The meat grinder brought back memories of the 1950s. My mom had one, and every Saturday morning after her trip to the grocery store, my sister and I would take turns grinding meat for next weeks dinners.
Dear Mr. Pete, please don't let the 00gles that be ruin one of the best YT channels available! My husband loves watching your video's and you're the only one that could actually ID the tools in his "shop" (2400 sf). I heard you asked for comments and for some reason he can't leave comments. So I am commenting hoping it helps you! If you ever wanna visit CA I'll fly you and the lovely Mrs Pete and make you or take you to a lovely dinner! His shop has more tools than even his mechanic friends don't know what 1/2 of them are! He loves watching you and takes notes often! Let me know if you and Mrs Pete ever wanna visit! 🙂
As a former industrial arts major and someone who worked in the VA system as a vocational/teacher/therapist i can certainly relate to your channel. I was fortunate to work with veterans in an industrial arts type of department. I was in charge of the woodworking shop /clinic where we made a variety of small and large projects. The best part of the experience was hearing the experiences and life stories of these veterans and getting to know them on a personal basis. I also have the TAS (tool accumulation syndrome) and need to reduce my inventory. Your ability to put out so much work on your channel is very impressive for an 80 yo. My high school IA department was a great experience for me and i considered it a privilege to be able to be in the "shops" a d avail myself of all of the opportunity to use all of the tools and machinery. I also taught in the public schools and local vocational schools and i understand the challenges of dealing with the immature energy of students as well as those students whose behavior required too many school resouces.
Being one of limited funds and movement from age, thank you for letting me live my life vicariously with your action buy videos. And I mean that! The vice is awesome. Many of the ones with the base I see for sale are over 1000 dollars. Cool find
The baby bullet is sweet! Another great haul. We knew you wouldn't stop going to auctions. The Checker cab piece looks to be a horn button from the steering wheel.
Mr. Pete: Auction stuff: The conical brass thing with a fold-out blade in a slot on the side is a cork borer sharpener. I think I've seen a tiny Wilton vise about 2-3 inches long at a flea market marked about $85 ten or fifteen years ago.
If you mean the tool shown at 4:13 I think it is for making the tapered hole in a Windsor chair seat. The legs are attached to the seat base with tapered tenons and these sort of tools are used to adjust the tapered mortise (hole) in the base.
You can use some Grizzly wheels on the sander. I think I still have a list. I made mine from cast aluminum also, but the Grizzly’s also come with the bearings.
That little dumore is amazing. I had one of that vintage and the motor needed rewinding though.... It was a shame to see it go up in smoke. Yours sounds "sick" 😷
Did someone change the meaning of “sick”? To me it means “ feeling awful, headache, throwing up, sick as a dog, flue, bad cold, ‘bout to die, etc. The Dumore was a lucky find for Mr Pete but it’s not “sick”.
@@ellieprice363 The bearings must be dry and filthy as you can hear the motor slowly picking up speed as they warm-up (it's running slow). That's the sick sound and might overheat the windings if not addressed. Also there's something wrong with the chuck/shaft as it's moving quite a bit as he applies drilling pressure. Yes, I've had a Dumore for years but mine is only around fifty years old.
@@douglasbollinger8678 Thanks for sharing the correct meaning of "sick" as applied to the Dumore. I've seen a few strange uses of the word that makes no sense to me. Such as, "That 427 Cobra is sick!" My apologies for misunderstanding the comment.
Mr Pete one of your vices is more vices. Here in western Canada the live auction is almost a thing of the past. I loved the auction action but now it is sit at home and click the the computer.
The weird tool at 6:30 is a Dearman welding gauge. Used to check hi-lo on the fit up of pipe and other inspection criteria. Used by welding inspectors. That Baby Wilton with the Powrarm is worth $600-$1200 all day long on eBay. Very valuable.
Wow, looks like a great time. You are right Sunday was a beautiful day. That is the cutest vice! Even better it came with the positioner. I am really surprised they gave the magnetos away. That was a good eye on the precision drill press. Good video. Hope to see you this summer!
Thinking the same thing... the headsets, switch and power supply look to all go with the pair of telegraph keys to make a little kit to build a two station telegraph network to play/test with
A pleasant way to spend a day. I love estate sales, auctions, and even thrift shops on occasion. My wife started dragging me to these, and I sort of got to liking them, especially if they have tools, sporting equipment, and musical instruments.
I have a keen kutter grinder with a 24ish stone around 2in thick with a seat and pedals and a curved plate to rest tools for sharpening and its in 90% condition other than a little surface rust. It was my great grandfather's and always in a enclosed shop. I actually used it a few weeks ago and sharpened two push mower blades. I normally use a electric grinder but just wanted to use it for fun. The wheels are normally cracked but this one is used but pristine. Love old tools.
Migth be worth taking a trip to the USA just because of these tool auctions. 😁😁😁 So many cool and interesting things to see. ☺ Thanks for sharing it to us.
OK, I’ll be honest!! I can’t criticise you. Yesterday I travelled to Rochdale (I live in Bolton north of Manchester, UK) and bought a new Makita hand held sander, some Bahco imperial 😢Allen keys (various names across the pond including ‘L wrenches’, ‘L keys’ etc), a set of multipurpose Bosch drills for 1/4” quick release chuck, a Bosch Xlock angle grinder (the blue professional one), several dozen cutting and grinding disks for same, assorted impact posidrive2 bits and much more!! I only intended going for a pair of socks to a local store!!!🥳 👍🇬🇧👍🇺🇸👍
I used the crank meat grinder to make venison sausage. We used the corn stripping tool when canning corn. The small pin vises and hemostats were probably use by a model maker or model train person. Same with the tiny saws and knife. The transformer looks like the early type for powering model train layouts but could have been used with the morse keys. The crimper was used on round sheetmetal ducting. A lot of those dividers would have been used in drafting. The calipers would have been used for transferring and taking measurements at metal and wood turning lathes before the advent of modern dial and digital calipers. I think I have used most of these tools except the oddball ones. I also had a carbide head lamp for exploring caves and mines when I was young.
Always enjoy the auction videos. I got outbid on a bigger Wilton vise a few years ago. Thought I had put in a stupid high bid only to have 2 other people outbid me.
Great auction take! AT 25:09 you have a near complete Vintage J-38 morse key in good looking shape, just missing the shorting lever (for tuning up) and one binding post that you can get from the other one that is missing a bunch of parts. Now to get your Amateur Radio License and start talking CW!
Awesome get! Still waiting to find a baby bullet in the wild. I did finally get my vintage Starrett vise. I have a Wilton fish hook from '45 but no baby bullet, great find!
It’s probably good, I don’t live back there where you have auctions like that… my shop would be full of junk and my wallet constantly empty … so you keep going so I can live vicariously thru your pocketbook… I love these posts!
Lincoln upright motor generator welder is a good unit. Used 3 phase input power but am told it ran a steady arc. That one would be a 200 Shield Arc model. Lincoln used the same rotating part for the Wisconsin engine driven portable welders they sold to farmers and tradesmen. AL B.
Tool at 10:17 is to compress the spring on B&S condenser that holds the wire in. The old set that the end of condenser is half the points contact and gap is set by sliding condenser in the one hole clamp.
Telegraph key base possibly military. Earphones can be used with crystal radios. These are getting hard to find wire was weoven into cotton braid usually ended with pin jacks .
6:40 is for checking alignment in welding. Can be used for hi/lo on sheets, pipe alignmnent, and so on. It can do weld side, an reach through a root gap to check root side for open-root welds. I use one every day at job two. 11:25 I am weak for calipers and dividers, especially with fine adjust and releases to clear obstructions. you stole the baby bullet. Like I stole my house (less than 1/3 tax value) I love the DuMore. Mine was free, and not worth it due to damage. More than it was worth for the repair parts, but quite useful. 25:25 telegraph key frame missing the key lever. The switch is so when used on a long multikey line, the key can e shorted to allow another key to use the line. Open the switch when you are sending.
When I type 'my last auction' into the Tubalcain Translator, it translates to 'until the next auction'. I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Takes me back to my high school shop days in the 70's, which are surprisingly vivid in my aging memory. I took them all, wood shop, metal shop, electronics, automotive and mechanical drawing. Paint the baby bullet to match that 4" Wilton vise.
That tool that looked like a cone was to put a taper om wagon wheel spokes, the other tool with all the holes was to cut the pins on the wagon spokes after the spokes were assembled in the hub and you knew the depth the pin had to be cut. I am restoring a horse drawn wagon and have bought those very tools. Those vices were worth a small fortune.
More woodworking tools. at 20:13 you have a tenon cutter for putting a round tenon of various sizes on the end of a piece of wood, frequently used in chair making. And right after it at 20:15 is a tenon pointer, sort of a giant pencil sharpener sort of tool. Makes putting the tenon in the mortise easier. At 20:20 is a tool for sharpening woodworking handsaws, lowers the teeth to the same height.
I went to my first tool auction recently and I felt the same way! (There was a lot of people there with a lot more money to spend than me!). Though I still got some good stuff.
Somebody was a woodworker at that place. The tool at 6:20 is a bevel gauge, one of the better type with the hinge lock at the back where it never gets in the way. The cheaper ones have a lever lock at the hinge and depending on the project, those can get in your way. Looks like the locking mechanism is not all there though, pity. The single trammel point also points to woodworking.
Lots of old but still useful items in there...Nice Oxy/Acet gas welding cart and tanks. Lots of hammers too ! Singer sewing machine was very cool and the homemade sander in the same room. Did see those bench vise's were in very good condition, only needed some evapo-rust treatment. It's really sad to have to be part of those auctions. the only advantage of them are to the seller(s) in that items tend to get moved/sold quickly however, for those who are in the know about the items, they have to bid more than most items are worth because oof other folks in there bidding on items they don't know about and have the money to burn for the fun of it. In the end, after the commissions are paid etc. most stuff sells for more than their value. Someone has to pay the auctioneers ! That baby Wilton has much value...I've seen them restored and priced for big money.
The brass trammel point is quite nice. Maybe you could use your machinist skills and make a copy? Did the trammel point fit on the steel straight beam?
I bought a 3.5 Wilton Bullet vise and painted it black with silver lettering and it is the show piece of my shop. Sounds gaudy but it isn’t. If I had a Baby Bullet I would paint it to match. Good find.
Mr Pete, that thing with the brass cone, blade and wooden handle is a tool for sharpening and dressing those cork borers that your girlfriend sent you.
The meat grinder brought back memories of the 1950s. My mom had one, and every Saturday morning after her trip to the grocery store, my sister and I would take turns grinding meat for next weeks dinners.
Mr. Pete, I hope you NEVER stop going to auctions and yard sales. God bless Mrs Pete for supporting you as well.
Ditto!
I like your Wilton baby bullet vice.
Tubalcain dont EVER stop going to auctions! Love plunder! Modern day shop tool piracy. Love it.
😀👍
Hand raised! Love that little Wilton
Auctions are good for more youtubes! Keep going, keep buying, keep showing, and WE keep watching👌👌

The hotdogs looked great

Thank you Mr Pete. This was very exciting. I'm so happy for you. Congratulations on the baby bullet! The base is icing on the cake.
Definitely need to restore those vises and Dumore drill press.
The baby Wilton is an amazing score. There is always more money than sense at auctions. Thanks for the videos.

Wait a minute, you said it was the last auction 5 auctions ago Mr Pete....Ha. Just one more! Yeah! Aww the heck...Go for it!
Keep the auction auction coming, wow a baby bullet, whaat a treat!! :-D love the dumore, I have the same vintage one
👍👍

Wow Mr. Pete! That was a great haul! So many cool items! Color me green with envy!
The baby bullet is sweet!
Another great haul.
We knew you wouldn't stop going to auctions.
The Checker cab piece looks to be a horn button from the steering wheel.
Thank you Mr Pete!
Got a Unimat on the way from eBay……a way too late nite “best offer” purchase 🙄
Nice 👍
It's utterly amazing to me, the junk that you can find around old farms. AWESOME stuff to sort through though. Thanks for taking us along Lyle!
Mr. Pete! The hobby transformer is the power supply for the morse code keys! It is all together for a reason!
Morning Lyle.
Hoarder Happiness!
Mr. Pete: Auction stuff: The conical brass thing with a fold-out blade in a slot on the side is a cork borer sharpener. I think I've seen a tiny Wilton vise about 2-3 inches long at a flea market marked about $85 ten or fifteen years ago.

Former pharmacist here. Yes, that is definitely a cork borer sharpener.
I had a Craftsman 1 x 42 sander just like that Rockwell. I wish I still did. Thanks, Mr Pete!
You can use some Grizzly wheels on the sander. I think I still have a list. I made mine from cast aluminum also, but the Grizzly’s also come with the bearings.
More Tools? Why thats wonderful.Mr. Pete!
4:10 Figured out mystery tool candidate, won't spoil it here. Will send you an email...nice haul and the Wilton to boot...
Thank you. I love going to these type sales. We have a few here in Easter PA. Jacktown, and Kinzers.
That little dumore is amazing. I had one of that vintage and the motor needed rewinding though.... It was a shame to see it go up in smoke. Yours sounds "sick" 😷

I just love old tools what stories they could tell there is so much quality in the old stuff
This video just made my day! Love these

hello David
Nice haul. Enjoyed watching this last of the last auction goodies.😂
Enjoy the auction videos thanks for sharing Mr Pete
That was fun Mr.Pete! Thankyou!
Those versa vises are great! That one is worth $200 or so with the knuckle.
Well if there ever was the need for a Tool Auction Anonymous... we'll sponsor you, Lyle! 🤣 Wilton, just clean and oil, don't paint it.
Hello Mr pete, I love watching your tool auctions, keep making these video's, cheers from me. 😃👍👍👍👍👍
So happy Mr. Pete that your vice's are giting smaller 😇
That blue colored transformer is to power model train sets.
Mr Pete .. I was just thinking when i saw the title ... This willll be the last auction .lol Hope you find many more too.
The big thin curved spanner is for adjusting old door closers with a spring . Use one at the school alot .
Thanks
That sander looks like it could be adapted to being a crankshaft polisher pretty easy.
I think that transformer with the telegraph equipment was the power supply for the telegraph. Don't throw it out.
Thinking the same thing... the headsets, switch and power supply look to all go with the pair of telegraph keys to make a little kit to build a two station telegraph network to play/test with
A pleasant way to spend a day. I love estate sales, auctions, and even thrift shops on occasion. My wife started dragging me to these, and I sort of got to liking them, especially if they have tools, sporting equipment, and musical instruments.
👍
Thank you Mr Pete always enjoy watching your videos watching from South Africa
👍
Hi,I like the action site, too.Get to see all the things this poor fellow worked on.
Love how you were so excited over your baby Wilton!
😄😄
That baby bullet was quite the score! If going to auctions still makes you happy, keep going to them! We are all very happy to watch!

Thanks Lyle...
Thanks for sharing Mr. Pete I love this kind of videos.
Glad you enjoyed it
fantastic hoarder #973, mint condition, read the issue with the introduction of the kryptonite ratchet and the value garden cart
you got some awesome finds there mr. pete 👍

I'm pleased as punch you have a new addition to your brewd of vices. I'm also a proud papa of a baby Wilton vice as well.

I have that same Bluepoint hacksaw. They are sold on Snap-on tool trucks. Mine is 25+ years old and still works like new.
Always enjoy the auction videos. I got outbid on a bigger Wilton vise a few years ago. Thought I had put in a stupid high bid only to have 2 other people outbid me.

Thanks for the info
I just checked eBay for baby Wilson W power arm they sold for anywhere from $650- $1000
That is fairly accurate, closer to $1,000 in "market value" although I couldn't forgive myself if I paid that much for one.
Awesome get! Still waiting to find a baby bullet in the wild. I did finally get my vintage Starrett vise. I have a Wilton fish hook from '45 but no baby bullet, great find!
Hey Mr Pete, I’ve been very disappointed in the Dremel tools. I liked the RotoZip, much bigger and more powerful, but it never seemed to take off…
Look forward to more videos and restoration on the parts you got today especially the baby wilton.
It’s probably good, I don’t live back there where you have auctions like that… my shop would be full of junk and my wallet constantly empty … so you keep going so I can live vicariously thru your pocketbook… I love these posts!
I do have to ask, is this one man’s lifetime of collecting?
He was a retired maintenance man
And only had 5% of what I have, I am totally ashamed of myself
Lincoln upright motor generator welder is a good unit. Used 3 phase input power but am told it ran a steady arc. That one would be a 200 Shield Arc model. Lincoln used the same rotating part for the Wisconsin engine driven portable welders they sold to farmers and tradesmen. AL B.
Grade and slope gauge is for laying pipe for oil and gas transmission lines that get welded. AL B.
Cracking little drill press.. I wonder how long the farm ran for.
Tool at 10:17 is to compress the spring on B&S condenser that holds the wire in. The old set that the end of condenser is half the points contact and gap is set by sliding condenser in the one hole clamp.
These days I find very little interest in auctions. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Mr. Pete, The Baby Wilton is a rare find. Can't wait for the Resto. With the mount, Big Bucks. Best, Fred
😄😄
Just love it…never say “uncle “

❤ the auction videos! Great stuff to be had?
I think the hoby transformer is to power model trains, and maybe other powered toys.
My girl bought me a baby bullet on a power arm , and it’s one of my favorite tools in the shop. Nice score!
😄
That tool that looked like a cone was to put a taper om wagon wheel spokes, the other tool with all the holes was to cut the pins on the wagon spokes after the spokes were assembled in the hub and you knew the depth the pin had to be cut.

Thanks for another auction video. I thought you were done,so thankful you're not. You did well to get the baby bullet, those are highly sought after.
I went to my first tool auction recently and I felt the same way! (There was a lot of people there with a lot more money to spend than me!). Though I still got some good stuff.
Love the little vise, would also love to know what you paid for it. Just out of curiosity. Probably because it seems I pay to much for everything. I

Looking forward to the vise restoration.
Lots of old but still useful items in there...Nice Oxy/Acet gas welding cart and tanks. Lots of hammers too ! Singer sewing machine was very cool and the homemade sander in the same room.
Did see those bench vise's were in very good condition, only needed some evapo-rust treatment. It's really sad to have to be part of those auctions. the only advantage of them are to the seller(s) in that items tend to get moved/sold quickly however, for those who are in the know about the items, they have to bid more than most items are worth because oof other folks in there bidding on items they don't know about and have the money to burn for the fun of it.

That baby Wilton has much value...I've seen them restored and priced for big money.
The brass trammel point is quite nice. Maybe you could use your machinist skills and make a copy? Did the trammel point fit on the steel straight beam?
admiring the pair of bottle jacks 28:49
Mr. Pete, you saved the best for last. It looks like they came with fresh cut fries. Now, I want one...or both.
I was checking to see if anyone watched the whole video, lol.
Love it!
I bought a 3.5 Wilton Bullet vise and painted it black with silver lettering and it is the show piece of my shop. Sounds gaudy but it isn’t. If I had a Baby Bullet I would paint it to match. Good find.
