This is why I would never get rich selling used cars ! I answered an ad for a Vega lathe to see if maybe he had some tools for sale and he said yes but was not sure what he had and to come look if I wanted. Well, he had a 5 gallon bucket full of chisels, I picked out 8 of them thinking I really did not have the money to spend and said, “how much” He said “ is 10 bucks apiece ok?” In shock, I said “to cheap, Ill give you 15 “ I know, dumb, but I feel better J So here they are, my mini gloat, 4 Sorby’s, 3 Crown’s, and one unknown. O’yea, he threw in the caliper. It’s been a good day J

Sweet gloat, Scott. I'm sure the seller appreciated the business, and it looks like you have some fun new toys to play with.
