Today's Take....

[chips&more]

I can hear the vacuum leak all the way in California!

 

[Heckle and Jeckle]

So when did "need" ever count for anything? I'm sure you don't need most of that stuff!!! Send it my way!
Nice haul. We're gonna have to hear that price though...no getting outa it.

I would not hold my breath.....

Looks like a lifetime of tool purchases. Sounds like you bought from the (retired?) machinist himself rather than his heirs; I'm sure he feels better knowing that his stuff will be put to good use and taken care of.

I guess it's my turn......

This is what you can get if you beat the garage sale this weekend:


















As you can see, I have not even gone through all of it yet. What you see is almost all USA, new, or like new drills, taps, end mills, lots of tool steel (mostly cobalt) and Starrett, Brown and Sharp.....all good stuff. The toolboxes are a mix of Kennedy and Craftsman back when they were made by the same factory. Got keys to everything, and there is still some stuff in the boxes. There is a smattering of misc raw materials also mixed in. Not much, but some copper and good tool steel. Price? I can't tell ya, you guys would send the cops down here.

Hope these pics work, I couldn't get our uploader to cooperate, so I went to my photobucket account. If they don't, bear with me and I'll get them up somehow.

Oh, and he has mics too, but I didn't need them. Starrett 436 for the most part. We're negotiating on some gear measuring instruments now.

I thought that I done well at an estate sale yesterday, Darex M5 drill sharpener, quick set vise and misc starred scales for under 50 bucks. Your haul makes me feel like I payed too much.

Don't seem to come across any thing like that here in the retirement state of Florida; and yes you suck. P.S. enjoy!!

I think You just sucked all the tools up as far as California.

I'll bet there isn't anything there you did NEED, perhaps could use, though.

Edit: i'd have done the same thing, for sure.

Well, to be honest, I do start feeling a little bit guilty after having 3 of some things.......so I stop lol

I figure it just makes stuff easier to find when I need it. If I can't find one, I'll find one of the others hidden around here.
