>So I'm at the dump friday and the former assitant to the dumpmiester pulls in and says I'm glad I cauhgt you. I'm cleaning out a garage and there's all kinds of tools thier gett'n rid of.

Long story, short. I pulled out with a truck load.

Here's most of the highlights. Bill that's a Stanley #358 Mitre Box in the back left, and a 60 1/2 on the Carving Chisels.
