Thread: TTTG Tool sale at Thornleigh Sydney 2018

Bloody hell. That's a 100% increase on last years entry fee. I'll probably still go.

I might wander up . . .

A forum cap to disguise my ugly mug

So, did anybody go & what did you get? Unfortunately now that I'm no longer living in Sydney, I didn't get to go this year.

Couldn't help myself, made the trip south. Picked up a No 5 and a No 6 Record planes in really good condition. These will both be users. The 'cheap' voice in my head was telling me to buy the 5 and 6 from the Stanleys and Records that weren't in anywhere near as good condition for a few dollars less. But then I thought of the old garage sale chisels sitting in my shed for 3 or 4 or more years forlornly waiting for rehab. The 'common sense' voice won and I bought the better Records which won't require much fettling. And I still even managed to keep within my budget.

This was my first time to the TTTG sale so I am unable to compare to previous years.

I went, I brought, I enjoyed!

Starrett combination square, with the attachments, some picks, milwaukee hole saws, Diamond sharpening stones and sundry small stuff.

Was it worth it, 3 hour drive, entry etc, the answer is yes.

Completely missed it... ah crap!

To be honest, I couldn't be bothered. It was cold and rainy and it was warm inside, in front of the computer. Maybe next year.

Thanks to all who bought the used books in support of Lifeline.
even Pat.
