Another tool auction with mountains of machines & tool related items. This will be the VERY LAST auction of my life! Check out my playlist of auctions-- the link is below. TOOL AUCTIONS & ESTATE SALES studio.youtube...
The Hegner scroll saws are still, to this day, one of the, if not the best scroll saws available. Especially the "Polycut" line is absolutely marvellous - only matched by the Pégas scroll saws. Absolutely top-notch.
I purchased a new RBI Hawk 220vs professional scroll saw in 1992 when they were still made in America. Sold it in 2014 to a woodworking inlay artist. RBI saws were manufactured in Harrisonville, MO.
You cheered up a miserable rainy day in Northern England, You're so fortunate to have these auctions as we don't have anything like this in the UK, I would also be addicted. 😊
@@Je.Suis.Flaneur There is car boot sales in a field but I've only ever seen basic hand tools, no chance of finding a lathe or a sander like Mr Pete bought.
Hi Mr Pete, I was the old guy helping Matt (from Arkansas) get your little Hardinge speed lathe out of your basement last year. I have a 1"x42" sander like the one you bought with the Gould motor. Mine is a Craftsman, I bought it new, still works great. I enjoy all your videos. I enjoyed meeting you and talking with you about your muller and foundry. Earlier this year, I was gifted a home foundry. It doesn't have a muller so I've got to make one, the foundry came with about 25 gallons of Petrobond sand! I still have all the pictures I took of your muller. Thank you and keep making the great videos!
Thank you Lyle for the adventure. Regarding your auction adventures, It’s not because you have to, It’s because you can. If you stayed home, you’d probably be sitting on your laurels, rotting away. These auctions are what keeps you going. It’s always a thrill to travel with you and see what is available. I can’t wait until ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE progresses and we can reach through our computers to buy stuff at these auctions. It might be a dream, but it’s fun to think about. Have a great weekend, because watching your videos surely makes my weekend enjoyable. Let’s go to the next auction.
Have enjoyed your channel for years. Not many tool auctions around here. Went to a car show last father's day, bought an old Keller powered hack saw..for $100.00, complete minus motor. Will not have to build a Gingery saw from scratch. Love shop work...makes you think about what you are doing! Do not stop.
Hello Mr. Pete, I really love your auctions, I am glad you didn't stop going, thanks for sharing with us out there, really appreciate it, cheers from me and others. 😃👍👍👍👍👍
Well Mr. Pete, I thoroughly enjoyed coming along with you to the auction. It's hard for me to watch some gentleman's entire collection of tools laid out on a trailer for total strangers to paw through. Especially if the tools were treasured and kept in original boxes with all the paperwork. Seeing people rip into boxes tearing papers and box corners, then leaving items half in the torn boxes is sad. As far as items I would have bid on, it probably would have been some of the expendables. I saw a lot of grinding discs, rolls of emery tape, fasteners and shop supplies. I have just about everything I need as far as tools go. Had there been a nice size welding table I might have picked that up to.
Mr. Pete When we were kids growing up on the South Side of Chicago in the 50's, us kids would look forward to what we called "garbage picking". Scrounging around down our local back alleys, especially after a big rain storm or flood, looking for anything thrown out useful that we could salvage, re purpose or even sell. Your auction videos very much reminded me of some of the "junk" we would see stacked up in and around the stationary concrete garbage bins back behind each house or apartment back in those days, for the city garbagemen crews to discard into the back of the garbage truck. We of course would beat them to it when we could. It's a wonder we kids never got tetanus or anything worse.
Sounds like we did on a smaller scale. We often walked six or eight blocks to grade school through the city alleys. My brother found a big artillery shell probably from the first world war. Empty of course.
$1 for that Hegner saw??? That's CRAZY. That would make a great starter machine for Henry!! I liked the JD Wallace bandsaw(16")... My first machine restoration was a Wallace bandsaw that i bought in 1981, on the day that I graduated from College (shop teacher). I was dressed in a silver suit and had the men in the machine shop load it into the back of my Datsun pickup so i wouldn't get dirty.
Mr Pete . youve attended more absolutely last auctions than Status Quo Final Tours or Brentford Nylon closing down sales ! Despite which they sill make compulsive watching for me and thousands of other of my fellow compatriots . Thanks Mr Pete
Hey I have a set of those books 1-8 and the workbook. They were used in a training course at Allison Transmission, way back when. They were a gift from my wife's grandmother and were used in the class by her husband. I have read them all and used the information during my career as an engineer. Enjoy your videos.
Wow, what prices! It's kind of depressing seeing how little my fine collection of similar junk will bring. I guess maybe I won't be in a position to care, lol. Thanks for bringing us along on a fun adventure! It looks like a really nice house and grounds, and I enjoyed hearing about the history.
The little drill press caught my eye the first time you passed by it (before the auction began) and I like the really old floor model drill press too! I am a sucker for a tool bargain as well. I could hardly believe the prices that some of the wood working tools were selling for. OT: when you were showing the Hagener paperwork, I spotted a gyroscope on the bench behind the box of goodies. When I was about 5 years old we went to the state fair in Springfield and my parents bought me one just like that one! I don't know what happened to it but I had it for many years.
My dad bought me a gyroscope when I was a child. This is not the same one, but I’ve been fascinated ever since. For a while, I owned the Sperry gyroscope from an airplane, it might be in a very old video of mine.
Lyle - Great video - like you I love auctions. Some you make out great at, some you don't. As to Crabby - my wife of 54 years has been calling me that for a lot longer than we've been married. But then she's known me since 9th grade. Real score on the scroll saw - but I have a nice old Walker Turner that fits my needs. The sensitive drill press - well, if I had been there you would have had some competition. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I probably would have been tempted by even more items than Mr. Pete. Fortunately for my wallet I only go to auctions via RU-vid. My resistance to buying junk I don’t need is inversely proportional to my proximity to flea markets and tag sales.
I love the auction videos, you got great deals today, those old drill press machines look great on video just ask Jimmy Diresta. The scroll saw was also the buy of the year, you should do a video of you replacing the bellows.
Ha Ha no checks? Well done! I am getting some machinist tools together for two kids in the neighborhood. You just have to be at the correct auction. Good luck sir.
I'd have bought the Hegner, they're very expensive brand new. It sounded like you got it for $1 !! Amazing bargain. The machine shop operations book looks great, I hope you make a project from it.
HAHAHAAH 00:06:32 Someone hollering Your name .... Looked like a Great day for An outside Auction. Looked like a Shop that has been around a very long time.. MUCH Thanks lyle.. Mike M.
The 1 X 42 sander you bought for the motor is just like the one I got at Harbor Freight about 20 years ago. Mine is still going on the original Chinese motor. It's not a quality machine but it has ground a heck of lot of steel.
Yes I was with you at 31:10 when you asked if anybody was still with you. As for me, I would have bid on that Hegner saw. I have a scroll saw so don't really need another, but I would have at that low price. I was shocked at some of the low prices on the woodworking equipment.
I would have definitely bought the small drill press because it looks cool. I would clean it up and use it from time to time. It looks larger than my Dumore sensitive drill press so it would be a good medium size drill. Auctions are addictive aren’t they. The wife gave up questioning my purchases. I resell most of what I buy but I add some to my collection for little to no cost. Some of my best and profitable buys are contents of shelving or cabinets. I have had some gems like what you found in the locked cabinet. Very exciting.
I have one very much like that one waiting for restoration. I got it at the local "recycling center" because someone was smart enough to NOT toss it into the metal recycling dumpster! They left it on the ground in front of it and I pounced upon it like a cat chasing a mouse! LOL
Yeah, it's all about the hunt, and probably an addiction :D My dad used to take us to flea markets and such on the weekends growing up (and auctions sometimes). Basically the same thing + haggling (which is fun if both parties are open minded). Rummaging through thingamabobs and doohickeys trying to figure out what is what, and sometimes finding a gem, is good fun! (And cheap most of the time, unless you find something special that you just have to have, then it can get expensive...)
First Pete we don't care if a few people don't like you. We all (99.9998%) love you for your personality and content. That's all that matters! Keep going and you will probably out live most of us! Have a great day and take care!
It is all about the hunt. You just never know what treasure you'll find. I think it's great that you keep searching and taking us along just spreads the wealth of the adventure. I enjoy your videos and the information that you pass on. Keep it up
I love your auction videos, because while we have auctions in our area, they are all on-line, and frequently have open bidding for over a week. Many item sell for close to retail. If something sells really cheap, there is usually a reason why. I got my big Rockwell Delta sander that way- it needed a lot of work!
Frankie Lane. Neat! I know the Marty Robbi s version! Crazy auction. So many things so cheap. I couldn't give a rip less that some folks and you think you're crabby. I'm getting there and I'm your junior by 20. Good auction video! Looking forward to your content!
I can't say that I've ever read "The Cabinet" but definitely know of it. I do have a set of the machinery handbooks (from a toolmaker uncle) in similar binding plus another set from around 1916.
I would have bought all 3 of those things. The sensitive drill press is a keeper. I really like the styling on the old 19th/early century 20th machine tools. I bet a lot of people would love to have some of the stuff you call junk.
Can't believe how cheap some of that stuff was going for. I've been to a few auctions and have that same, "can't leave it behind for that price," mentality.
I had a sander like that, but mine had a 6 inch disc on the motor arbor and an adjustable tilting table. I believe it was a Sears/Craftsman. Thanks for taking us alone, Mr Pete!
A old time utuber has the luxury auctions. USA through & through. Teaching the subject can be an area of great fun. I think Australia's black book has it over most others with durability in the workshop. Although the Machinery Handbooks detail is nice in my library.
Hey Tubal glad to see you enjoying the auctions I do a lot of online options buying that is I haven't seen anything that you bought that you overpaid for so far when you pay a dollar to 5 dollars for something it's pretty much a steal at today's rate yeah it's all you need to do is get one of them wheels it's got to be word of dollar and then there's other stuff on your metal is good to keep for different things course at our age we don't need it but as long as there's fire in the furnace might as well keep it burning I enjoy your videos I will keep watching Eagle voice typing
You have a right to be cranky at 80 years old. You've earned it! I love auctions, but they aren't as good out here on the west coast. The prices are not nearly as good. I'm 73, and like you, I really don't need any more tools, but I WANT more tools! 😄. Buying tools keeps you young, (well at least in my mind). Keep putting out the videos, us old geezers love em! . . . Chuck🤪
Hi from Cambridge in the UK It just shows as years go by less and less people are interested in machinery and working with their hand, thus prices keep going down year to year. When the time comes to clear your estate you family will get a lot less than you think its worth now. hopefully this will be many years in the future.
Prices on most of it seemed reasonable to cheap. I remember being excited when I bought my Rockwell only to learn that the tires were shot and it cost me a C note to get replacements and only one guy selling them because he is a fan of the machine. The new ones don't have tires and I think they could be made using a 3D printer.
I love the auction videos. I stopped going to auctions because I buy too much crap. I am a sucker for a box of junk for a dollar. Thank you very much, Ed Hicks in Southwest Mo.
I have that exact same drill press. I bought it at an estate auction. I have never used it. I just bought it because it looked kinda cool. I will be looking forward to you posting a video on the drill press. You got osme good buys at that auction. That Hegner scroll saw was an excellent buy. I like doing scrol owrk because tome, it is relaxing. All I have though is a cheap Sears scroll saw,
@@mrpete222 The previous pwner has the motor wired so that you can flip a switch and change the speed. He used a regular house switch and there are only 2 speeds. I have never figured out how it works.
I am a retired machine shop owner in western PA. I go to auctions also and look for the old drill presses that are strange and restore them. You do a great job. Keep up the work.
