It followed me home thread

Between the wife making plans and work I haven't been able to make any auctions this summer. I finally made it to one today. It was crowded and very hot. The only thing I bought was a pair of old cruiser bikes. I've been looking for a pair to take with us when we go camping. These were dirty but looked to be in good shape. They were a his and hers set with matching accessories. I left the auction and was headed to Lowe's to get a 2x12 to make a work bench top. On the way I stopped at an estate sale that was wrapping up. I spotted a couple of treated 2x12's and a 2x4 in the basement. It was the exact lengths that I needed for the work bench. I gathered up a few more items and they told me $5 for all of it. I got some good stuff that I know I will put to use.
Everything on the tailgate was from the $5 estate sale purchase.
A few minutes with a wet rag had the bikes looking good. When the wife got home we took them for a test ride. Everything works good on them. They are Huffy Good Vibrations.
According to the odometer they have low miles.

My dad died at age 100, this past weekend I looked through his shop equipment. There was stuff packed in boxes and tons of old tools, even a fairly new band saw. I doubt if he had anything I didn't already have so I left almost everything for my brother to sort through and dispose of.
He did have a nice drawknife and one thing I didn't have already, a froe. The drawknife is a Dunlap in really good shape, it should clean up really well. the froe is kinda' rough but I will have to refurbish it because it is a family tool. Of course these had to follow me home.

Dunlap made a very solid draw knife. That's a nice froe. Its neat you get to keep them in the family.
