Score du jour - Bill_Houghton - 04-03-2016
Yesterday, I stopped by a contractor's retirement sale on the way to the hardware and grocery stores. Got a few items for very low prices, and even managed to resist a couple of things.
Today, his CL ad said "everything's free," so of course I stopped back. Most of what I got will be headed to the Habitat ReStore, but I did pick up a set of Starrett 50A trammel points, like this but with more patina:
They even came with a nice 36" aluminum bar, a perfect fit for the clamp opening. The pencil holder is missing, alas. But the savings from the $136 retail price was pretty decent.

Nice. Starrett will sell you the pencil holder for a reasonable price; its handy to have.

Nice score, Bill! I'm not sure I would have been inclined to resist anything.
