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.
