Hi all I was just sitting hear wondering if anyone has made it to the Webster Flea market. The market Is about an hour north of Tampa and maybe an hour and a half west of Orlando. I thinks it's about 30/40 minutes from my house. Supposedly the largest in the state.

Anyway I have been told that it is a good place to find tools. It is a monday Market. I am planning on going up there on this coming Monday And thought I would see of anyone has heard of it, been there, or might be interested in hearing about it.

If it turns out to be good I will be sure to report back.

I made it out to the flea market this morning and there were tools and deals to be had. I ended up picking up what i think were some good buys as well as things that mostly I have been wanting to find.

A Russel & Erwin 6" brace $10
An Eclipse #4 auger $1
A Millers Falls Adjustable auger and a Disston Bevel gauge $20
A Hatchet "Genuine" is all I can make out of the stamp offset blade $8 it has my sisters initials carved in the handle so she insisted we get it.

There was a lot of other stuff ranging from junk to overpriced but nice.
I passed on a mostly complete #45 because the skate just in front of the iron was broken and filed back. I had the guy down to $75 and it had about 10 irons with it. He also had a #46 but had $400 on it so I didn't even ask. Lots of anvils

Apparently there are more people that will be arriving and setting up next week or in a couple weeks with more tools, so I will have to make a few more trips out there to see. all in all I am happy, especially with the brace. Many prices were high but everyone was quick to come down in price as soon as interest was shown.

OK here are some Pics of todays catch.

If your ever near daytona on wedendays you can find some good deals at the deland farmermarket. I bought a 45 with 5 irons in real good shape about a month ago for 35 bucks I couldn't belive it, lastweek I got a shipwright's adze for 5 buck's guy said is was an old garden hoe lol. some stuff is over priced but still good deals to be had .Jason
