The Boss wanted to go out & about this morning...so...$30 into the gas tank..and off we went...
The Boss decided WE needed to go back to one sale...and buy a Mini-Corn Hole Set...Green Bay Packers Logo, 4 green bean bags, and four BRIGHT yellow one..$10
The rest of today's haul...cost less than half of that..
The Disston/ H.K.Porter Coping saw was $1.50...from the same sale as the Corn Hole Set...
And that Brace and bit "set" was $3..
The rest of the "Treasures"? Free!
these 4 items and..
Those Tin Snips..all came from a Moving Sale...Lady ran after me as I was leaving..and handed me all 5 items...and even asked what each was used for...
Nice little drive in the country...now I have to start cleaning things up...
Stay tuned..
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

That "free" Bevel Gauge...is a Craftsman 5N
Coping Saw is a Disston/ HK Porter, will need a new blade, though..
Marking gauge is a Dunlap...with a scale....but missing the locking bolt and nut..steel wheel could use a sharpening, and clean up
Brace drill is a No. 945-10in......bit appears to be a counter sink bit, with a tapered square end for in the chuck..and in need of a good "Clean & Sharpen"
After all..this is a Hand Tool Forum, right...

Looks like you made out pretty well. Tools are better than corn holes any day.

Spent $3 today for one item for me.....$10.50 for 3 items the Boss wanted, seems fair?
This is what I brought home..
A tad rusty...
about 15 minutes, counting walking to and from the shop later...
Back is clean, shiny and flat..
Bevel had a nick in it...that has been fixed...a single, flat 25 degree bevel has been honed. There is now a bare spot on my left forearm...1-1/2" wide...
Didn't find any Maker's markings...other than that nick, no other damage found..
So..the next time I am doing "Knife Walls" like Paul Sellers...I now have a nice, SHARP, wide chisel to use...

Yes, it will indeed shave hair...
Day 2 for this weekend...$10 spent for 4 items..
One drill is a Craftsman..the other is a Millers Falls No. 2500A
Miter Saw?
Saw itself is about...130 yrs old...just a tad bit older than the box..
have already rehabbed the M-F drill..
Wasn't too bad of a day.....when one parks in a driveway, and the first thing I see is a pile of 15 electric drill laying in the grass, because the just wasn't any room left on the 10 tables....plus a tub with 15 handsaws?
Will get to work on the rest of the clean ups...later...
Boss did pick a pair of fancy lamps for her Sofa Table....

Well...on the very last day of August...while at the Labor Day Tractor Fest...spent $32.50 on 2 items...
When a Sammich & Small Soda cost me $13....these 2 decided they just had to come home with me...2 different vendors..2 very different planes..
Yeah....Larger one is a Stanley No. 6c, Type 8....little guy (ain't he cute!) is a Stanley No. 3, type 15...was too worried about a missing lever cap for it..
Just so happens, I have a Nickel Plated spare...
Not too hateful of a day?

Tri-State Steam Engine and Tractor Show- Portland, IN
Most of my haul here. Yankee screwdriver was a buck. Bell Systems brace was like $3, like I need another brace but couldn't pass for $3. The miter saw was like $4 and still pretty sharp. The rest of the stuff weren't really any screaming deals, but stuff I needed (wanted).
Box-o-planes- $20. Look to be user made. My first and only moulding planes but for $20 I couldn't say no.
Nothing special about this wrench, just cleaned her up a bit before putting into service.
I should really count the gas, day off work, admission into event, refreshments, and golf cart rental into the purchase price of all of my loot but then I wouldn't have any 'deals' to brag about.
