It followed me home

[JWBIRONWORKS]

Picked this up from an older Gentleman today who didn't need it anymore. Said he forgot to put it in the auction when they moved to town last year. Been sitting in an empty machine shed ever since.
It's a 165# Peter Wright. The edges are worn and it was rusty from sitting outside. I cleaned it up when I got it home with a wire brush and a 4 1/2" grinder.
All the gentlemen wanted for it was 60$. Said thats what he gave for it when he bought it at a farm sale years ago. I paid him and thanked him over and over again.
Also went to a flea market Saturday and got 21 good heavy "Williams" C-Clamps for 65$. I wish I had weekends like this more often

Great score John!

A man can't have too many "C" clamps nor too nice an anvils. That one is in fine shape.

Can you see the greenish tint to this post??!? Man, what a score! Glad for ya.

That is an awesome anvil you scored there, John. By my calculations, that only works out to $.36/pound, far below what the "flea market tool experts" I encounter that decree "They go for $1.00 a pound, not a penny less".

Looks nice, too. I didn't see that much damage around the edges, but that is subjective to who's using it.

Find any more like that, I wan't first dibs.

LOL, your flea market experts are more sensible than mine. They often want $2 a pound around here, they also seem to think the more battered it is the more its worth

This batch of loot followed me home over the last couple days.

I already posted a pic of the Milwakee 9" AC/DC slowstart grinder I picked up for $60. That was Friday.

Saturday Deb collected some fairly nice drawers and a corner table for $10. I picked up the little wheeled cart under the grinder for $5. It's now the mobile home of my little mig welder and tank.

It doesn't show too well in the pic but it's really a cheesy piece of rolling stock but it's sound, was made for a mig, mine fits perfectly (almost) and best of all I didn't have to build it myself.

The 6" Delta bench grinder came to me on Sunday for $15. It's tight, runs smooth and the light bulb even works. Heck, the wheels are original equipment and the corners are barely rounded off.

The second pic is from a Saturday yard sale. Boxes of pegboard hangers from a retail store. I didn't get the plastic shelves in the pic but there are about 30 of them plus some plastic picture holders like you see with sale signs or product descriptions, info, etc. in them.

This stuff was on the FREE pallet!

The reason I was holding off hanging pegboard was the price of hangers, now I have several hundred for my favorite price.

The last pic is Gypsy and her new twins, one doeling and one buckling. It took another vet visit to pull the buckling but everybody's healthy and vigorous.

Been a good weekend.
