Well, second weekend was a tad bit better. One sale today, in spite of the high winds.. There was a 1/2" pipe clamp laying under the shovels. Full tool boxes were $30..meh Had a few items leaning on the barn.. Already have one of those...I did pick up a box lot of .."stuff"....once I got it home... Lot of the screwdrivers were Torx. Anyone need a saw blade? Or, some sand paper? There was a plastic case in the mess, too.. Might need a little clean up? Closer look inside. Red handle is to a Plumb Ball Pean hammer. Estwing mason's chisel..not sure about the side handle for a drill, or that mitre gauge, big Visegrips pliers is soaking in WD40...some wrenches are Craftsman...some are junkers/loaners. Wind had cleaned a lot of the ashes out of the fire pit...found two items.. Grrrr, these two got roasted. Seymour Smith & Sons spokeshave ( also outside, soaking) and the remains of my Veritas MK1 honing Guide....$40 when new.. Box lot was $5. Sale is until this Saturday. IF they don't blow away...well it was a start.

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?
