Car boot sale bargain finds
S. Heslop:
That height gauge is a fantastic find. And the writing is indeed japanese. It's worth remembering this letter becuase it's pretty common and helps tell chinese and japanese apart: の
I've had bad luck getting to the car boot sale lately. It's been lovely weather for a long while, but every time I set an alarm and manage to get myself up early enough it's a damp morning.
Pete.:
You ruined that height gauge, by touching the bit that says 'Don't Touch Here'. Send it to me and I'll throw it in the skip at work :)

My local Car Boot sales rarely have anything to interest me but this little machine vice intrigued me, I've never seen one made of brass before. The jaws are lined with steel.
The micrometer is just for size.

Some good finds there Skyrocket :thumbup: , the height guage was a good buy, I did like the bag of skulls too, I got a good life size skull a while back, that vice is unusual too Norman being brass, the sort of thing you have to bu when you see or you end up regretting it.
Good to see a few more people posting on this thread too.
I have a couple of photos to take off the camera of my Sunday booting finds, I will post later or tomorrow .
Cheers Mick.

This is what Sundays car boot sale turned up.
A bit of a varied selection. 2 big size new files, one flat one half round. 4 x 40grit sander belts, a ' king dick 1/2inch extension bar, a nice pair of wire cutter/ strippers, a bag of cable ties, a carbide tipped drill bit, a Dormer set of easi outs and matching drill set, a Zeus data book, a Wesco oil can, 4 Britool combination spanners 32mm, 19mm, 18mm, 17mm and a Gordon open ended spanner 8mm x 10mm.
This is some 1/2inch thick alloy plate and some 4 inch 100mm ball bearings, they are flaking but ok for what I want them for, to make formers for blacksmithing and metal bashing, they are not light for carrying about boot sales mind !
Cheers Mick
