I need to add an update to this too. I've got a bunch of Craftsman woodworking tools that I picked up from the 50s and, I need to get the pics posted here

If we've done business together, please leave me feedback. Thank You!:

This envelope came in one of my Craftsman toolboxes and has the drawer partitions and hardware in it. I wanted to use them but I didn't want to open the envelope. I'd guess them to be from the 70's or 80's but I don't really know.

I'm sure earlier in this thread I described the two tool buyouts I had over the last few years. A third buyout would be nice, but what's even better than that is free tools and equipment, and that's exactly what happened. A good friend of mine (the one who wants to buy my house) brought me to his uncle's house one Friday night. He had been bugging me about going there to take some free stuff out of there because his uncle was moving out. I kept telling him I didn't want any more junk, I just got rid of a ton of crap as it is. He ended up talking me into going for a ride just to look.
Well when we got to the house on Cape Cod, we were astonished by what we saw. These people were hoarders, bad. Every square inch of every building on the property was packed with anything from trash to treasures and everything in between. There were piles of trash that had clearly been piling up for quite some time here and there. There were straight up spider webs in all the corners of where the ceilings met the walls. There was tinfoil taped over any window which could not be drawn tight with a shade. Odd bedrooms had been walled off in the house in a half arsed fashion, but you could make out the original open floor plan if you looked at the half walls they covered over. One bedroom had wooden bed headboards, disassembled wooden tables, and other random wood all leaning on each other stacked from one wall to the other. The floors had berms of dirt 1/2" deep along the edges of the pathways. Aside from all that, this place was a gold mine.
Health issues, a rowdy lifestyle, poor decisions, and drugs were all contributing factors as to what occurred here. My buddy's uncle who owned everything was an extremely nice guy! Lots of bowshite tall tales but a great guy nonetheless. He was a commercial fisherman, and there was a ton of fishing equipment. I don't fish so we didn't take any of that, aside from lead. He made his own lead sinkers so there's raw lead in various shapes, as well as completed weights already poured and formed. It has to be close to 1,000 lbs of lead we took. Shep actually flashed both of my chimneys using only lead from this cleanout which saved me over $100 easy. But that's boring.
The first night we got first run before anyone else came. The garage, the yard, the outbuildings, and the basement were all packed with a metric ton of tools and equipment, and almost all of it was up for grabs. We initially spent two hours just sitting talking with the owner because the situation was overwhelming. We didn't want to take anything, it was odd. The garage and basement were more organized and functional than any other parts of the property, and they were well stocked. All kinds of tools, hardware, probably 100 C-clamps, chainfalls, engines, and the first thing I fell in love with, a South Bend metal lathe.
It was in the basement where no man dared tread in years. We went down there and it was love at first sight. I asked the man "Nobody wants this?" His reply was, "If you don't take it, it's going to end up in a dumpster. All of this stuff is." I told him I had to have it and he was glad to see someone so interested. He doubted I'd get it out of the far corner of the basement, but I told him not to concern himself.
That night we loaded the tits out of my truck and also used a tailgate platform (which he gave us). I didn't take the lathe that night, and I got home around 2 in the morning. We had to unload everything when we got back because we had to go back for seconds the next day, and the earlier the better. There were a lot more people invited to day two.
The second day we brought two trucks and I towed my unregistered cargo trailer along as well. I couldn't possibly list everything we got right now, but the big things I can think of are the lathe, a like-new oil filled air compressor from 1986 (been DYING to get rid of my oiless compressor for years), a Rockwell drillpress (and a second smaller drillpress), a Raptor 80, two antique bench grinders, a John Deere 317 with mower, tiller, and four way hydraulic snow plough, two trailers (one of which my buddy towed home unregistered), a carved biker gnome statue, an 18 hp log splitter, five chainsaws (Husky 51, Husky 61, Stihl limbing saw, Homelite limbing saw, and an antique Homelite), some kind of 50cc Harley engine from the 50's, a worm drive saw, tons of antiques, and so much more. It's absurd, it really is. It was so much stuff that the entire garage is in shambles right now as we organize to get everything in. The only thing that isn't ours is the YZ85. He wants us to sell that and send him the money.
I'll probably update this as we go through it, there's just so, so much. Enjoy!
Sorry for the sideways pictures! I don't know why that happens and it makes me angry!

That's the antique Homelite we were given. I can get better pics of it for you. The power head looks to be in good shape. I found the pull start in the garage and decided to throw it in our keep bin because I liked it. The following day we found the power head in a building outside and my buddy said "The pull start is missing." I told him no it wasn't, I already have it. Then eventually we found the bar and chain and then the side cover. If the house weren't being ripped apart it's likely that saw wouldn't have gone together again.
The bar is the type with no roller on the tip, junk. We'll get a different bar for it with a roller.
In the picture of the saws, on the bottom shelf are my 435 and 576XP, and on the top is my Sears Gear Drive. Those were already here, all the others were from the tool giveaway.
Plasticos you are correct! The lathe will be with me until I pass, then someone else can continue to use it.

Nice haul!
That biker statue can be a priceless conversation piece.
My parents had one of those SpeedAire compressors for their upholstery business for years. Wouldn't quit but they finally had to upsize when they brought on more upholsterers. That SpeedAire turned into our portable one for off-site work and finally got demoted to their home for airing up tires and other small stuff.
