Car boot sale bargain finds
Skyrocket:
Hi, a few tools and a bit of "useful one day" lol
micktoon:
Good find on the indexed tools Skyrocket, I have been a bit slack at the boot sales latley but got a few bits I will take some photos of and post this week. For anyone interested I did take some photos of that hammer head , it looks to be blacksmith made , the cast looking surface is because it was deeply rusted but has been steeped in battery acid to remove the rust.
It looks like it was never finished so I wonder if someone maybe ended up at this stage too far off the shape they wanted and gave up ? interesting find anyway.
Cheers Mick
Skyrocket:
its a nice find mike are you going to machine up the striking surfaces?

Hi Skyrocket, You got some interesting finds again :thumbup: Yes when I get around to it I think I will have a go at finishing that hammer head.
This is todays car boot finds ..... The boot sales are dying off for this season I think now , even though its been a nice day it was more quiet in general. Two decent books £2 each , one wood carving and the other woodturning, A funny looking coping/fret saw but seems good quality, a small hacksaw, a marples tee handle hole drill, a round diamond sintered type file , meant for filing ceramic tiles I think but I want to see what its like on wood when I am carving and a nice hard smooth natural oilstone.
Cheers Mick

....a marples tee handle hole drill...
Is it a drill or a gimlet ? Hard to tell as it is at the bottom edge of the picture.
