Title: Friday flea market finds
Post by: bunger on February 01, 2013, 10:37:05 AM
Not much at the flea markets this time of year, less vendors, crappy weather, etc.
But this morning was a good day.


A nice Craftsman rubber mallet

That hold down clamp is for use on a drill press, mounts right in the slots on the table. Having a pair of them when drilling certain things that are hard to hold in a vise are a godsend!!

Yeah, I've had one of these for years.
I'm happy to have found this one. Now I have a pair.
The guy selling it had no idea what it was. He thought it was "missing something".

I've got a friend who collects those Bridgeport crating tools. They apparently made quite a variety of different sizes of them.

Yup, my local flea market is a treasure trove of old tools at (mostly) cheap prices.
