I put those white oak boards on craigslist and sold them today for a pretty good profit.  Enough to fund some more auction trips next month.

I picked up this small skillet for $3.50 at an antique store in town. I wanted something cheap to test out in my new electrolysis tank.

Are you using the tank to get rid of rust?

This was my Great Uncles bandsaw. Many years ago we fixed it up for him and got it working tip-top. He was very happy with it and wanted to know what he owed us for it. We really loved this old feller and couldn't charge him anything for it and told him so. He thanked us and told us when he passed away it was ours. Well here it is. It's not a real big saw not even sure if I could rough a bow out with it and it needs to be fixed up again. I definitely want to get it going again. It's a old Craftsmen I think. It actually has the guide for the rollers broken and can't seem to find original parts. Trying to cobble something together.

Here is the original broken guide. Anyone have any ideas where to get one?

Well this is what we cobbled together. It seems to kinda work. Might not be the handiest if you where changing different blades a lot, but this will cut.

That is a cool old saw BJ.  It's handy to have a smaller saw with a finer blade for cutting out overlay material, arrow shafts, and handles.  Good job on the repair job.

I went to an auction today and came home with some junk.  I spent $30 on all of it.  Stuff was going super cheap.  It's a good thing I drove my little work car.  If I had my truck I would have probably came home with to much stuff.  Here are some pictures of some of the items that followed me home. 




I got a brand new air brush kit with the compressor for $1.  I found a couple stainless steel Craftsman ratchets in the bottom of a $1 box of tools.




The two pieces of cast iron cost me $17 and the double bit was $5.  Everything else I got was $1 for box lots.  I've been wanting a deep chicken fryer.  I don't see a name on it.




I don't see a name on the double bit.  I think the single axe has a Kelly Quality stamp.  I've got some new stuff to throw into the electrolysis tank now.






And my final buy was this sewing machine for $1.  My mom sews a lot and I'm always looking for a deal on machines for her.

You are going to have to open up a secondhand(3rd) shop with all the goodies you are finding, Clint.
