Steam Fair Booty

[Richard T]

We went to Astwood Bank vintage vehicles show today and I didn't know what to expect in the way of tooly stalls but there were a good few. I saw a lot of stuff that I just never see at bootsales.

A 2" eye auger by Ridgway Sheffield - never been used



.. with the grinder I've wanted for years.

A lot of old fashioned augers that I am always happy to find singly and occasionally but never all together in the same box.

Centre bits including a tiny one, so small that I did not notice it wasn't on its best side when I took the picture. And none of them sharpened to a smaller width for a change.



A couple of gauge bits, and three nose bits - all with their 'noses' intact.



I've never seen the like at a bootsale and it was cheap too. Cost more to get in though ... :|

Good haul there pal. I'm always in the market for brace bits.

Sorry we missed you Andy - we were looking and went round twice at least. And according to Charles .... John had threatned too....

I still can't get over the 2" auger for £3.
