    This was grand! I knew you had a good reason to take them to the new shed and not to the transfer station. It would be great to get an update on what was sold from the auction where you found the starbust clock.

    The tool with 2fingers and oblong slot is for removing and doing up caps and bungs on 44 gallon drums.

    Thanks for the ‘push.’ I have my father in law’s old toolbox and it’s a lot like this one-except it has a lot more tools in it. It belonged to his dad. Has everything this one did plus. Also have a picture, and the plans and records from the house he build before my father in law was born. ( in 1903). Now I’m planning a video and inventory of the box.

      I was wondering a similar thing. Do you worry about damaging the piece, or do you just hit everything with a wire wheel and see what happens? I've always been intimidated to try it, so a quick demo might be fun to see.

    The bottle opener tool, reminds me of a lathe fly wheel locking tool, where the hole part goes over the drive and the two prongs fit the two holes either side. Also, it could be the tool that unlocks the shearing grinder wheel for cutters and combs.

    • @TheUltimateRecycler
      @TheUltimateRecycler  2 года назад +1

      Yes Bruce, it certainly looks like that sort of tool. Too big for an angle grinder - so something larger maybe, where you are required to open a beer while operating!! 🤣🤣

    Interesting to be able to go through those things with you. Just a note regarding that Zerem wrench with the swivel ends - I have two I bought at a local feed store here in the states for about $5 each. Handy, but not very sturdy.

    • @TheUltimateRecycler

    Hi there, that rasp in box #2 is probably worth a bit more than $1.00. It is a specialty rasp which screws on to a holder. I have an old holder for a similar one sided rasp which allows you to file on curved surfaces. It has a turnbuckle arrangement for changing the arc of the curve. I have seen the holders for these two sided rasps, I just can't remember right now where or when.

    • @TheUltimateRecycler
      @TheUltimateRecycler  2 года назад

      Yep, almost certainly worth more than $1 Steve - particularly as they are quite expensive to buy new! Quite often good things slip through into the $1 box, but I don't mind that as it's very good for my business to have customers find "treasures" in the discount boxes - it keeps them coming back and they tell their friends! 😃👍

    Makes me wish I had a shop! It would be interesting if you had a follow up video of how you get on with a shipment, or perhaps a long-term video which is released in 6 months - 1 year, showing the journey of a box from auction to sale.

    From a viewer's perspective: if you produce three individual, shorter videos as opposed to one longer video, the shorter videos would each have a brief introduction and conclusion. So in terms of time (and no one seems to have much time theses days) and therefore content the longer videos may actually be more preferable? 😉
