Another auction score, big one.

[woodtickgreg]

A box of pastors, ever break one and need a new replacement? I probably have it, lol.

These are very cool examples of the heavy duty vintage ones. Some with wood wheels, and the metal wheel ones are cool.

Now this was a maker that was confident in there product. These are quality hd casters. Remember when manufacturers proudly put there name on a product? Now it just says made in china.

This completes the pallet. But there was a couple smaller lots o got at the same auction. I'll show those next.

 

[woodtickgreg]

This lot said brass and shim stock. I was interested in the shim stock. Any machinist knows what that stuff cost. I gave $75.00 for it and that was a deal. But then it came with all this other stuff.

That one brown box of brass shim stock would cost more than 75 bucks around here, but there was a bunch more. Stainless and brass.

A good assortment.

Other box that came with the shims. Switch plate and electrical covers. Some stainless.

This will go in my electrical stash!

This is some vintage cabinet knob backers. Mostly brass, some stainless, some chrome. Almost all new and in the original boxes. Some have been water damaged but will either get cleaned up or scrapped.

Anybody need Some? I'll sell most of them.

This next lot was cool. All I wanted was the dealt drill, got the lot for $14.00 but there was some other cool finds in the bucket and box

The drill is in very good shape, will be useful in the wood shop or around the house when I forget to charge the cordless. A corded drill still has it's uses. 3/8" keyless chuck.

A corded impact gun, 1/2" cheap chinese pos but it works.

A sheet metal punch kit, dies where missing.

Yay, found the dies at the bottom of the cardboard box. A couple are broken. I can probably get a replacement pack for it from the manufacturer.

Some has chunks for making cutters.

Socket head capscrew counterbores. Kinda big for me so probably try and sell theses.

Large not taps, I'll sell these, may have to eBay them. The big one is 1 3/16"

Carbide boring bars, I didn't have many of these, they will be useful on the metal lathe.

There's more from this lot still.

 

[woodtickgreg]

A couple of drill chucks.
This one is pretty well used but still works.

This is a nice small one, Jacobs brand, light surface rust, really good shape actually. I'll keep tis one. It'll clean up easy. 0 to 1/4"



It really is 0 inch, closes up nice and tight.

A pipe thread die, I'll sell this.

A couple more items coming yet.

 

[woodtickgreg]

I seem to be getting a collection of sharpening stones, got another one, lol.
And here's the jewel of the whole lot, I bet no one knew it was in there. Nice little English test indicator! This will be useful in the metal shop. A little slow, probably just needs a cleaning and re oiling. But it works.

I was very excited to find this in the box.

And all I wanted was the drill for 14 bucks. Well that completes this auction score. I think I spent about 200 bucks total with fees and all, hoping to sell enough of the stuff I don't need or want you recoup my money.

A couple weeks ago there was an ad on CL had a lumber rack, plywood cart, a stack if walnut, cherry and white oak. I went to check it out because @Bean_counter wanted the rack and cart. We decided to split the wood assuming there wasn't that much whit oak, neither wanted that. Bought it really cheap, the walnut is beautiful 12-14" wide, 5 to 8' lengths, cherry same. There wasn't that much white oak. I planed some of it yesterday, all rough milled. Here is a sample:


Beautiful tight curled ambrosia maple!!!!

 

[woodtickgreg]

Wow Tony! I bet you where pretty excited to see that come out of the planer, I know I would be. That pegs the way cool meter! I would take the white oak, red oak is very plentiful around here but not so much on the white, I have some but it's harder to come across or should I say just not as common as the red.
Beautiful maple though. Maple and Walnut are a couple of my faves, like me some cherry too! Congratulations to you guys!

Greg, if you want some WO let me know. I've got enough to share when you're ready. Tony

Thank you Tony, that's a nice offer. But I do have a couple logs of it milled that I am saving for a boat build one day, and I do come across it from time to time. I guess I was mostly stating that oak is a wood that is often looked down on and I really don't understand why. It's a plentiful renewable resource here in the states, it's strong both red and white, the white being more water resistant and not open pored. So I was saying that you are fortunate to have gotten some oak with that stash too!

 

[Tony]

I don't look down on it, I just have plenty!!

 

[woodtickgreg]

I don't look down on it, I just have plenty!!

Then you need to get busy and make some stuff! lol.

[woodtickgreg]

That's a start, lol. White oak only for cutting boards though because of the closed pores. But I think you know that.

Trust me,I know I have to get moving. Mike and I are doing the Texas Country Reporter festival in October, 60,000 people attend every year, big deal. I plan to have at least 100 cutting boards, plus other stuff. Tony
