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.

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.

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.

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.
