Now's up !!!

Time for more Lays !!!

 

Looks wonderful, have fun.

 

Glad u r interested, I’ll have to take some photos. The sellers at such events usually don’t mind but many don’t want their faces plastered all over the web.

 

Ok was there for abt 90 min, fortunately arrived before some of the dealers who were buying too. Don’t have time or a place to lay my prizes out yet, maybe this wk, but here they are piled in the truck on top of the rigging gear I’ll use again this wk. Highlights include a miniature anvil collection, odd adjustable wrench collection, drawknife collection, Mitutoyo (sp?) mechanical/digital micrometer, shop-made copper machinists brush Oiler. Other stuff includes tools for my own use. Spent about $200. for stuff that would bring some multiple of that if sold in ideal circumstances.

 

I love the miniature anvils, could use one of those.

 

I'm glad I'm not related to you. Someone's going to have a year's worth of work to sort out all this stuff when you're gone!!

 

You have no idea; will probably take a team.

Anyway, here’s the rig I took to rescue the lathe-some larger tools on the trailer and dozens of smaller ones in the truck. The rented trailer is pretty interesting, has a battery that recharges by solar power. When you push a button the trailer bed motors downward until it is on the ground, and after loading, returns to travel height the same way. I’ve used them a few times. I have a saved file containing the checklist of all the tools etc. I took to that rigging job, if anyone’s curious I’ll paste-post it.
