(pfs) Checking out Kiwanis items for refurbishment

A. LOG OF TOOL REFURBISHING (arranged chronologically by 'Refurb batches')

Beginning in mid-July, every batch (listed in column 1) is phographed when it is checked out (column 2), when it is returned (column 4), and sometimes during the process in between (column 3). An approximate description of the contents, together with comments, is found in column 5.

(When indicated the check-our / completion / check-in dates are links to photos of the batch at that stage in the process.)

Rows in green represent items donated by me.

Reground some of the screwdriver blades if excessively worn or chipped.
2014-08-13 All previously checked-out items now checked in. Refurbishment suspended till after ... VACATION WEEK (SPENT BUILDING A BARN FLOOR)
9 (2014-08-13)	2014-08-13		2014-08-13	(from lower left) jeweler's saw (frame only), pruners, 4-in-hand file/rasp, keyhole saw and bundle of saw blades (some from different saws?), two 4" files, claw hammer, rip hammer, linoleum knife, hand drill, 4-in-1 brass screwdriver, wood chisel, nut driver, punch, rule (without square head), all-steel wood chisel, odd bolt driver, stubby screw driver, gimlet, broken reamer with square shank, triangular file, hdl for socket chisel, block plane, auger, odd flat chisel, socket chisel, wire strippers, gouge, some kind of ratcheting driver, double-ended file handle, two 6" files (triangular?), ignition pliers, cold chisel, awl, some kind of knife, wood chisel, needle-nose pliers, three misc. files, handle for socket-headed wood chisel, awl or ice pick?, multi-tap for restoring threaded holes, t-handle tap wrench, another nut driver, screw driver, handle-less socketed wood chisel, another ditto, spade bit, 2" c clamp, six slip-joint pliers, cape (?) chisel, some kind of putty knife or similar, long socket-handled wood chisel, four flat files, Sharpened the chisels (usually re-forming them on a belt sander), made crude new handles for four of the handle-less from sticks in my kindling pile; mated the two Stanley socket chisels to Keen Kutter (red plastic) handles. Refinished the hammer handles. Repainted the German ("British Zone") pliers; provided a blade for the jeweler's saw; painted the auger handle; cleaned everything. Don't think there is anything particularly collectable here, though one of the slipjoint pliers has Ford markings, the stubby socket chisel is a Keen Kutter (much used), the two middle-length socket chisels are Stanleys; the awl looks old; the user-modified knife looks uncomfortably like a shiv; two of the small files are 'knife' style which is a little less common than others; the rip hammer is a decent hardward-store brand; the pruners and needle-nose pliers are very clean, the nut drivers are Xcelite, the hand drill is a Millers Falls in decent working order; and the ignition pliers are Channellocks, ditto. The postwar German pliers are of an attractive design. Don't know about the huge gouge. The Klein handy tap is missing one of its two bits. The files are mostly so-so and the reamer has a broken nose.
10.1 (2014-08-28 (pt 1))	2014-08-27	First batch set to soak in Evaporust, 2014-08-29 2014-09-02 first batch cleaned. 2014-09-02 wrenches cleaned.	2014-09-03	A basic assortment: four pipe wrenches (Ridgid, Merit,Trimo, and a Chinese knockoff), one (the Chinese one) with bent handle; six hammers, two of them rather abused Estwings ; a Craftsman vise-grip lookalike, small pair of Channellocks, a deep jeweler's saw, a German brace, a crescent-type wrench, a couple of odd chisels (?if that's what they are), a small Stanley flat pry bar, a half dozen misc screwdrivers, a pair of slipjoint pliers, small Mayes adj square, three putty knives (one with a stiff body and flexible tip), an unmarked offset screwdriver, a round-shank bit extension, large Dunlap nippers, rather undistinguished coping saw, and a small combo wrench that accidentally slipped into the picture from the 'wrenches' picture. A never-used 'keyhole' router bit. One broken triangular file of no value. Oh, and an odd lot of screwdriver bits and allen wrenches from the bottom of the box that I will set aside and deal with separately in a future week, when I hope to sort screwdriver bits and Allen wrenches. Huh. One of the "estwings" was in fact marked "MALCO" rather than Estwing (see below); the four wood-handled hammers were a nice TrueTemper rip hammer, a nicely polished Plumb ball-peen, a good Plumb claw hammer, and a rather crude or abused Lakeside ball-peen.
10.2 (2014-08-28 (pt. 2 WRENCHES))	2014-08-27		2014-09-03	About 110 open-end, box, and combination wrenches, LISTED HERE. After cleaning these, hope to combine these with those already for sale to produce (maybe) a couple of sets and then figure out some way to sort and sell the remainder in some way that makes sense. The current batch of wrenches include some of mild interest, including a handful of automotive ones (Ford, Toyota, Fiat, BMW, Lexus, Yamaha); a very clean Klein spud wrench, a Whitman & Barnes (Williams-looking) S-wrench with railroad markings, a set of Makita wrenches (part nos. 7810111 and 7810103, for the 2708 Makita table saw?) and a fairly common International Harvester engine wrench. One set was so badly pitted that we might try to sell them as having a non-slip surface :). Several nice older wrenches (early Williams, etc., still marked (pre-1927) with the old nominal bolt sizes instead of SAE nut sizes, and with the older Williams logo (1914-1924)) Some too damaged to sell, or too oddball to sell successfully. A few in perfect shape, brightly chromed and attractive. A mixed lot. This large a heap of wrenches is an education in American manufacturing history, reminding one of the existence of ... Fairmount Tool & Forging (Cleveland) Bluepoint (a brand used by Snap-On, Kenosha, WI) Duo-Hex (a brand used by J.H. Williams) J. H. Williams itself (Brooklyn, NY) Bonney Forge (Philadelphia and Allentown PA) Lakeside Forge (Erie, PA: to be distinguished from:) Lakeside (brand of Montgomery Ward, made by Utica Tool) Lectrolite Corp (Defiance, OH -- closely associated with S-K Whitman & Barnes (Akron, OH) Heyco (Remscheid, Germany) NoneBetter and Husky (brands of New Britain Machine Co., New Britain, CT) Truecraft (brand used by Daido of Japan) Hinsdale Mfg (Hinsdale, IL), sold through Sears, Western Auto, etc. The "Indestro" brand of Duro metal products (Chicago) Billings & Spencer (Hartford CT), which eventually acquired Bemis & Call and Pexto, and was in turn acquired by Crescent and merged with Barcalo and Bridgeport), The 'multihex' brand of Herbrand (Fremont, Ohio), the inventor of Chrome Vanadium steel The 'controlled steel' brand of J. P. Danielson (Jamestown, NY: a partnership of J.P. D. and Karl Peterson, who left to found Crescent Tool). (The two potential collectibles (the IHC wrench and the C&NW Railway wrench) held out for a day or two for further research [delivered to the sale on Saturday 2014-09-05, with informative labels. Received and priced by Bill H.] The handful of screwdriver bits (except Yankee) and Allen wrenches from this batch have been transferred to batch 2014-09-03 for sorting.)
11 (2014-09-03)	2014-09-03 (part 1)	2014-09-04	2014-09-10 (picture 1) 2014-09-10 (picture 2) 2014-09-10 (picture 3) [Still outstanding: one screwdriver (in need of a ferrule); two wood chisels (in need of sharpening or reshaping and/or handles); one square file (in need of a handle); and five (?) cold chisels (in need of de-mushrooming and regrinding). Also retaining the Yankee bits till I have time to set them out effectively for sale.] [Completed the regrinding of the cold chisels, the provision of a ferrule, the sharpening of the wood chisels, and the creation of new handles for a chisel and file over the weekend 9/13-9/14. RETURNED 2014-09-17]	Allen wrenches, screwdriver bits, and a few similar items (small, sized, difficult to sell). Hope to be able to create sets of the more common sizes and package them, perhaps accompanied by an SAE size chart or metric size chart Sized all the allen wrenches, created seven fairly complete sets, sent the most complete metric set to the Bicycle Department as agreed; bagged each set with a size chart; bagged the remaining individual Allen wrenches by size; set out a few of each size, priced per size ($0.25 smaller than 1/8"; $0.50 smaller than 1/4"; $0.75 smaller than 3/8"; $1.00 for larger sizes, and similarly for metric. Separated the Yankee bits by shank size (5/16" [for the model 131 etc.); 9/32" (for the model 130 etc.); 7/32" (for the model 135 etc.). Also sized the Yankee push drill shank sizes (5/32" and 7/32"). Will set a few of each out as with the Allen wrenches. Small screwdriver bits were bagged up by length and type and priced by the bag. .
	2014-09-03 (part 2)			Lots of screwdrivers, including bits and pieces from several 'four-in-hand' screwdrivers; four hammers, and a few miscellaneous tools. The screwdrivers were made as presentable as possible. Some handles repainted or refinished; some chipped blades reground; all of them cleaned. The pile of 4-in-hand parts were resolved into a half dozen complete screwdrivers and a can of parts. Can of parts was set aside, the complete drivers priced at $2 each. There were also a number of bits belonging to multi-bit screwdriver sets (the kind with two 'wings' at the top of the shaft), but none of them seemed to fit any handle currently in stock. Those too were put in the can of screwdriver parts. Most of the screwdrivers remain unpriced for the moment, but have been relegated (along with most of the screwdrivers already out for sale) to the under-the-counter overflow box of ready-to-sell tools. There are simply too many screwdrivers. Still to do: size, price, and perhaps put together a set of nut drivers, which have been lumped in with the screwdrivers; and make sure that odd-ball screwdrivers (especially Torx) are adequately represented in the items available for sale. Tiny screwdrivers were segregated and put in the jar of tiny screwdrivers.
	2014-09-05 (part 3)			The miscellaneous drawers emptied: drill bits and so forth; bagged up, then spread out on the Washington St. sidewalk for a quick photo. Set screws were separated out, to be either sold or returned to the Kiwanis hardware drawer. Drill bits were first divided roughly into 'sharp' and 'dull'; the dull ones were set aside to be kept for future sharpening? Or for sale as a job lot? the sharp ones were all individually sized, indvidually priced, and indvidually labeled, and were set out in the drill-bit block as before. Various miscellaneous bits and socket parts (e.g. drywall bits, magnetic bit holders, socket adapters, etc.) were all dumped in the $0.50 wrenches, etc. tray.
12 (2014-09-10)	2014-09-10	Done, 2014-09-12.	2014-09-17	Very small batch -- a few bits to sort, a couple of drill gauges to de-rust, along with some nut picks, a bottle opener, and a razor-blade scraper. Done. Except that one nutpick disappeared: the wire wheel flung it across the garage, landing ... somewhere. Sized and priced the drill bits individually as before.
2014-09-17 All previously checked-out items now checked in.
13 (2014-09-17)	2014-09-17		2014-09-24 (photographed on loading dock at warehouse)	Another batch of screwdrivers, tin snips, pliers, hacksaw, adj square, a couple of misc small items. [A no-name CLAW HAMMER ADDED on Saturday 9/20: had been put out for sale, overpriced at $6, rusty, with paint-spattered handle and loose head; I de-rusted and polished head, sanded down and refinished handle, removed head from handle, removed fragments of old epoxy, re-bedded in fresh epoxy and added steel wedges; now perhaps worth $5.] The pink "4-in-1" screwdriver had apparently been pounded on a little, so that the tubular shaft spread a bit at one end, and would no longer slide into the handle; I turned it down a little on the grinder and it works ok now.
2014-09-24 All previously checked-out items now checked in.
A huge batch that will take a while to get through, taken from the 18 (?) boxes of tools sorted through at the warehouse on 24 September by Doug, Bill, Jim, and myself.
14 (2014-09-24)	2014-09-24 part 1 2014-09-24 part 2 2014-09-24 part 3 2014-09-24 part 4		Too many to fit in one photo: 2014-10-01 (picture 1) 2014-10-01 (picture 2) 2014-10-01 (picture 3) 2014-10-01 (picture 4)	Got through most of them the first weekend, albeit by cutting a few corners. Including: three claw hammers, a rip hammer, two hatchets, four pipe wrenches (from 6" to 24", including a 24" Merit Stillson and an 18" GTD); a pair of genuine visegrips, a small vise, several cold chisels and punches, several wood chisels (some with broken handles), a pair of Wiss shears, an airframe-industry 90 deg drill attachment (1/4"-28) with a number 0 Jacob's chuck; about a dozen files (from needle to large 'western cut'); a Goodell-Pratt push drill; a small Yankee (North Bros.); a very corroded set of Indestro box wrenches; an unusual jar wrench; water-pump pliers (flimsy); several putty knives, including one 'chisel cut'; a flat wrecking bar; a Bridgeport nail puller (to which I added a stop made of hickory); about a dozen screwdrivers and nut drivers; a low-end hand drill; a dozen stamped proprietary wrenches; a Bemis & Call S-wrench, somewhat bent but functional; a pair of Pexto pliers; an odd old C-clamp; a 2" Pony C-clamp; two badly abused Stanley awls; a fairly large set of hex-drive sockets (Duro??); a couple of ice picks; some linesman's pliers, mostly abused, but one good pair of Bokers; two or three pair of needle-nose pliers, including an old Kraeuter; four pair of old-style snips; one pair of new-style snips; a couple of utility knives; a couple of wooden-handled knives of uncertain purpose; a tuck pointer (?); a cheap Craftsman adj square; a pair of tiny snips; two nice solid bit braces (a Stanley and a Pexto); a tack hammer; a rule minus its square head; a box of ok drill bits; a box of dull or damaged drill bits; a couple of Allen wrenches (one of them a genuine Allen); a few ok box wrenches; a block plane; a tile nipper; about a dozen open-end wrenches; a few hacksaw blades; a pair of kitchen/utility shears; a pair of Bernard-style small pliers; a caulking iron; (?); some misc pliers; a ratcheting ball-head screwdriver; a tire gauge; a couple of square-shank thingies (countersinks, screwdriver, etc.); a ball-peen hammer; an auto wrench; some kind of hand-modified linoleum knife (?); and a few things I couldn't identify.
			2014-10-08	The remaining tools are returned, except for the two wooden levels.
			2016-03-03	(10/20: I'm still polishing away at the brasses and refinishing the two levels. Finally finished and returned them in March of 2016!!! a year and a half late)
15 (2014-10-01)	2014-10-01		2014-10-08	A very small batch of things that happened to be lying around.
16 (2014-10-08)	2014-10-08		2014-10-15	A small batch of things that seemed to have been left for me to deal with. I also took away the dullest of the drill bits and borrowed the drill sharpener to see if it works, or if I could learn to make it work, well enough to sharpen some some of our worse-off bits and put them out to sell. ... Had no luck sharpening drills, so returned them as is, along with the sharpener. Accidentally left the shears behind when returning these, will bundle them into the next returned batch.
17 (2014-10-15)	2014-10-15		2014-10-29	A handful of things extracted from under the counter. De-rusted, sharpened and repainted, mostly. Razor knife given a new blade.
18 (2014-10-29)	2014-10-29		2014-11-05	Mostly from the four boxes of B-grade stuff brought over from the warehouse.
19 (2014-11-05)	2014-11-05		2014-11-12	Mostly from two donated toolboxes
20 (2014-11-12)	2014-11-12		2014-11-26	Some slightly soiled stuff, nothing very interesting except for the two surgical instruments made by Zimmer (a 9mm drill and a 0.270" reamer) intended perhaps for knee-replacement surgery or ACL surgery [accidentally left at work and not returned until batch 23, q.v.]. Curiosity value only, I think. A couple of decent pliers (Oxwall and Utica). Some nice files. Spade bits,. Heavy perfect-handle screwdriver. Four channellock imitators. Beat-up aluminum vise.
21 (2014-11-22)	2014-11-22			A few items picked up on the Saturday that we closed for icy conditions.
22 (2014-11-26)	2014-11-26		2014-12-10	Managed to get the chrome-plated aluminium English teapot interior almost completely clean (it was jet black to start with, from years of tea accumulation) by soaking it a week in vinegar, scrubbing with a scotchbrite pad, adding Comet, scrubbing for a couple of hours, then soaking in baking soda to kill the vinegar smell.
23 (2014-12-10)	2014-12-10		2014-12-17	A miscellany of lightly rusted items (vise grips, channellocks, Gerber utility shears, keyhole saw, mastic knife, two ice picks [one lost in bag and not returned till batch 25, q.v.], SK 5/8" drive handle, screwdriver, multi-screwdriver, tiny block plane, long (Chinese) needle-nose pliers, snapring pliers, file, old-fashioned tool holder), plus a few chisels that needed sharpening and a couple of previously cleaned-and-priced hammers with loose heads that required re-wedging.

25 (2014-12-31)	2014-12-31		2015-01-14	A soldering gun that didn't work (now works, but lights do not, and may not reach full temperature -- note odd burn mark on the coil, internally, suggesting some kind of failure--; a couple of files and screw drivers; a partial set of augers in a plastic sleeve; a chisel in need of sharpening, a Kershaw (Japanese) blade-trader knife (?1098AK?) with the handle (BT-H) and only a single removable drop-point blade (probably the BT3) -- very very dull, but still a Kershaw; a couple of small electrical tools (stripper, nipper), a utility knife in need of a blade, an extra-long 7/16"-14 nut- or pulley- tap with a taper chamfer (feels like bright-finish HSS), a Lodge cast-iron skillet with a rusty bottom, and a bunch of low-end putty knives. A small broken hammer (handle salvageable for later use.) Also includes a couple of bags of about 40 loose Allen wrenches, which I sized and distributed either into sets or into the bags of sorted Allen wrenches under the counter. (not pictured.)
26 (2015-01-07)	2015-01-07 (part 1) 2015-01-07 (part 2) 2015-01-07 (part 3) 2015-01-07 (part 4) 2015-01-07 (part 5)		2015-01-14 2015-01-14 2015-01-14 2015-01-14	A large lot of stuff from the warehouse.

			2015-01-21
27 (2015-01-14)	2015-01-14		2015-01-21	Three objects only: a hacksaw-blade holder, a hand-made file holder, and a basic pair of slip-joint pliers. Cleaned the file (float); replaced the blade in the blade holder.
28 (2015-01-21)	2015-01-21		2015-01-28	Mostly sockets to sort. A French bread baker. A nameless drill with rusty chuck (cleaned it, lubed it), a putty knife, and a couple of pairs of needle-nose pliers (Kraeuter and Fulton). A number of drill bits, mostly dull. Mixed quality. An SK 1/2" ratchet handle; a Proto 3/8" ratchet; a few lesser brands or brandless. A pair of basic tongs that was very floppy and a little rusty (removed the rust; tightened the rivet joint.).

			2015-02-04 Forgot to return this (incomplete) set last time.
29 (2015-01-28)	2015-01-28		2015-02-11	Small miscellaneous batch. A hunting knife, a few putty knives, a rusty spade bit, a cheap mini-bar clamp. A few sockets and Allen wrenches to clean/size/sort. Some sort of bathtub gadget that might be sellable if the rust is removed. Will try.
30 (2015-02-04)	2015-02-04		2015-02-11	Several hammers of slight value with loose heads. Need cleaning and head-tightening. Plus a couple of other items: a hacksaw frame (gave it a new bimetal Nicholson blade), a pair of tongs (de-rusted it), and a hatchet (tightened the head and sharpened it)..
31 (2015-02-11)	2015-02-11		2015-02-11	Not a refurb batch: a few donations by pfs obtained at an estate sale and ReStore.
32 (2015-02-11)	2015-02-11		2015-02-18	Stuff from the cabinet, to sort and size and remove the duplicates for sale. And a few rusty things, mostly files. This picture shows the stuff we'll keep for inhouse use. The little white case (incorrectly) held some Allen wrenches but it is really designed for drill bits, so I supplied most of it with new-old-stock drill bits from my Estate Sale stash, and left it in the toolbox for inhouse use.
			2015-02-18 2015-02-18	And these pictures show the stuff we'll put out for sale (except two of the files, which ended up in the under-the-counter toolbox.).
33 (2015-02-18)	2015-02-18		2015-02-25, picture 1 2015-02-25, picture 2 2015-02-25, picture 3	A large lot of tiny dental tools to sort out and organize. Also a handful of miscellaneous things needing cleaning. Orthodontic pliers sorted by varieties, so as to allow one of each kind to be set out for sale in a new display box (see picture) each week. Likewise for the dental burrs and the pointy things (scalers, probes, etc.), also in a new display box each. The unsellable stuff (teeth, etc.) sent to Antiques. Miscellaneous bits of braces put together in a box to be sold as a batch to crafters / jewelry makers, etc. Some things set aside in despair of how to try to sell them.
34 (2015-02-25)	2015-02-25		2015-03-04	A handful of rusty things: a backsaw (no-name), a 'spouto' spout former, and a basic A&J can opener. Also (not shown because picked up on Saturday), a General pin vise and a Craftsman 3/8" x 2" socket extension.
35 (2015-03-04)	2015-03-04		2015-03-11	A handful of odd items of no special interest: a plastic-handled back saw with some minor surface rust; a grater ditto; a can opener ditto; a long 3/8" bit that could use cleaning; a few screwdriver bits ditto; a cheap rubber mallet whose rubber handle needed taping and handle could use cleaning. Nothing special. (the padlock and the spade bit pictured are random donations by me.)
36 (2015-03-11)	2015-03-11		2015-03-18	Nothing but a pair of saws. Derusted and replaced one of the screws.
37 (2015-03-18)	2015-03-18		2015-03-18	Several things I picked up last week at an estate sale and at the Habitat ReStore, cleaned up a bit (repainted the wrench, etc.), then re-donated to K.
38 (2015-03-18)	2015-03-18		2015-03-25	Not much de-rusting on these, but need to attach the guard to the grinder (and maybe supply a grinding disk); research, clean, and price the planes; and sort out and maybe complete the drill bit sets. ... Completed the one drill set, most of the other. Added a new grinding wheel to the grinder (from TSC). Sized the Allen wrenches. Where did that screwdriver go? It's probably still in the cleaning solution.
39 (2015-03-25)	2015-03-25		2015-04-01	A few things I picked up last week at the Habitat ReStore, cleaned up a bit, then re-donated to K (some to Hdw, some to Office Supplies).
40 (2015-03-25)	2015-03-25		2015-04-01	A few rusty items and my tubular Allen wrench sorter, brought home to re-organize. Cleaned the rusty things. Re-sized and -sorted the Allen wrenches into individual sleeves (one sleeve per size), as shown.
			2015-04-01
41 (2015-04-04)	2015-04-04		2015-04-04	A few things I picked up last week at the Habitat ReStore, three rummage sales, and an estate sale, cleaned up a bit, then re-donated to K . Total K. price ca. $50. Channellock (genuine); a couple of wood chisels; German caliper; Boker pliers; Chinese pipe wrench; etc.
42 (2015-04-04)	2015-04-04		2015-04-11	1/2" socket wrenches to sort -- plan to put them in a drawer set like the 3/8" and 1/4" if that will work. A few tools to clean (augmented by one more hammer, picked up on Saturday). A set of small-part drawers to sort out, thinking of starting up a sorted collection of small hardware bits and fasteners, etc. to be sold individually. May not work. Brought back the cleanable items, kept the small drawers and socket wrenches to mull over some more.Ended up putting the 1/2" sockets on a 'sorter' instead, made from recycled orange snowplow sticks (q.v.).
			2015-04-15
43 (2015-04-09)	2015-04-09		2015-04-09	A few more things I picked up last week at the Habitat ReStore, cleaned up a bit, then re-donated to K . A Stanley no. 2 try square, much abused but usable (Stanley Rule & Level, with 1896 fingergrip patent means a date of 1900-1920); a visegrip knockoff; a cotter pin remover; a few files; a small Craftsman cold chisel; a Stanley 'Handyman' adjustable square; and half a wrench (one end had been cut off), marked "5/8" (actual AF opening 1-1/8" or 1-3/16") and stamped "UNDERGROUND". No idea what that means. The sizing seems to indicate an American pre-1929 structural wrench marked with the nominal size of the head of the US-std. 5/8" bolt
44 (2015-04-09)	2015-04-09		2015-04-15	A tiny batch barely worth mentioning. A Bemis and Call C-clamp, potato peeler, screwdriver, decent open end wrench (handed me by G.I.), and a few hex-drive sockets (not square-drive).
45 (2015-04-15)	2015-04-15		2015-04-15	A few more things I picked up last week at the Habitat ReStore, cleaned up a bit, then re-donated to K . A crowbar, badly pitted (cleaned, sharpened and repainted it in effort to turn sow's ear into silk purse.) A couple of slipjoint pliers (CeeTee and Boker), a padlock, a couple of open end wrenches, small, a no-name block plane, cork-backed ruler, razor blade scraper, a few 1/2" sockets, and an Arrow T50 staple gun in very good condition, just required a little polishing.
46 (2015-04-15)	2015-04-15		2015-04-23	A tiny batch but a nice one: a Visegrip welding clamp (blech), and a complete small SK Wayne 1/2" socket set with set of combination wrenches in a rusty box. Plan to try to clean and repaint the box and repack everything.
47 (2015-04-18)	2015-04-18			A few rusty things that came in through the Dock on Saturday, and a dual-voltage immersion blender with a European plug that needed an American one (from Doug Hanton). Replaced the plug. cleaned everything, ground off the mushrooming on the (Kraeuter) chisel and sharpened it. I see that I forgot to return the feeler gauge. Next time.
48 (2015-04-23)	2015-04-23		2015-04-23	A few things I picked up last week at the Habitat ReStore and at an estate sale in Tecumseh, cleaned up and re-donated to K. A Cin-Tool c-clamp (stamped), Adjustable 2" C-clamp, no-name needle-nose pliers, classic Arrow T50 staple gun in excellent condition, no-name side nippers, Yankee Handyman (pre-Stanley) no. 133H spiral screwdriver, a few socket wrenches, a few combination wrenches, a good claw hammer, a Craftsman 1/4" cold chisel (resharpened), a small awl.
49 (2015-04-23)	2015-04-23		2015-04-30	Some rusty things needing cleaning. Some mysterious things needing identifying. Some nice things needing pricing. A Starrett 231 1" micrometer (fair condition, screw stiff, probably worth about $20 on eBay, K. price $6-12. A Starrett 1-2" micrometer, eBay price ca. $18, K. price $6-12. A Dunlap hand-saw 'jointer' (arrangement for holding a file consistently across the teeth of a saw to level them) in original box. Nice but not particularly collectible. $2-$5?? An old periscope of some kind (with some broken class inside), apparently designed to fit on something else, not present -- a mystery. [NOW identified: apparently an optical sight for a Vietnam-vintage M40 105 mm recoilless rifle (anti-tank gun). Definitely a curiosity, though not very useful without the cannon.] Some sort of strange clamp designed to clamp to a flat surface and hold a tubular object (a lamp???) at various angles to it. No idea. An interesting Triplett 310 VOM (the classic pocket volt-ohmmeter) in a heavily customized version made for IBM with IBM markings. Test leads are missing. Unknown whether it is in working condition, the state of its batteries and/or fuses, etc. Untested, probably worth about $20; in good condition, complete, more than $100 (?) -- eBay prices. A small-sized Straitline laser level (shows battery corrosion--cleaned it, gave it new batteries, and it works). An adjustable wrench [with Indian Motocycles markings; without markings usu K. price about $5-6; with markings, $12-$15?]. Several pairs of nippers. A pair of Utica side nippers, a cheap bent-out-of-shape needle nose (tried to bend it back into shape). A generic Chinese linesman's plier. An unnamed 8" try square. Unnamed wood chisel. A linoleum knife that needs sharpening.. Anonymous block plane. A few odd wrenches. A "NASH no. 1" DOE wrench -- one of a set of three issued with Nash automobiles and therefore a minor collectible, except that no one collects them (a friend on the Tool Talk site said that he had one for sale for years and finally sold it to someone named "Nash" ; I have a friend who drives a Nash, perhaps I'll buy it and give it to them.) An Adel 'nibbler' (a useful but not beautiful tool, still available new at $30, used $12-15; Kiwanis price $8-10?.
50 (2015-04-26)	2015-04-26			A few rusty things that came in through the Dock on Saturday. A generic 9" autowrench. Many putty knives, etc. A 'blue bird no. 007' snips (??). A Stanley platic-handled wood chisel. A nice Dasco cold chisel that just needs a little sharpening to be perfect. A Stanley prick awl. A rattail file.
51 (2015-04-30)	2015-04-30		2015-05-06	A tiny batch, with some interesting items to price. Some sort of (uninteresting) saw blade. A Millers Falls multi-angle jab saw. A Japanese mortise gauge (worth ca. $20-$30 new to judge by Lee Valley and Traditional Woodworker mailorder prices); K. price ca. $10. A Mitutoyo no. 132-129 depth micrometer with 6 extensions, in a case with foam rot [replaced the foam, cleaned up the box and tool]. Low-end ebay price is about $60; K. price $30?? A set of General (Craftsman-branded) radius gauges unfortunately missing half of them (should be 24, only 12 in the case). If complete worth maybe $20; incomplete, virtually valueless, alas..
52 (2015-05-02)	2015-05-02			A few rusty things that came in through the Dock on Saturday (a Japanese pull saw, Chines pipe wrench and tired-looking rubber mallet, slip-joint pliers, and a bunch of Allen wrenches and screw drivers). And an ammo box to carry them in (on the latter see notes below).
53 (2015-05-02B)	2015-05-02		2015-05-06 (part 1) 2015-05-06 (part 2)	A few things (actually more than a few things) I picked up last week at the Saline Flea Market and Habitat ReStore, cleaned up and re-donated to K. Include a 9" Ford-marked adjustable 'auto wrench'; a no-name eggbeater-style hand drill; ...
54 (2015-05-06)	2015-05-06		2015-05-13	A tiny batch barely worth mentioning. A
55 (2015-05-13)	2015-05-13		2015-05-13	A few things donated by me.
56 (2015-05-13)	2015-05-13		2015-05-20	A small batch. Discarded the hammer stapler since it was missing parts. Donated the Scotch tape. Cleaned the crow bar with my new electrolysis tank.
57 (2015-05-27)	2015-05-27		2015-06-03	A small batch. No "before" picture for these.
58 (2015-06-03)	2015-06-03		2015-06-10	A single drill bit. Didn't bother photographing its return, sorry. But it did clean up nicely.
59 (2015-06-24)	2015-06-24		2015-06-24	A few things donated by me.
60 (2015-06-24)	2015-06-24 pt 1 2015-06-24 pt 2 2015-06-24 pt 3		2015-07-13 pt 1 2015-07-13 pt 2 2015-07-13 pt 3 2015-07-13 pt 4 2015-07-13 pt 5	A large batch from three sources: (1) a crate of tools left by Mario on 6/24 to be picked up at the warehouse; (2) some things that needed to be cleared out from under the counter preparatory to the great move; and (3) a few additional things left to be picked up from the warehouse on 7/1. Some rusty items, some items that simply needed to be held back till the new space is complete, some things needing sorting and sizing, some outright junk. Noticed one "Happi-Time" chisel (Sears' line of tools for boys, ca. 1960.) One older model MagCharger with internal corrosion and no battery pack. One decent Stanley no. 17 square. Brought back once the new basement location was ready to kick off a new era.

63 (2015-07-14)	(no 'before' picture)		2015-07-15	A few things encountered during the MOVE.
64 (2015-07-22)	2015-07-22		2015-07-29	A small batch from current donations. Took the sockets simply to turn them into a set, the rest for cleaning.
65 (2015-07-25)	2015-07-25			A box of rusty tools that came in during the Saturday sale and was set aside for me during sorting.
66 (2015-07-29)	2015-07-29		2015-07-29	A few things donated by me, mostly acquired last weekend from a Saline estate sale.

68 (2015-07-31)	2015-07-31			a larger load from KW
69 (2015-08-12)	2015-08-12		2015-08-19 pt 1 2015-08-19 pt 2	The 'before' photo includes mostly the hand tools, but the batch, mostly from KW (plus a few things left for me at KAC), included lots of loose hardware and a few powertools, which are (mostly) included in the 'after' / 'returned' photo. I cleaned the lovely Proto wrenches, the two squares, and the two saws; repainted the lug wrenches, cleaned the Stanely Defiance adj square; recognized and assembled the pieces of the grommet kit; tested the fake Dremel; polished the sugar dispenser; cleaned, reglued, and supplied a new blade for the scroll-head Craftsman saber saw; provided a new sanding belt for the sander; cleaned, tested and provided a chuck key and handle for the nice Skil geared-down 1/2" drill; cleaned the Pony clamps, vise, brace, putty knives, screwdrivers, pliers, and files.

71 (2015-08-19)	2015-08-19 pt 1 2015-08-19 pt 2		2015-08-26 part 1 (bulk of items returned) 2015-08-26 part 2 (second half of picture) 2015-08-26 part 3 (some separated collectible items)	A box of things left with my name on it. Looks like the leavings of an estate sale? With a collector of some sort involved at some point. Note the genuine Coes monkey wrench ("Made under L. Coes Patents. Coes Wrench Company, Worcester, Mass."); the bunch of augers, each from a different maker (P.S.&W., Irwin, Russel Jennings, "Passaic", Ives, KeenKutter (Simmons)); the six-prong ice pick; the hog-ring pliers and (?) fencing pliers; the lot of saw sets; the Stanley no. 59 (dowel jig, minus the drill templates); the odd little stamped vise; the General drill sharpener (minus vital pieces); the Snap-On pliers; the lasting pliers (bent); the Mossberg (?) sockets (with a broken ratchet). This looks rather like the dregs of a collector's stuff, after all the good, intact, items had been sold.
72 (2015-08-22)	2015-08-22 pt 1 2015-08-22 pt 2 2015-08-22 pt 3			Another box of things set aside for me at KW. ("I saw rust and sent them to Paul.") Looks like it came from the same source as the previous box. Note especially the saw sets, a couple of unusual pliers (including an English-made W. C. Wynn no. 3 lasting plier (somewhat bent out of shape), and the miscellany of American-made general-purpose and implement wrenches (Indestro, Whitman & Barnes). Still a bit of a feeling of dregs about this lot: the small pipe wrench is broken. One of the sawsets has been brazed; the lasting pliers are bent; the W&B "Terrier no. 10" alligator wrench has well-worn teeth; the "S.S. & Son" little pruners have a broken catch and lots of play in the pivot. A couple of nice things here, nevertheless.

A daunting variety of things. Derusted a lot. Repainted the trailer hitches and jack stands. Sorted the sockets into two sets. Bought the motor, cause it was too heavy to carry in to KAC. The drill and saber saw are both still at home (the former needs a new cord and switch repair, the latter a new cord, a new non-standard blade, and also switch repair: both may be not worth saving.
76 (2015-09-09)	2015-09-09		2015-09-09	A few things donated by me, including a nice Armstrong pin spanner and a cheap try square.
77 (2015-09-09)	2015-09-09		2015-09-16	a few things left for me to deal with. The saws are still at home awaiting electrolysis. Repainted, unbent, sharpened, and refinished the garden tools. Lubed the Dremel and found it a collet wrench.

The damaged green extension cord looked promising, but stank to high heaven. I could smell it outside from 20 feet away. So I threw it away (after wrapping it in plastic!)
80 (2015-09-23)	2015-09-23		2015-09-23	A few things donated by Robb and myself.

82 (2015-09-30)	2015-09-30		2015-09-23	One tool from me.
83 (2015-10-03)	2015-10-03		2015-10-07 2015-10-03	a few things left for me to deal with at KAC and KW. Also brought over directly from KW to KAC a 12" Craftsman bandsaw; lost the throat plate along the way (on the KW loading dock??) and made a new one on Tuesday night (shown). Replaced the cords and blades and several power tools, cobbled together two compass saws from parts. painted tool boxes, combined a set of pipe-clamp parts (newly cleaned and painted) with a piece of pipe obtained at the Habitat ReStore to make a pipe clamp (and priced it at $10.) The little blue (repainted) torch box is from me.

This batch was apparently picked up on the 17th of Oct but not returned till after our return from Europe, by which time it was mixed in with other batches.

The nails and other loose hardware is still (12/5) awaiting final disposition. The "returned" items do not quite align with the "received" items as a backlog begins to gather on the porch, living room, garage, etc.!

The Sloane book(s) and trammels are from Al. (I added the oak strip to mount them on, as well as the little rack for selling solder rolls.)

The fixed-end socket wrenches are from Robb P. I supplied the new tape and the roller-dispenser with little bags, as well as the display block for taps and a new handle for the frog gig. The loose hardware, etc., is from KW.
93 (2015-12-19)			2015-12-23	A small batch mostly from KW. Receipt pictures missing. I didn't do much to these aside from a new handle for the chisel and a lube job on the planer.
94 (2015-12-26)			2016-01-02, pt 1 2016-01-02, pt 2	A small batch mostly of things that had been accumulating at home. Receipt pictures missing. New handles on the chisels, new display block for the pipe taps, new sanding belt and bag-patches and plug on the belt sander (see the red patches! -- mice had eaten holes. Required bleaching too!) De-rusting and some new handle screws on the saws. New crystals on the level. Cleaned and sharpened the cleaver. The nicest tool here, however, is the D.R. Barton slick--derusted and slightly sharpened.
95 (2016-01-02)	2016-01-02		2016-01-02	A few things donated by myself: welding clamp, auto-9 wrench, German hand drill, etc..

102 (2016-01-30)	2016-01-30, pt 1 2016-01-30, pt 2 2016-01-30, pt 3			An unsorted and large heap of raw arrivals from Kiwanis West. Including a box of golf balls, an aged toolbox with a cool interior, a badminton set, some lighting, a large amazingliny patched canvas army tarp, a box of pots and pans, and a functioning sling shot (catapult). The small spotlight I gave a new bulb (from ReStore); for the Colman propane lantern I bought a new glass and a pair of new clip-on mantles ($15), then put an $18 price on the whole thing (it sells for $40 at Meijer.) A luggage cart (sent to Luggage). Office supplies (sent there.) Lots of loose fasteners (mostly nails); bagged some for sale, put some in the loose hardware bin.
103 (2016-02-06)	2016-02-06		2016-02-06	a few things rushed in before the sale on Saturday, from previous batches. The little vise was nice but severely corroded. The larger one is on hold by a customer. The worklight was dirty and lacked a bulb so I bought it one. Oh, and the ratchet strap (a fairly nice one) was rusted completely solid, so I did a thorough de-rust and lube on that.
104 (2016-02-03)	2016-02-03		2016-02-10	a few laggards, the nail puller arrived last Saturday, the rest were from previous batches, awaiting action.. The chisel by Ohio Tool needed de-rusting, a complete re-grinding to get large 1/4" nicks out, then reshaping on two belt sanders and a new home-made handle. The nail puller (a Smith & Hemenway Giant no. 1, pat. 1881), needed derusting and repainting. The flashlights had been re-purposed as test ligts, but the test leads were broken, so I re-converted them flashlights, attached eye bolts to the test-lead-holes, and gave them new batteries. Now they're working flashlights that you can hang up :)

106 (2016-02-13)	2016-02-13 2016-02-13 2016-02-13 2016-02-13			From KW. Mostly bins of loose hardware: valuable, but hard to sell. I'm a little doubtful about the safety harnesses (since those who use such things don't want used ones -- regs require new, tested, inspected equipment with documented history). But the retractable lanyard, if new, would be valuable (ca. $350 for a new one, online). The rolling toolbox will sell. Some of the loose hardware I left in bins to give unit prices too ("$0.50 each"); alot I bagged into small batches; and some I discarded or put in the misc loose hardware bin. The utility-blade knives and sgl-edge razor blades (in the coffee can), I taped into groups of five to sell as spares, except the broken or non-standard ones (discarded). The ladder and the Craftsman drill kit (shown in the returns) never made it home, but went directly from KW to KAC: they are both from Al or Al's truck, carried at his request. The little Ryobi kit is interesting but pretty useless: a novelty item, really: a battery-powered suction cup to which you can attach a laser level or 'helping hand', or flat base. Takes 6 AA batteries. Works, but a waste of batteries. The most troublesome objects are the remote modules for the X10 PowerHouse or Radio Shack 'plug'n'power' remote-control system. These are interchangeable (I think) but will work only in what is now an old-fashioned remote-control electrical setup. Therefore would require a very specific customer. Consider trying to sell them all as a lot on eBay (they go for $15-$20 each on eBay, if anyone buys them.)
107 (2016-02-24)	2016-02-24		2016-02-24	A tiny batch of things from me, especially diesel stuff made useless by my trading in my diesel.
108 (2016-02-27)	2016-02-27		2016-03-03 pt 1 2016-03-03 pt 2	A small lot from KW. Straightened the 'nifty nabber' to workable condition. Replaced the cord on a nice B&D 6 1/2" utility saw (not shown -- from KAC). A nice manual battery charger, required no work. Turned a loose batch of xActo stuff into carded sets. A Ryobi detail sander seems almost new, in original box. Lots of mounted bearings, a good deal to the right customer. A box of brass hinges (new) would be nice if we didn't already have so many brass hinges. Several decent c-clamps, aluminum, malleable iron, and 'semi-steel' required only a little de-rusting and lubrication. A visegrip. A small ok vise. Gave a new blade to an xActo jeweler's saw. Sharpened and de-mushroomed a cold chisel. A couple of decent calipers. Very basic marking gauge. A drill doctor: will try on our collection of donated dull bits. Some foil tape. A hand knife sharpener. Some loose hardware. A pair of linesman's pliers (noname) a Handyman push drill; a couple of rat-tail files; a plastic drill gauge; a Yankee offset ratcheting screwdriver; a knockoff ratcheting screwdriver, barely functional; a nice strong hacksaw frame; some shaft collars; a little test light; one of those awful 12v compressors that barely emits enough air to fill a balloon. Some dental picks, mostly broken. Two Craftsman powered wet-grinding-wheels (tried them: they work but don't produce staggering results, and of course will only achieve a hollow grind, which is not right for everything.) The Maglite is missing its switch cover and (when given fresh batteries) doesn't work. Not sure if it's the switch or the bulb; will try new bulb and will hold out for a salvageable switch cover (pretty worthless as is). A few interesting things: a Stanley butt gauge; the chuck from a Goodell-Pratt push drill (useless on its own, since it uses proprietary flanged G-P bits); a well-worn rethreading tool; some sort of small-nut-holder; a couple of split screwdrivers; a couple of eye loupes (and one broken one); an unusual but primitive offset screwdriver; a pair of French pliers; a small machinist's parallel-jaw clamp; a Starrett pin vise; a basic wire stripper of uncommon make. Also returned a cold chisel that's been hanging around waiting for it to be warm enough for me to use the 'big grinder' out in the shed to de-mushroom the head (and sharpen and repaint it, as usual.)
109 (2016-03-03)	2016-03-03 2016-03-05		2016-03-07 2016-03-07 (vise)	Some things left for me to deal with downtown, mostly out of a single Craftsman tool box (shown); a few items picked up while culling previous items for clearance. Not much of interest, except three items that probably don't belong to Hardware at all, viz., three pieces of vintage (ca. 1900?) telegraph equipment: two keys and a sounder, missing parts. A cheap (stamped-body) block plane, rusty crimper, rusty linesman's pliers (Utica), rusty scissors, oil-filter wrench, two specialty outboard-engine tools, lots of loose sockets, a General circle cutter no. 4, a few small tools and screwdriver bits, two tire gauges. A Rayovac flashlight in poor condition. BORING! I gave the flashlight a derusting and new batteries and a new ring to hang it by, cleaned the nice large Brink & Cotton c-clamp ($10) and the Stanley claw hammer ($5), sharpened a few things, added an Allen wrench to the newly cleaned hole cutter, and fabricated a new fixed base for the 4" Wilton vise that came in without one ($20). Put a new battery in the multitester and tested it. Put a new spring on the telegraph key and sent it to electronics.
110 (2016-03-05)			2016-03-05	This curious 3-wheel BVI hobbyists' chain-drive bandsaw had been sitting on my porch for a month awaiting treatment. I cleaned, derusted, oiled, and repainted it, and brought it in before the sale on Saturday. Sold in less than ten minutes for $25.00.

Some of these were not returned until the next batch, especially a bunch of very dull and very abused wood and steel chisels (badly mushroomed) which required a lot of regrinding (see below), etc.
116 (2016-03-30)	2016-03-30		2016-04-07 pt 1 2016-04-07 pt 2 2016-04-07 pt 3 2016-04-07 (detail)	A few things waiting for me on Wednesday morning. Including a nice Sargent/Brosnihan patent pipe wrench (with one ear broken off, but otherwise VG), a Winchester screwdriver, a nice little Erie pipe wrench. The two c-clamps in the returns are gifts from me (estate-sale leftovers). The wood chisels all required complete regrinding and reshaping. Mounted the Stanley ones to a card to sell as a set. The cold chisels were the usual abused lot, required a lot of grinding, de-rusting, and repainting. The visegrips were a bit rough but genuine, with early patent date.
117 (2016-04-07)	2016-04-07		2016-04-21	A few things picked up on Thursday during sort-and-price, including a small 30" x 1" Chinese belt sander that won't retain its belts and seems to offer no facilities for adjustment or tensioning. Brought home to look more carefully. A Stanley Handyman (low-end) smooth plane, badly rusty. A nondescript shingling hatchet, repainted a very ugly aluminum color and rusty and dull to boot. (The latter turned out to be a Craftsman, and looked much better once cleaned and sharpened and its handle repainted matte black.) Also put a new oversized handle on a brick hammer with a broken one that had been home for a while. Looked very nice and sold immediately!
118 (2016-04-21)	2016-04-21		2016-04-21	A tiny batch of things from me
119 (2016-04-23)	2016-04-23		2016-04-27	A few things from Mario at KW. The sander was one of those miserable noisy vibro-motor deals and basically worthless, so I tossed it (we have five other small portable sanders on the shelf at the moment.)
120 (2016-04-27)	2016-04-27		2016-04-21	A smsll batch of things from me, some obtained from the Methodist rummage sale.
121 (2016-05-01)	2016-05-01		2016-05-04 pt 1 2016-05-04 pt 2 2016-05-04 (detail)	A few things from Mario at KW. The Coleman spotlight cleaned up very nicely (used headlight plastic polish on the lens). The pad sander worked ok, gave it a new sheet of sandpaper. Put a new blade on the keyhole saw. The Wiss snips cleaned up beautifully, with derusting and a new paint job. The wood chisel is sadly abused and will take lots of regrinding. The Penens ratchet has a dodgy lever, requires shimming with a snap ring and lubing to work. Done. The Yankee screwdriver has its bit rusted into it. May not be salvageable. Among the returnees this time are two composed sets of sockets with S-K ratchets (a 1/2" set and a 3/8" - 1/4" set, mounted as shown for sale. The little Stanley clip-on level cleaned up nicely. Repainted and cleaned a nondescript 4' wooden level. Returned a circ saw that had not previously sold after giving it a cleaning. The seriously warn putty knife responded well to being reground and sharpened. So did the three prick awls. Put a new blade on the interesting deep-throated fret saw.
122 (2016-05-04)	2016-05-04		2016-05-04	A smsll batch of things from me, mostly from an estate sale.
123 (2016-05-07)	2016-05-07		2016-05-11	A rough-looking brush axe (de-rusted it, sharpened it, and gave it a new handle). Sickle (derusted). Splitting maul head (derusted, painted, gave it a new handle.) Some nice magnetic strip. Hammer with a broken handle (derusted, gave it a new handle.) Very nice Stanley flat max wrecking bar (cleaned it.) Interesting Navy-pattern hi-carbon steel cooking knife (cleaned, sharpened, bought it.) And (surprise!) a Coach-brand clutch in perfect condition (hand-delivered to the lady's clothing department).

126 (2016-05-21)	2016-05-21		2016-05-21 2016-05-23	A couple of handles purchased to refurb Kiwanis tools (as above). Plus a couple of minor gift items.
127 (2016-05-21)	2016-05-21		2016-05-13	A few things picked up from West. Plus the two heads that have been awaiting handles. The nice Brown & Sharpe micrometer depth gauge (#607) is from Al.
128 (2016-05-27 and -28)	2016-05-27 2016-05-28 pt 1 2016-05-27 pt 2		2016-05-30	A few things picked up mostly from West, a few from downtown. Brought all of these back on Memorial Day and forgot the camera, so no pictures on delivery. May take a few on Wednesday of the objects in place, if I can remember where they are (see below). Included two saber saws (one Craftsman, one generic Chinese), 1 drill, 1 curious BVI jigsaw, 2 pipe clams, 2 71/4" cir saw blades, 2 jab-in-the-ground flood lights, 1 ancient made-in-Hollywood stage light (gave to Antiques), some photo lites (gave to PHoto dept), 1 powermate (couldn't get it to charge), 1 plane (hung on wall), 2 handleless claw hammers (one Belknap/Bluegrass) (gave them handles, one a stubby, and cleaned), 1 orange outdoor ext cord, the depth gauge from Al, with a printout of the 1940 B& S catalogue, a buch of boring garden tools and hose fittings, and a dragonfly on a stick.
129 (2016-05-30)	2016-05-30		2016-06-01	A few things picked up from downtown on Memorial Day (they having been left for me.) Mostly a box of obsolete and grotty conduit and BX connectors, a lot of rusty augers (two of them bent), a hacksaw, a curious block plane (with the wrong iron?), a Fulton drawknife with the handles gone, a good Millers Falls bit brace (open ratchet), a few pop rivets, two expansive bits, a transitional plane with the wrong iron and some rusty plane parts, some solid solder (including a reel of lead-free tin/antimony solder), a rusted-out utility knife. The block plane seems salvageable, the rivets, expansive bits, solder, brace, and hacksaw useful, the plane parts a burden to keep and not sellable as is.
130 (2016-06-01)	2016-06-01		2016-06-01	A small batch of things from me, mostly from an estate sale or ReStore.

131 (2016-06-03)	2016-06-03		2016-06-09 2016-06-09	A few things picked up from West. Tested and cleaned the toaster. cleaned, unbent, sharpened and re-handled the Fulton drawknife; cleaned the two saws. Sharpened the blade of the scraper. Have had the three auto body hammers a while but put new handles on them and brought them in. Completed the set of bits. New blade on the hacksaw, cleaned the claw hammer. Tried everything I could to save the two mini-maglites, but the battery-caused corrosion was just too extreme. Saved for parts (?). Kept the cleaning pads to clean with.
132 (2016-06-09)	2016-06-09		2016-06-09	A small batch of things from me, probably from an estate sale or ReStore.

Tested the soldering irons. polished the blade of the pruning saw. de-rusted the clippers. de-rusted the pipe wrench and saws, replaced missing saw screws. Cleaned the brass plate on the Sargent level. tested the hammer drill and lamp, cleaned the pliers.

135 (2016-06-18)	2016-06-18		2016-06-18	Finally bought a blade and roll pin for this, cleaned it, and returned it. Been sitting on my porch for a while awaiting attention. (The saw came from K West, the blade, manual, and pin from me.)
