tubalcain Succumbs to Auction Fever Again- TOOL HOARDER ??

[@Abom79]

Hey Mr. Pete! You have a few nice gems down in those bins. I especially liked that big rule holder you got. I've never seen one like that before. The Starrett rule holder is still being made and I bought one of them a couple years back. It's pretty handy on the boring mill to help measure the heights of jobs, or to even use for setting a surface gage or height gage too. Just having my morning coffee here in Spanish Fort and thought I'd drop by and say hello. 👍🏻

[@luckybookairvids]

love all the support yall give to the skilled-trade and education community here, keep on keepin on... MY #youtubeheroes

[@kathylong7695]

Mr Pete these would look like my tool box 35 yrs n running love your videos

[@mrpete222]

Thanks Adam. Yes, a few good scores. I always wanted a rule holder. Its a nice one--almost too nice for home made, but no trademark on it. I hope you make a vid of the fort--I love your travel videos. Take care.

[@Hardturnin]

Hi Adam, it is nice to be reminded of that fort. It has been many years since I visited. Thanks for stirring up the fond memory the last one I saw was my favorite St. Augustine with its command of the sea.

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I am always so pleased to learn that you have gotten past the thought of "this is my last tool auction." I watch as you dig through the plunder with the hopes you will find some treasure. Great video, I know it is 5 years ago but I'll bet your heart still races when you look at this and see that Last Word indicator hidden in the blue plastic tube!!!

[@tarbeau8561]

Hey Mr. Tubalcain , I love it when you go to the auctions and show your viewers what you got . Sometimes I wish it was me going to the auctions . But , knowing me I would not sell anything and watch it build up . One of the enjoyments that I get , is watching you show us what you got that day . Good luck at the next one sir .

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@waldowilding1736]

Love it -you are so lucky you have machinist estate sales - we get mainly asian junk tool sales - you will never be cured of your addiction. Loved the looking through keep it up.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Mr Pete, loved it as usual. I would love to go through your "garbage" after an auction. lol. Stuff you were tossing aside would make me smile 😜. Keep it up!

"Whats in there? probably junk... OOOWOH!" I must have watched that bit 4 or 5 times... I like these "score boxes" but when something really cool pops up it is amazing. Love your work Mr Pete... (and I'd bet I'm not the only one that appreciates Mrs Pete being such a good sport with your 'affliction').

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@ellieprice3396]

Mr. Pete, at 9:02 you're picking up a pry bar known as a "die jack". Among other uses this tool is used to lift and separate the two halves of die sets used in the tool and die trade. Dedicated die jacks do not have nail puller slots which suggest these are also used as crow bars and nail pullers. Thanks for showing us another great bunch of tools you didn't need but couldn't resist buying.

[@mrpete222]

yes--could not remember its name

[@mjmcomputers]

I hope it's not the last. I love these videos. Great finds!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@garywalters4286]

I love all of your last tool auctions. Good vidio,please keep the good work.

[@j.loveenterprisesllc4802]

Mr. Pete I really like your channel, I have learned a lot from you. All of my tools come from the auction, I guess i am a auction junkie also , there is a auction house about 1 mile from my house, so I can't help myself. I have very little space for storage so after each sale i go through my buys pick out what i want then take whats left back to the auction, most of the time i get most or all of my money back, it works for me. Keep doing what you do!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@davidberndt6275]

Last auction... till the next one! Always enjoy. Thanks Mr. Pete!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@grntitan1]

You didn't waste money, you did what you enjoy. Nobody should try and disparage that. You shouldn't have to stop doing what you enjoy as long as you are able. I do not see how your hobby effects anyone negatively.

[@masteronone2079]

soaringtractor Hell that's my greatest ambition in life, to leave a really great estate auction. Someone else can have the same fun I've had discovering the little treasures I have all over again.

[@williamthrasher8540]

I like it, gives me the chance to learn about different tools used in the machine shop.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@Hardturnin]

Mr. Pete, looks like you had a whole lot of fun and found some great stuff. I am just like you in regard to the Starret name and brand. I love their catalog and always I remain in awe of true professional craftsmanship. Never met a cutting tool I did not like unless it was burdened beyond repair or the effort.

[@mrpete222]

yes-Thanks for watching

[@pjhalchemy]

Heck Mr. Pete, you can't hardly go out for a nice dinner with your Mrs. for less than $150 and your expression when you found the last word was worth that, imho...let alone the bucket full of other prized goodies. Great finds that make a bunch of us drool...and think "what I could do with that", Oh My! LOL on the Blasphemy. Thanks always for sharing your joy, passions and thoughts on life! ~PJ

[@mrpete222]

all very true-Thanks for watching

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@rogboak]

I haven't read all the comments so forgive me if I repeat a previous suggestion. Evapo Rust for your rust removal is my suggestion. I've used it on a big set of V-blocks and 4 jaw chuck (and many other tools) that came with some equipment I purchased that appeared to have been stored in a snow bank all winter. Works great, highly recommend it!

[@mrpete222]

yes-I use it-Thanks for watching

[@TinkeringJohn]

As a machine repairman at Buick, I worked on Gleason machines. The ones we had, cut bevel gears and we called them Revacycles. They were basically broaching machines with the teeth of the broach arranged in a large circle that rotated as it cut out the valleys of the teeth from the bevel gear blank. The broach wheel made 1 revolution per tooth, then a Geneva drive would index the blank for the next tooth. For each pass, after the last tooth of the broach made it's cut, a fly cutter on the broach wheel spun around and de-burred the edge of the gear. They spun around at least 20 times as the broach wheel made 1 revolution, so I was always changing worn bearings from them and they had to be timed just right to remove the correct amount of material. These Gleason machines were one of the most interesting machines to watch run at the factory.

[@mrpete222]

great explanation-Thanks for watching

[@markallen6049]

Hi Mr. Pete To remove rust use Electrolysis. Mix Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda in water (gallon of water to cup of soda). Contact a D cell battery Neg. to part and Pos. to a iron washer. hang part and washer in the water for 18 - 24 hours. Remove from water dry and oil.

Yeah, last auction. I'll believe that when Otis has his last drink on the Andy Griffith show. Thanks for sharing. I do enjoy the details and learning what all that stuff is.

[@sorryimajerk735]

Hey lyle just want you to know I have loved the videos you be made since I found them a few years ago. Shop was my fav class in high school and it's awesome that I get to freely absorb your wisdom that's so nicely presented. Thanks very much sir and have a nice day

[@MrShobar]

The sandblaster is potentially one of the most destructive devices around. If not performing the butchery you have shown, they are spreading minute amounts of abrasive dust around the shop area. Like radioactive contamination, once its on the loose, it's hard to clean up. It appears to be the favorite tool of the "slap-some-paint-on-it" types, who then call it a "complete restoration".

[@mrpete222]

I hate sandblasting--seen many tractors ruined by it

[@ggordon4127]

You can't imagine how that final aution video sadden me. Glad to hear you are back in the game! For guys like us, it is the guy who dies with the most tools who wins. Or it should be.Regards

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@elizabethvail7234]

I use white vinegar and non iodine salt in water, depending on the amount of tools being cleaned. 1 gallon of water, 2 cups of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of salt. It works great and place the tools to be cleaned in the solution for about an hour, depending on the rust. Check the tools by rubbing them with a a towel or 000 steel wool. I've left tools in the solution for many days without problems. Good luck.

[@mrpete222]

thanks

[@countrycraftsman5110]

Every once in a while you catch me off guard and make me spit out my ice tea. "Nipple clamp" thanks for the great infotainment i can't get enough.

Great finds there. Years ago my friend Okie Custer said ( only buy used things you can resell for a profit if need be. ) I have all ways tried to follow his advice. He is gone now, but he could fix anything. He had a sign on his garage for many years that said ( Garage sale from now til the end of the world. )

it won't be

[@alanpenney2370]

Tubal, I am a retired Tool & Die Maker (at Ford Motor Co) and I seem to recall that Ford used Gleason broaches on engine blocks. I don't know if Gleason made anything else. Also, talk to Kieth Rucker about the best way to clean off rust. He has a nifty product that seems to work like a champ.

[@williamburdon6993]

you have at least another 300 tool sales in you partner, it still brings you happiness , be glad for that!

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@gaylesooter2003]

Hi Mr. pete my hubby uses a product called de-oxy- does- it, to remove rust from steel. He soaks the rusted parts over night and all the rust is gone the next day. When the rust is gone the solution stops working and is reusable. Good luck with your new find.

Lyle, I liked the small chain wrench, it could be useful, also the set of combination spanners. You mentioned files for the handles. I buy worn out round files from swap meets here, just for the steel in them. I anneal them and have made cutting tools and some taps, as it is very good steel. Learnt how to heat treat metals, years ago, during my trade apprenticeship.

[@mrpete222]

They may be on ebay someday-Thanks for watching

[@paultopolski1978]

Some great finds Mr. Pete. I have been a machine sign collector for 30 years or more and I really like the Gleason sign. I don't know what kind of machine it was on, but I like it!

gear cutting machines

Craftsman hammers, punches and crowbars are made by Wilde Tool in Hiawatha, Kansas which is about 60 miles from where I live.

[@chrisleech1565]

I have been using Phosphoric Acid dilute solution 5 parts water to 1 part acid. Makes great results. If you can get to a marine supply store like West Marine, you may get this concoction called Osfo or Ospho and is the exact same thing. I have about 2.5 gallons left of a pail I bought some time ago. I always find a use for it. But it is hard to get straight non dilute. Happy de-rusting Lyle

You made a great buy. I go to a lot of auctions and tooling always goes for nothing. I'm like you in the respect i have a lot of tools from a family closed machine shop and going to auctions. Don't let people tool shame you. I'll buy more at the next auction and when i die my relatives can sell it for scrap. I won't give a hoot cause i'll be dead. Carry on dude.

Gleason is well known for gear cutting machines.

[@mrpete222]

thanks

[@JamesDedmon]

Yes Gleason makes a lot of gear hobbling and shapers, where I work we have a bunch of them. In fact my fist job in the shop was loading a Gleason bevel gear generator

[@paulhunt598]

Gleason is out of Rochester, NY. They were building gear machines back in the 1800's. I believe that they developed the offset automotive rear end system or the machines to cut those gears. Their logo features this gear design. They purchased Pfauter as part of their spur gear machinery development in the 1990's. About the same time they aquired the rights to the Okomoto designed and built gear grinder. Setting up the Gleason gear grinder required precision beyond our shop's previous experience. For this reason I became the first at our company to own a .00005" test indicator. I have only ever used that indicator on that machine and only after I needed to repair crash damage or Heidenhein scales.

[@jesusjcrrotary9271]

Maybe the doors on the cart were just camouflage to hide it under a work bench. Makes sense. Good buys in this batch.

LAST?? For some reason I doubt it! But I will say it is interesting what you can find at an estate auction. I bought a coal shuttle for a couple of dollars one time. It contained a bunch of nuts and bolts, 0-1" and 1"-2" micrometers and a set of telescoping gauges. Good luck on the next sale, Greg.

Its the thrill of discovery in auctions, especially random box tool auctions, I enjoy watching your auction find videos. That last word indicator is a premier find for sure - and those craftsman wrenches are some of the original ones that are stamped "forged in USA" - made me sick the first time I saw they had taken that off the new made in china ones, just more imported junk now but with the high craftsman price-lol. Craftsman aren't the best but far from the worst and I can still remember back in the 70's when I was finally able to afford my first set of Craftsman wrenches to replace my crappy department store junk. I had to mow grass and do odd jobs for most of a summer so I could start buying my first decent hand tools to work on my mowers and gokarts. And not a metric tool in sight back then unless you drove a Japanese import.

I once toured Gleason Works in Rochester, NY. "Today, Gleason Corporation operates within one business segment. The principal activity is the design, manufacture and sale of machinery and equipment for the production of bevel and cylindrical gears. The Company manufactures a complete line of machines and tooling for bevel gears. Bevel gears transmit power at an angle, such as from the drive shaft to the rear-axle of a vehicle. The Company also manufactures machines and tooling for producing cylindrical gears."

Use Wood Bleach (Oxalic Acid) from Sherwin Williams, to de-rust tools. I used it to de-rust some chrome wheels.

[@mrpete222]

I show that in several vids

[@Weldangrind]

I recommend the "reverse electrolysis" rust removal method. It requires some sodium carbonate (washing soda), a 5 gallon pail, a 12 volt battery charger, a sacrificial piece of steel and some warm water. Plenty of KZbin videos on it.

[@mrpete222]

Including 10 of mine
