    Old Canvas Roll

    That I "picked" last labor Day, at the Tractor Fest in West Liberty, OH...

    Doesn't look like much, does it? Price?

    Just a "fiver".....Unroll it?

    Again...doesn't look too inviting, does it?


    Flip up that flap for a moment, though...

    Hmmmm...sizes range from...4/16" up to 16/16"...mostly Irwins, with a 8/16" being the exception.

    Will be looking through my supply of brace bits..and see IF any need replacing....in the meantime, that canvas roll could stand a good clean up?
    Hmmm, throw it in the washer during Laundry Detail, or..what would be the best way?


    BTW: there is a fellow up in New Hampshire that is trying to sell one just like this......for $122?

    I think I'll keep mine a while...

    Wow, Steven,

    Looks like you hit it dead on again. The bits look very good. It is a little small to see a lot of detail, but they look very clean with very little rust. Good job.

    I’d use woolite and a soft brush to clean the canvas. Then wipe it dry with a soft microfiber cloth.

    Almost a full set of Irwins....had to sort through the "Bit Box"

    As some of the bits in the roll were too pitted to use, ever again. There was a Jennings bit, without any spurs ( tossed) and a few duplicates...and a few sizes AWOL...

    Almost 2 full sets?

    Rolled up..

    Anyone remember how to properly stow that dangling strap from the old Butt-packs? The grommet?

    There ARE 2 of them..in case one wants to hang this roll up on a wall, opened up and ready for work?
    For now?

    This will be quite good enough.

    Sizes? 4/16" to 16/16" by 16ths
    Might just come in handy?
