What did you buy today?

[Laurentius]

An old adze for the princely of £7. I don't think I shall be trying this one out whilst wearing sandals, it's not a tool for the feint hearted.

[Mesquite]

Mine and my mates tickets to the moot

[zed4130]

Although i have 2 old kukris i decided to pick one of these up out of interest,Mil-tec kukri, ive also got max brooks book zombie survival guid from this forum, i look forward to reading that, you never know lol,

[Biker]

Had a really nice haul today. A sweet Goldenberg hatchet, another unknown axe head which has a socket in it to take the haft. Several small screwdrivers (watchmakers types.) A 20mm gouge, an 18inch drawknife and a Froe (paid top dollar for that though). All of whch are covered in surface rust but will be restored and brought back to full working order again.

I also nabbed 2 dutch ovens, an 8.5 litre one and a 4 litre Aluminium one, plus a caste iron skillet. These will also get cleaned and seasoned.

Figured if I do make it to The Moot I could bring them all along to sell on (and save myself from those bandits at the post office fleecing me for P&P.) I hear there's a sales day or something like that. Hope I'm not taking a liberty saying this or expecting it.

The gem of the bargains I picked up today was a 2 man dome tent. Works on a system like an umbrella and has a central hub and fold out legs along with a fly sheet and a nice window at the back opposite side to the door. Got that for the princely sum of €3 about £2.40.

Managed to carry this all back strapped to various tie points on my motorbike. I knew I should have taken the car. But the hot sunshine and almost no wind begged for a ride out.

I just LOVE bootfairs!

Nice haul Aaron, I'm jealous.

But we struck gold at a charity shop yesterday, a Willcox & Gibbs industrial three-thread overlocker complete in a decent purpose-built plywood cabinet with motor and clutch, fifteen quid.

SWMBO is ecstatic.

That is indeed a bargain. I recently got myself a sewing macine and had some lessons from my Mother so looking forward to having a play on that and seeing what I can make.

Just been through the bags and such that I brought home with me. I found some other bits and pieces I didn't meniton. I also got 2 small carving chisels, a really big and old wallet with a sort of painted embossed image on it. Looks like a traditional countryside French. I also got a canvas should bag with big flap covering sveral poclets, it's rather like a messenger bag, it's also trimmed in leather like Luckylee did recently on the pimped rucksack.

I also found a seller of UK sweets and bought 100g of licorice torpedoes and some peanut flavoured sweets which I am addicted to. Nabbed 200g pf those.

Like i said I love bootfairs

Sounds like a bargain there. Danners were the best boots I ever used.

[Stringmaker]

I just saw this and had to have it:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Model-Knife-...0206901&sr=8-5

It looks like balsa wood so will maybe do as a butter knife or something, but I plan to try and make something similar from hardwood and then oil/varnish it.

Not connected, I also bought some cheapie woodworking rasps:

These arrived this morning. Unopened and unissued. When my bag arrives I'll see if they fit OK. Cracking price for new ones though. :thumbup:
