- Me and my wife hit the flea market this weekend. It was a little disappointing the lack of vendors this year. I was able to find a few goodies. Starrett, Proto, Baker and Cincinnati tooling all came home with me. I hope you enjoy the walk around and seeing the event.
Cool finds. My dad always called them ignition wrenches.
Thanks Robert.
Went to a meet last week Tom, got some lathe tools for the wife, very pleased with the swop ! ..Del..
Oh cool. 👍
Excellent show 😊
Top advertising signs and collectibles
Thanks for your time and effort 😊😮
A little bit of everything.
Good wander around . When you first saw that vice , it looked like a grinding vice from the base configuration . Looked like he had a few grinding wheels their as well . Cool toaster ! 👍
Thanks Max. To the right of the vise were some centers I think for a T&C grinder also. The toaster is so awesome.
Nice items and flea market Tom, thanks for sharing. When my Dad drove semi's back in the 60's they had a toaster like that in the driver's room to warm thier frozen hands from hooking up the trailer!
Oh wow. That is so cool. Thanks for sharing Al.
Gday Tom, I’d love to walk around a market like that, I just wish they were like that here, the toaster is really a piece of art and I bet it cooks the toast properly, thanks for the walk around mate, cheers
Morning Matty. I guess we are lucky here to have events like this. The one in the fall is the big one so hopefully there will be better stuff to buy.
Lots of goodies. Thanks for sharing
The main thing is you two were out and about at the Flea Market! I love that awesome little Farmall anvil. The cast sign is great too. Thanks for sharing those Tom!
That's a wonderful way to spend a day Tom. Even better if you find a few bargains. Love the toaster. Take care. Cheers Nobby
Oh thanks Nobby. It was perfect weather for it and I got a few goodies so it was a good day.
I always like to see these fleemarket videos you make Tom. Too bad about the turn out. Nice tools. Love the toaster. When I was a kid we used one like that at the cottage. Very simple and cool.
Thanks Randy. Glad you enjoy them. We grew up using a pop up toaster. I imagine it is still in the cabinet at my mothers house.
Nice video Tom. You found some nice things I'm glad you got that vise I liked it myself. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Jim. I found one on E-bay exactly like it and the seller is calling it a tool & cutter grinder vise so I think my assumption was right.
Small world.....I spent two weeks just south of Hillsville.
Great people out that way.
tHanks for the video
Oh nice. Down in Fancy Gap?

Fun having a look round - thanks for sharing. $85 was way high for that indicator. You got some nice finds though. 👍
And amen on the throwaway culture. It’s criminal really.
Hey there Stuart. Yeah I passed on the indicator for that price.
Thanks for the look around Tom. 👍
Yes sir. Kind of like your car boot flea markets?
Indeed yes Tom. Quite often local car boot sales are every month. A lot just sell household junk but some like the Autojumble are great for general tools and machine tools. Cheers
That Cole drill is quite rare. It goes along with the Cole farm vise and one other attachment I can't remember. I have a Cole vise mounted on my pump jack trailer. You got some good scores there Tom. Especially that vise!
Well heck. I guess I need you on speed dial to help with that kind of stuff.
Thats a bit of all right AL. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks Harold.
G'day Tom. I generally walk around with you on your Flea Market outings. As you said generally you find there are many vendors with lots of goodies. I think there is a slump generally around economic world which is affecting businesses, which will also affect events like flea markets.
Thanks for your tour, maybe next one will be more fruitful.
Ted
Thanks Ted. The fall event is much bigger so hopefully it will be more fruitful.
I think you are right it looks like its for a No2 cutter grinder
Wow, that toaster. "They don't make them like they used to."
I know right. Built to last and elegant too.
Great Tom
i loke a good flea market
regards
Kev
Great. Thanks for watching Kev.
Thanks for sharing
Yes sir. It does not even come close to your events. 🙂
Best part about that toaster is you stick your fingers in it while its on you will remember not to do that again. LOL
You ain't kidding. 😀
I just went to an auction.Where lady's husband die that own a small machine shop, Unfortunately, nobody showed up that day.
So she dumped everything in a dumpster. Mill machine grinder ,tooling ,everything. The machinery was too heavy to get them out of the dumpsters, but we did manage to save a some of tooling
Oh wow. Glad you were able to save some stuff.
@@hilltopmachineworks2131 I heard when they came to pick the dumpster up, they almost couldn't load it, They said this guy been in business over 70 years. Just imagine the stuff that was in the bottle of the dumpster
@@MP-vd6pf Oh geez. What a shame. 😞
good video friend Tom
Thanks Michel. 🙏
Nice setting for a flea market. Did you get that little anvil for Al ? That was pretty cool 👍👍
I remember grandma having an old open toaster when I was a kid, but it was square. It's long gone probably went to the trash.
Good Stuff !
Hey Dean. Weather was perfect for some picking. No I passed on the anvil. I would have grabbed it if it was 15-20 bucks.
Cupple nice pick ups there especially the toaster still going after all this time
Yes do like to have a walk around the market with you over here where I live all they seam to have is foot and vegetables bigger cities have better markets any way Cheers
Great. I will keep doing them. Thanks for watching. 🙏
Enjoyed the walk around Tom. No Mitutoyo dial guage? That toasters cool though, I'm with you. I'd be using it as well. 10 years throw away society's, more like 2 years over here in the UK. New stuff sucks. Cheers Tony
Thanks Tony. That Mitutoyo was priced too high so I passed. It is sad the way things are made now.
wish there were more markets like this here in the Netherlands. I actually expected that large dti on your table😅. but still a nice buy👍🏻
That Mitutoyo was over priced unfortunately so I passed on it.
@@hilltopmachineworks2131oh that's a shame.
The kind of place where you have to be careful not to make the mistake to buy a big anvil in the beginning. Othrewise you have to carry it around the rest of the day.
You are right about that. They do allow you to drive your vehicle in to pick up stuff like that. Just means you have to walk all the way back to your car though.
I like to watch flea markets
Excellent. I appreciate you watching.
1150 for the anvil seems high but thats just my opinion
I was thinking the same.
Not only that but it was in pretty awful condition, the hardened faces chipped or just broken off. Was only worth scrap price in my opinion.
