks one way. Then spent the rest of the morning STANDING around....only had $7 to spend. First item that came up that I thought I could bid on? A very SMALL Coffin smoother, almost the size of a block plane.....Bids shot right past the $7 max.....FAST.... ok, Plan B Watched for awhile, collectable cars, firearms, mini-mill, mini lathe( H-F one) electric hand drills, clamps, screwdrivers, and files.....Almost done with the stuff IN the garage, finally won a bid...."Choice" of four planes. $4 More on the choice plane later. Auction moved outside, still COLD, misty, but the breeze was dying down from hurricane levels. Watched a H-F 40" long lathe go for ....$25 benchtop drill press about the same. a few tool chests, a dust collector ($35) a craftsman 10" tablesaw ( like mine) went for $25. A snading center, with the 6" wide belt and the disc...$25 Finally on to the"box lots".....Had a box I wanted.....but I should have moved one item to another box...drat. Someone wanted THAT item. Outbid, but got choice of the others.....$3. Paid my bill...$7 total. And walked back home. Still had that #@$#@#$ misty rain. Didn't help to go under the trees, they were shaky off big drops. So, what did I come home with, besides an empty pocket? at least it all fit in one, soggy box. Had a second "lid" to try and keep things dry....maybe. The plane? A rusty Capewell No.4 With a steel frog, no less. Ok, we can rehab that, I think Note those shavings behind it? To think, I did NOT remove the frog, Royal PITA to do that. Best leave it alone. Wood was cleaned up, BLO wiped on/off. Sides sanded clean, sole was even flat, no cracks or pitting. The only part that really needed a lot of work? the chipbreaker was a bear to tune. Back upstairs, time to sort through the junk, and pick the goodies out The ruler way in the back is marked as a Sterritt (sp), haven't cleaned the other one up, yet. Center finders, and an angle finder, and a sanding block ( wagner brand??) next pile i did find a third Acid brush. Files for saws, Drag Link socket, allen wrench, a few drill bits, couple of Oak Handles, a SMALL tap, and that Hyde putty knife. The BIG file is magnetic...next Couple of cutting discs ( have the air tool for them) and a scriber from the MIA combo square. The rest of the box? Lots of bolts and screw, a few hose clamps, a brass threaded pipe(??)and other assorted stuff. In the first picture? You'll notice a few battery terminal cleaners ( 3!!) and a bronze "token". Token is from AutoZone, and is for checking/setting spark plug gaps. A few other things were just tossed...bad junk. Well, not too bad...for just $7? And a bit of walking ( cardio?) neede to add this to my morning coffee... Well...since I missed out on a Bailey #3, I guess this will just have to make do....maybe?
