Today was the unofficial opening of the Jacktown Blue Mountain Spring 2023 Flea Market. The weather was cool to start, but slowly warmed up. There weren't many set up, but it does pay, at least for me, to do some early picking. The view on the drive over there was spectacular. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2023/pcrl05192023a.jpg Some of the set ups. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2023/jacktownspring05192023d1f1.jpg Some clouds and some sun. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2023/jacktownspring05192023d1f2.jpg On the hunt.... http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2023/jacktownspring05192023d1f3.jpg Pickings were slow, but steady. I got a broad axe, the handle is shot, an unusual cast iron base with a steel concave face, purpose unknown, a 3 lb plus Stanley cross peen hammer, a big hand forged square face sledge hammer, a Stanley SW claw hammer in fairly good shape, a hand forged outside caliper, a blacksmith bolt header, a gasket circle cutter for a brace, a 6" Starrett rule in 100ths, a Starrett tool makers square, a 4" Starrett combination square, and 3 small Starrett rules. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2023/jacktownspring05192023d1t1.jpg The "catch of the day" is this Goodell-Pratt drill press, that looks to be in reasonably good shape, the head and depth screw all work. The rest we shall see. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2023/jacktownspring05192023d1t2.jpg The weather forecast for tomorrow has improved so I'll be back and hopefully with more goodies..

The catch of the day looks good. I have to say that I would have hated to carry that all back to the car though!

Well after Kutztown and feeling THAT for more than a couple of days, I decided that it was better to make multiple trips to the beast, rather than beat myself up. Fortunately, with people still coming in to set up, I was able to drive in and pick up the drill, seeing as how it weighs 27 lbs or so (I did put it on the scale).
