Lyly, your voice is very soothing, not enough to put me to sleep, mind you but very easy to listen to! I really enjoy watching your videos, very educational and with no small amount of adventure...

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@almeyer405]

I must be a worse hoarder than you, because when you would say well that box can go in the garbage I'm doing "NO I want to look through that!" Seen lots of little goodies I would like to have.Love this type of video get to watch someone having what I consider "Fun"

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@adamf4196]

These tool haul videos can be tedious but I appreciate that you keep it moving. I usually get at least a few laughs as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@jay7605]

One's mans junk can be another man's treasure. My dad kept everything, I now enjoy finding stuff i need from his hoard. I now keep a "maybe" throw away bin, because i know as soon as I chuck it I will need it.!! Great watch. Thank you.

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@grntitan1]

PS: I like that you are sitting in front of the camera more and more. It gives a more personable feel to your videos. Really enjoy it.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@andrewabbot1380]

Mister Pete. As always with any video you do i am fascinated by and amazed at infinite knowledge of almost every thing you talk about.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

This is gold. Please buy more junk for us to all look at.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@Abom79]

Lot's of small hidden gems in the mix there! Looks like boxes and tables were from cleaning out cabinets and work benches full of years worth of clutter collections. Yep the cylindrical square was an awesome score!

[@mrpete222]

Yes, and old drawers

[@joeestes531]

Iam on my way through all 1200 videos! I love this kind of stuff! Great video mr pete

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@oxtoolco]

Hi Lyle, At 14:37 that bar in the leather case is a lap/hone for cleaning the edges of the Brown and Sharpe 530 toolmakers straight edges. It is a glass rectangle covered on three sides with leather. The stands you mentioned using for knobs are made by Carl Mahr or CEJ Johannson and are for comparative measurements with high resolution indicators. I saw the serrated anvil for one in your #1 auction video. Nice lot of goodies. Best, Tom

[@mrpete222]

Thanks Tom--I wondered what that was. Lots of items did not recognize

[@oldschool6345]

LOL that's a relief! ... unintended comedy at it's best. Thanks for the video's , you've become quite accomplished. Both in content and method. What how and why in very direct style, you have adapted yourself to this medium fantastically. I found you because of the Atlas/craftsman lathe videos. Enjoyed many of your subjects even though I might have never known of them previously.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Some great finds there Lyle .. Thumbs up !!

Nice haul there mr Pete! Videos are getting better and better ! This one was brilliant!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@uis194afm2]

hi after listening for a year or more and then seeing your face it was reassuring that you are and have the features of my uncles, you are also the same in attitude about waste and the modern throw away age . thanks for your enthusiasm i watch with great interest . i own a boxford lathe and mini mill where the heart lies but have been usurped by the modern computing industry . fighting to regress.

[@mrpete222]

All so true-Thanks for watching

[@kevinwillis9126]

looking forward to part 3.... Thanks for sharing sir...

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@chicagoted]

"Oh that's a relief... no pun intended." You're a funny man, sir! Most (unintentionally) hilarious enema joke I've heard on KZbin today.

[@TreeTop1947]

Just luckily, I was in between sips of coffee because I really did LOL! Treetop

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@chicagoted]

Thanks for making the videos - I've learned a tremendous amount and working on improving my machine shop skills from you. Keep up the great work!

[@gtsdesigns]

i like this video series as i do all of your videos (appreciate them all)... wish they had auctions like this in southern Ca... i will be looking to find some, if there are...

[@MrGoosePit]

I'm having a lot of fun going thru all those boxes with you!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@lumberjackengineering2649]

It's neat to get to see you talk to the camera at the beginning and end of the videos. Lots of interesting stuff here - keep up the good work!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@HellSpawn722001]

love the video, I love looking through boxes of stuff. my favorite thing to do is go to the flea market and spend hours of looking for treasures in boxes of junk.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@TomlinsTE]

Mr. Pete, In case you don't know, some of us watch these videos all the way through so we can learn the proper name and function of some of the junk we have laying around in boxes in our own garages. Also it's helpful for when we might go to garage sales or something to understand what some of the stuff is. I went to a garage sale one time that had thousands of tools, i'm pretty sure the man of the house passed away and the wife had no idea what any of the tools were. I wish I knew what was what because there were surely great deals to be had on almost everything. In retrospect I probably should have just made an offer on the entire lot and sorted it out later.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. Really great garage sales are few and far between

[@johnstrange6799]

Thanks for sharing the bevy of newly acquired odds and gems.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@TreeTop1947]

Mr. Pete, please promise us that you will never go to another tool auction without taking us along. This has been so much fun! Treetop

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@T3hJones]

Glad to see you got an inside caliper you have so few of them :).

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@tuffymartinez]

What a joy you are to watch...thank you Lyle....tm

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@nowayjerk8064]

thanks for sharing :)glad you got the sterling running.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@SwitchAndLever]

Wow! A lot of really good stuff there. Even a lot of the things you're going to throw I'd happily take off your hands if I was nearby. Would love to build something from that Meter Matic box! Thanks for the continuation video, great fun and very educational to hear you go through all of that material! Glad to see you on camera as well, as opposed to just your hands!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@DavidBaumgarner]

Same here. like that optical flat at 10:00 ... and some of those huge indicator holders. certainly could make something from them!

[@escalosobre]

Very interesting. Thanks for letting me window shop 😊

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@kerrywil1]

Thanks for letting us watch you unpack your haul. I am sure some will be on Ebay.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@RelentlessHomesteading]

Some nice parts bin additions -- when I start a new project my first trip is to the parts bin to see what can be repurposed. Loved the comment below about "where you garbage bin is located" - even that stuff would be good in a parts bin.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@daleburrell6273]

...the sad thing is that you can't save EVERYTHING!! A favorite saying of mine is: "There's no such thing as having TOO MUCH STUFF- it's just a question of having TOO LITTLE SPACE-!!!"

[@RyanWeishalla]

Some nice finds in the boxes so far.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@carver3419]

That was fun ..... I look forward yo Part 3.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@bigbob1699]

AS A RETIRED TOOL MAKER / MACHINEST I KNOW A TOOL JUNKIE WHEN I SEE ONE.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@wildonpriddy1800]

Most tradesmen are tool junkies and horders

[@RalfyCustoms]

Lyle, I never tire of watching you sift through this type of thing. I'm always surprised by the way you through tools around, it's almost as if you dislike them Anyway, I for one am sorrow you have stopped buying, and would love an hour or two to fill a truck from your collection 👍💖

[@marks5603]

That "no good" flat check glass with the lapping stuff might be an optical flatness tester. A real find if your lapping precision gage tooling. It's funny to see what you find treasure I'd consider common and vice-versa. Enjoy your videos, keep it up.

[@graysondavis8252]

Mr. Pete, at 19:40, you are looking at some tubes with knobs and fittings. Those go with your AO microscope and the gray metallic base to hold your scope on a swing arm stand.

[@grntitan1]

I'm cleaning up my drool. I am a hoarder too. Nice score mrpete.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@edtompkins865]

HA glass has many uses. In photography, they are used in enlargers to absorb the heat before it gets to the film. And the glass flat is for testing fatness of things like surface plates. Very useful!

[@mikenixon9164]

A lot more good junk, I realy enjoy going through stuff like this.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@ronwrob2819]

tell us where your garbage bin is located when you toss the scrap

[@FredMiller]

LOL!

[@arjanwilbie2511]

Or even get it to Keith Fenner for runner up prizes in the WIYB give away.

[@RichardEHunt]

You have thrown out more clock repair equipment than most one man shops own!!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@charlestlatlatla2486]

I believe you had an optical flat mixed in there. Very expensive in that size if it is.

[@jaywon555]

Good haul there Mr Pete, some diamonds in the rough.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@steved8038]

thank you I enjoyed that ,nice to have some boxes to nose through at someone elses expense

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

I want to dive your dumpster. A lot of cool stuff I couldn't part with. Enjoyed!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@poplarhouse]

Heat absorbing glass is used in projectors and enlargers to soak up some of the heat from the bulb before it gets to the film- being made obsolete by LED bulbs. It's usually greenish in color. I used to use it a lot in the days of non-electronic film, especially when printing color negatives. The paper was slow and required halogen bulbs in the enlarger head coupled with long exposures (a minute or so sometimes).

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@davelowe1977]

I can see a use for those steel samples. I work in chemical engineering and often design pipework to carry oddball substances that don't appear in tables of chemical resistance. They would be useful to check material compatibility.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@Highstranger951]

That's a relief! Haha made my day!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@larryohara6513]

Fantastic stuff(junk to others...history to some!)

[@glennschemitsch8341]

you have almost all the parts for that bosch and lomb stereo microscope stand, the gray round base, upright for holding the microscope head to move up and down, swivel sideways. Put the pieces together, and you will love it. At the start, there was a very rusted tall indicator base with a fine adjusting knob. if you have the indicator attachment, good , but if not make one.

[@johnjohn-ed9qt]

Excellent tour of the 'junk'. The subtle humor leaves me laughing through many of your videos, this one more than many. I still teach engineering, so I collect the same type of 'junk' for use with students. Unfortunately, in my area, prices are up, up, up, and any auction is well attended. For example, used and beaten generic 1" mic, with scored and rusty anvil and spindle goes for $50 or more. Then again, I picked up a new is goo brown and sharpe #8 1" micrometer in factory case at a yard sale for $5 the other week by showing up 15min early and not being a jerk, so only a couple of the flea market and antique vultures were there.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@garyronan5568]

john john That's all I have is used and beaten machine tool's. Apparently I'm rich!!

[@williamleinonen4888]

Nice to see you in these videos.

[@wayneshanks148]

Love your videos Mr pete

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@garyronan5568]

An old steam engineer told me many decades ago that if you throw something out you'll need it next week!

[@daleburrell6273]

...I can believe that-!!

[@spyroskopitsas6088]

Thanks again Mr. Pete

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@petercunningham4000]

Most of that stuff will come in handy, even if you never use it!

[@jmegown52302]

That was a relief! 😂🤣😂

[@kaceesavage]

Neat stuff! My grandpa used to work at Fischer scientific. He didn't make rectal thermometers though. 😄

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@jamesfoster7158]

The tubes you show after the rotary at the 19:00 mark look like the mounting arms for the boom microscopes we use at my workplace.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

would love to have the 1926 engineering book,great find

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@347chas]

yes, he said 1946, would have loved to see inside.....

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed viewing the plunder

[@mrpete222]

THANKS

[@repalmore]

I'm learning to throw stuff out but I still really enjoy looking.

[@mrpete222]

me too

[@grizzlydan8]

Please don't apologize for part 3. Apologize if you don't have part4

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@scopeboy66]

The large tubes with knobs on them are for boom microscopes. I was a scope repair technician for years

[@billfleming1409]

If you had enough of those steel balls, you could make a dandy roller mill!

[@garyc5483]

Keep the series going. It's great. Looks like you need to have a garage sale mrpete. Most of the stuff you considered junk some would love to have. The 2 CJ Johansson pear shaped base stands are great for people to make height gauges from. I just sold a complete one on Ebay for good money it was snapped up in a day. Probably because you have so much stuff your perception of junk is different to people starting out in the trade. :-). regards from the UK

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@jjs4x]

What a great score!! I love the end of the auctions when the boxes full of stuff go for nothing! Can't wait till part 3!!!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@daleburrell6273]

20:08...the parts in that box look like they belong with the round gray cast iron base you showed earlier. They make up a boom stand for a Stereozoom microscope.

[@josephribinsky4471]

great haul of stuff. I would bet that the box of brass collets in the manila envelopes are for the go/no go gauges.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@jamesburns0657]

Love this type of video!!!

Thanks for watching

I would truly love and Cherish that tiny steel ruler and the small bench vise, ♻

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@tobarapprentice6618]

It is funny..... I'm 43 and all the stuff you say is junk is stuff I'd like. You can keep all the carborundum you want. We are in very different places Mr. Pete. Great video though..... as always.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@TenB33rs]

Some of those watchmakers tools you called useless could be some of the most valuable items you got. I have no idea what they are but i do know watchmakers tools are ridiculously expensive and well made.

[@JohnDoe-ot7wv]

Thanks to you for your invaluable contributions here on KZbin! Why not offering all those things, you do not need anymore for free to your potential and interested neighbors? A viewer living next to Scandinavia, far away from the U.S..

Enjoy all the videos. Including the road trips. Question: What is the difference between a rectal and an oral thermometer. Answer: the taste.

Those are steel reference standards to validate wet chemical analysis techniques - can be used for ICP (inductive coupled Plasma) chemical analysis check or LECO check standards for carbon/sulfur check

[@eddiekawecki2510]

Very interesting. Thank you for letting us see the man behind the voice. It puts a much better perspective view on your videos. One man's trash... surprised you don't do some trades with what you consider trash or sell unwanted items individually or as a lot on EBay or CL to offset the cost or your treasure hunts. Bet your grandson would be happy to help sell and build up his - as I call it- Ice Cream Money. Thank you. Keep them coming.

[@mrpete222]

good idea-Thanks for watching

[@jdeking2]

The sealing wax and clay are used by watchmakers and engravers to hold the work in place. My dad was a jeweler and watchmaker. The big heavy round thing in the box looks like a jewel staking block for installing the watch jewels.

[@mrpete222]

Good to know

[@charlescompton4495]

Good collection of...well various and sundry...you know! But, even though it is not for sale, my birthday is in January and I live only the second state East from you. Just kidding. I don't go to auctions but do go to the flea market on Thursdays. Thanks sir for another interesting (to me anyway) video, Greg.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@alaamohsin2204]

Such materials and tools are found here in my country at a temporary market called ( Friday Market ). Its open only on Friday. Sometimes I find precious tools just like you......

That glass flat plate looked like a flatness tester; laid on a surface interference fringing will be seen at the bottom surface. Good for testing to half a wavelength of light if I recall rightly.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@darrylmay4510]

That inspection glass check for flat may be the one used with monochromatic light. An expensive piece of gear. Check with Oxtools for more info.

Those pin gage holders around 3:30 in are actually pretty pricey on ebay! I need to purchase a few of them and haven't found any under $20 each. FYI! Some nice finds at that auction!

Holy cow!! You have a ton of them at 7:42! I couldn't be more jealous!
