I recently ran across a CL ad for an estate sale two Saturdays ago featuring "tools". Decided to check it out & be there right at the opening bell, 9:00 am. Arrived to find the place already loaded with people. Oh boy, late for the show. Tje bigger tools had already been scoffed up: hand planes, Bessy clamps, power tools. Next time I'll be an early bird.
Anyway, I started looking & found an item of interest, then another. Small tools, but what I didn't have. Made the circuit & decided to go around again, but CW this time instead of CCW. Things appeared that I didn't catch the first time around.
Ended up spending a grand total of $41 on:
(3) Water stones - 800 grit, 1200 grit, one unknown grit - each 1" x 2 1/2" x 8" ($10/all)
(2) Pull saws - unknown make - 7" fine tooth blade/wooden handle - very minor rust that came right off ($5)
(1) Pullsaw double edge flush cutting trim & detail saw - Sharksaw No.10-2205 ($8) - http://www.amazon.com/Shark-10-2205-Trim-Detail-Double/dp/B000078ONO
(1) Enderes 4-pc. hardened steel pin punches - 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16" ($4)
(1) Cabinet scraper set - 3 pieces - Rockler brand ($3) http://www.rockler.com/cabinet-scraper-set
(1) Irwin brad point 5 pc. drill bit set ($4)- http://www.walmart.com/ip/Irwin-Brad-Point-Drill-Bit-Sets-5-pc-brad-point-drill-se/15634635
(1) Fuller complete countersink/drill bit set ($7) - http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/product.do?part=18514&engine=adwords!6456&keyword=product_ad&gclid=CILA5PKumsACFQto7AodCWUAkQ
