Never had a Gloat before. I was working out in the shop, when Gerri stepped in, and said--you may be interested in this add. She's prity savy, ya know;) . Well I looked at it and put the brakes on the lathe. "For Sale - [ 10 ]Robert Sorby lathe tools, never used $75.00. :eek: Within 20 mint's I was paying the nice lady, and the tools were back in the shop before the ink was dry in the add.
I know, I know, I know :o

Wow - That's a mega-score. I'm not sure you could even buy ONE of them for $20 at retail - even under the best sale conditions.

Defintely a gloat! What is the 2nd one from the right? Some sort of boring bar? Can't see it well enough to tell.
