Quenchcrack Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Does anyone remember the name of that Junkyard in Lufkin TX, along HWY 59 that had all that blacksmithing stuff? I am going to be going through there next week and I would like to shop. Edited March 13, 2009 by Quenchcrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenchcrack Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Nevermind, I found it: Paul Nerren's Junk. Maybe the economy has pushed his prices down to earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quenchcrack Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Tom, google maps show it SOUTH of Lufkin on the left (west side). Is there any sign to let you know where it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Google is upside down!! It is definitely on the EAST side. You really can't miss it tho. Have fun....it's a lot like IFI, you need to tell someone where you are. Oh yea, take food and water, you can get lost in there as well. Let us know what you buy.

rcs7 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I can double confirm that it's north of town. Although I never found it I did cover the south part town thoroughly due to Google maps. Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Payton, it's about 2hrs+/- south of me. Give me a holler when you head this way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenchcrack Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) OK, 103 miles north of Houston, about 2 hours. Closed on Mondays I guess. I got there at 9:30 AM and it was closed so I went on to my appointment in Shreveport. On my way back home I stopped by about 4:30 PM and it was still closed. Just inside the chain link fench was exactly what I wanted to buy: a rivet forge and blower. 10 feet from my fingertips! Yep, he has a LOT of stuff that he apparently is in no hurry to get rid of.
