Title: Procrastinating.....TH/FRI finds
Post by: dimwittedmoose51 on July 02, 2012, 09:40:44 AM
Not enough hours in the day so I'll use my world's greatest procrastinator line from Steven Wright," I didn't get a birthmark until I was 8".

Thursday I sneaked off while the spouse was at a "women's" meeting and found the stuff in photo number one "on the down side of town"and Friday we both went to an estate sale in Waverly that we showed up at about 15 minutes too late, judging by the tool boxes headed for the street.  I still found some worthy items   and passed on a really old Wards Master Quality 3 1/2" vise @ $10.  Saturday it woulda been $5, but I had to work.

Oily is getting first dibs on the old Craftsman stuff and I'll be going through the shop cleaning all the old Craftsman stuff and sending it south.  I'm thinking that I'll do a post for each photo and add the text there, if that helps the readability and view-ability for the forum members.

You got some good stuff there!  Don't you just hate it when you see tools walking out just  as you arrive at a sale?
