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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
At 10:06 is part of a dado blade set. At 20:13 is a tenon auger for cutting tenons on the end of wooden wheel spokes. At 20:15 is a spoke cone used to taper the end of a wooden spoke so you can cut the tenon with the tenon auger. (See ruclips.net/video/VvaXKoUyuwM/видео.html) At 20:18 the pistol grip tool is for cutting leather straps.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Seeing that keen kutter sausage machine caught my eye. I used to travel to Wichita KS frequently and I would always stay at the Old Town hotel. It is a very nice restored building that was originally a keen kutter factory or maybe THE keen kutter factory. There were display cases of original keen kutter products in the lobby and throughout the hotel there were pictures of various 19th and very early 20th century scenes of life in the midwest. What would those magnetos be from? Tractors? Early automobiles? I’m sure some collector or restorer will jump on them. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
“Burning a hole in your pocket”….l knew it, you’ll be going to auctions when you’re 95! You’re just like me, if my auction newspaper says machinist tools or woodworking tools, I am there! I plan my doctor’s appointments, dinner outings, meetings, and personal shopping around auctions. I live for auctions! I even have planned church service around auctions! Do you think I might be going to hell for that?
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.
😀👍
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.
Hand raised! Love that little Wilton
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.
The baby Wilton is an amazing score. There is always more money than sense at auctions. Thanks for the videos.
Auctions are good for more youtubes! Keep going, keep buying, keep showing, and WE keep watching👌👌

Thank you for an interesting comment. It’s good to hear from other Shop teachers.
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!
You always sound so exited! what ever keeps you happy !!!!
😄
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!
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.
Definitely need to restore those vises and Dumore drill press.
Morning Lyle.
Hoarder Happiness!
Wow Mr. Pete! That was a great haul! So many cool items! Color me green with envy!

Keep the auction auction coming, wow a baby bullet, whaat a treat!! :-D love the dumore, I have the same vintage one
👍👍
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!
More Tools? Why thats wonderful.Mr. Pete!
This video just made my day! Love these
So glad!
Mr. Pete! The hobby transformer is the power supply for the morse code keys! It is all together for a reason!
Love how you were so excited over your baby Wilton!
😄😄

hello David
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.
Thank you. I love going to these type sales. We have a few here in Easter PA. Jacktown, and Kinzers.
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.
Nice haul. Enjoyed watching this last of the last auction goodies.😂
I just love old tools what stories they could tell there is so much quality in the old stuff
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.
👍
4:10 Figured out mystery tool candidate, won't spoil it here. Will send you an email...nice haul and the Wilton to boot...
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.
Really nice thank you🇺🇸🏴☠️😎

The tool at 6:37 is a high low gauge, we use it in plate and pipe welding to insure the ID alignment is in spec.
Thank you Mr Pete!
Got a Unimat on the way from eBay……a way too late nite “best offer” purchase 🙄
Nice 👍
So happy Mr. Pete that your vice's are giting smaller 😇
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.
Thank you Mr Pete always enjoy watching your videos watching from South Africa
👍
Enjoy the auction videos thanks for sharing Mr Pete
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

Hello Mr pete, I love watching your tool auctions, keep making these video's, cheers from me. 😃👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing Mr. Pete I love this kind of videos.
Glad you enjoyed it
WOW, Loads of Great plunder at that sale.
Thanks Lyle...

The big thin curved spanner is for adjusting old door closers with a spring . Use one at the school alot .

Those versa vises are great! That one is worth $200 or so with the knuckle.
Man I wish they had auctions like that around here... you find such good stuff!
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!!

Yes that baby Wilton is crazy nice!
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.
I have that same Bluepoint hacksaw. They are sold on Snap-on tool trucks. Mine is 25+ years old and still works like new.
Look forward to more videos and restoration on the parts you got today especially the baby wilton.
My girl bought me a baby bullet on a power arm , and it’s one of my favorite tools in the shop. Nice score!
😄
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
Great score on the pin vices and hole punches.
Mr. Pete, The Baby Wilton is a rare find. Can't wait for the Resto. With the mount, Big Bucks. Best, Fred
😄😄
Mr Pete you have A pipefitters mismatch gauge . Used in asme pressure vessel mfg at time 6:44
6:38
Cracking little drill press.. I wonder how long the farm ran for.
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.
👍👍
That sander looks like it could be adapted to being a crankshaft polisher pretty easy.
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.
Just love it…never say “uncle “
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.
admiring the pair of bottle jacks 28:49
That blue colored transformer is to power model train sets.
Hi,I like the action site, too.Get to see all the things this poor fellow worked on.
Love it!
That may have been one of the cleanest and best condition Erector set boxes I have ever seen.
Yes, like it has never been used
I love the magnetos!
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 .
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.
Possibly TWO new videos of Mr. Pete painting something???? Be still my beating heart! Thanks for the video.
lol
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.
The day you stop going to auctions is the day we will miss you.
😄
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.
