Lyly, your voice is very soothing, not enough to put me to sleep, mind you but very easy to listen to! I really enjoy watching your videos, very educational and with no small amount of adventure...
One's mans junk can be another man's treasure. My dad kept everything, I now enjoy finding stuff i need from his hoard. I now keep a "maybe" throw away bin, because i know as soon as I chuck it I will need it.!! Great watch. Thank you.
hi after listening for a year or more and then seeing your face it was reassuring that you are and have the features of my uncles, you are also the same in attitude about waste and the modern throw away age . thanks for your enthusiasm i watch with great interest . i own a boxford lathe and mini mill where the heart lies but have been usurped by the modern computing industry . fighting to regress.
I must be a worse hoarder than you, because when you would say well that box can go in the garbage I'm doing "NO I want to look through that!" Seen lots of little goodies I would like to have.Love this type of video get to watch someone having what I consider "Fun"
These tool haul videos can be tedious but I appreciate that you keep it moving. I usually get at least a few laughs as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Lot's of small hidden gems in the mix there! Looks like boxes and tables were from cleaning out cabinets and work benches full of years worth of clutter collections. Yep the cylindrical square was an awesome score!
Hi Lyle, At 14:37 that bar in the leather case is a lap/hone for cleaning the edges of the Brown and Sharpe 530 toolmakers straight edges. It is a glass rectangle covered on three sides with leather. The stands you mentioned using for knobs are made by Carl Mahr or CEJ Johannson and are for comparative measurements with high resolution indicators. I saw the serrated anvil for one in your #1 auction video. Nice lot of goodies. Best, Tom
Excellent tour of the 'junk'. The subtle humor leaves me laughing through many of your videos, this one more than many. I still teach engineering, so I collect the same type of 'junk' for use with students. Unfortunately, in my area, prices are up, up, up, and any auction is well attended. For example, used and beaten generic 1" mic, with scored and rusty anvil and spindle goes for $50 or more. Then again, I picked up a new is goo brown and sharpe #8 1" micrometer in factory case at a yard sale for $5 the other week by showing up 15min early and not being a jerk, so only a couple of the flea market and antique vultures were there.
LOL that's a relief! ... unintended comedy at it's best. Thanks for the video's , you've become quite accomplished. Both in content and method. What how and why in very direct style, you have adapted yourself to this medium fantastically. I found you because of the Atlas/craftsman lathe videos. Enjoyed many of your subjects even though I might have never known of them previously.
It is funny..... I'm 43 and all the stuff you say is junk is stuff I'd like. You can keep all the carborundum you want. We are in very different places Mr. Pete. Great video though..... as always.
Heat absorbing glass is used in projectors and enlargers to soak up some of the heat from the bulb before it gets to the film- being made obsolete by LED bulbs. It's usually greenish in color. I used to use it a lot in the days of non-electronic film, especially when printing color negatives. The paper was slow and required halogen bulbs in the enlarger head coupled with long exposures (a minute or so sometimes).
Very interesting. Thank you for letting us see the man behind the voice. It puts a much better perspective view on your videos. One man's trash... surprised you don't do some trades with what you consider trash or sell unwanted items individually or as a lot on EBay or CL to offset the cost or your treasure hunts. Bet your grandson would be happy to help sell and build up his - as I call it- Ice Cream Money. Thank you. Keep them coming.
Keep the series going. It's great. Looks like you need to have a garage sale mrpete. Most of the stuff you considered junk some would love to have. The 2 CJ Johansson pear shaped base stands are great for people to make height gauges from. I just sold a complete one on Ebay for good money it was snapped up in a day. Probably because you have so much stuff your perception of junk is different to people starting out in the trade. :-). regards from the UK
love the video, I love looking through boxes of stuff. my favorite thing to do is go to the flea market and spend hours of looking for treasures in boxes of junk.
Wow! A lot of really good stuff there. Even a lot of the things you're going to throw I'd happily take off your hands if I was nearby. Would love to build something from that Meter Matic box! Thanks for the continuation video, great fun and very educational to hear you go through all of that material! Glad to see you on camera as well, as opposed to just your hands!
you have almost all the parts for that bosch and lomb stereo microscope stand, the gray round base, upright for holding the microscope head to move up and down, swivel sideways. Put the pieces together, and you will love it. At the start, there was a very rusted tall indicator base with a fine adjusting knob. if you have the indicator attachment, good , but if not make one.
Mr. Pete, at 19:40, you are looking at some tubes with knobs and fittings. Those go with your AO microscope and the gray metallic base to hold your scope on a swing arm stand.
Lyle, I never tire of watching you sift through this type of thing. I'm always surprised by the way you through tools around, it's almost as if you dislike them Anyway, I for one am sorrow you have stopped buying, and would love an hour or two to fill a truck from your collection 👍💖
HA glass has many uses. In photography, they are used in enlargers to absorb the heat before it gets to the film. And the glass flat is for testing fatness of things like surface plates. Very useful!
Some nice parts bin additions -- when I start a new project my first trip is to the parts bin to see what can be repurposed. Loved the comment below about "where you garbage bin is located" - even that stuff would be good in a parts bin.
...the sad thing is that you can't save EVERYTHING!! A favorite saying of mine is: "There's no such thing as having TOO MUCH STUFF- it's just a question of having TOO LITTLE SPACE-!!!"
The sealing wax and clay are used by watchmakers and engravers to hold the work in place. My dad was a jeweler and watchmaker. The big heavy round thing in the box looks like a jewel staking block for installing the watch jewels.
Good collection of...well various and sundry...you know! But, even though it is not for sale, my birthday is in January and I live only the second state East from you. Just kidding. I don't go to auctions but do go to the flea market on Thursdays. Thanks sir for another interesting (to me anyway) video, Greg.
Such materials and tools are found here in my country at a temporary market called ( Friday Market ). Its open only on Friday. Sometimes I find precious tools just like you......
Those are steel reference standards to validate wet chemical analysis techniques - can be used for ICP (inductive coupled Plasma) chemical analysis check or LECO check standards for carbon/sulfur check
Some of those watchmakers tools you called useless could be some of the most valuable items you got. I have no idea what they are but i do know watchmakers tools are ridiculously expensive and well made.
Thanks to you for your invaluable contributions here on TH-cam! Why not offering all those things, you do not need anymore for free to your potential and interested neighbors? A viewer living next to Scandinavia, far away from the U.S..
That "no good" flat check glass with the lapping stuff might be an optical flatness tester. A real find if your lapping precision gage tooling. It's funny to see what you find treasure I'd consider common and vice-versa. Enjoy your videos, keep it up.
i like this video series as i do all of your videos (appreciate them all)... wish they had auctions like this in southern Ca... i will be looking to find some, if there are...
Mr Pete at 19:40 those are for the bosch and loumb microscope. meant to extend the range over a work bench.The grey cast round is the base(the one you keep referring to a lamp base)
7:10 That is a Bausch and Lomb Stereozoom microscope. Unlike a laboratory microscope, you can actually work under one of these!! I used to own 2 of these, and they are VERY nice!! You already have a light for it.
@@mrpete222 I have since aquired several more of these microscopes- they are EXTREMELY useful!! I use one of them just about every day. I have to warn you: once you get used to using one of these Stereozoom microscopes, you're gonna be HOOKED- they are outstanding for removing metal slivers from your fingers...and that's just for starters.
The samples were indeed used in the lab. The analysts need to check their methods every now and then, so they need a sample of known composition to verify that their methods and techniques are good. It's the lab equivalent of checking your calipers with a gage block.
Steel is dissolved in various acids to form colored chemical complexes. The reference steel (you show) is treated this way and then compared to a similarly treated steel sample under analysis by optical extinction. In this manner, the chemical analysis of the steel sample may be determined.
That glass flat plate looked like a flatness tester; laid on a surface interference fringing will be seen at the bottom surface. Good for testing to half a wavelength of light if I recall rightly.
I guess us old guys believe we can get something for nothing because we keep on going to auctions and bringing home junk. The other day I got 5 dozen pocket knives for about $15. What am I going to do with that?
That "check for flat" boks at 9:36 might be an optical flat. Tom lipton showed one in a recent video. Lapping a V Block With a shop made lap. I thought that was pretty neat.
.....9:00.....Meter-matic.....24 hour actuator.....many times are used to turn on-off security lights.....my last employer had one for the exterior 'night-lights'.........13:00......those torque wrenches are something you might put in a nice wooden display case... ....23:00 ASME book....that might be full of use full information.... All-in-all....quite a wonderful collection of precision made cardboard boxes.....
Hallo Mr Pete, I am coming back to the Southbend 9a subject. I have seen the Hercus 9a that is the same to the Southbend but I am looking for U.K. Lathes and not Australian, since from August

Thank you very much
