Today's haul for me from the local Flea Market.
An Internal Starett micrometer.
6 carbide burrs.
A set of Brown and Sharpe angle blocks.
A Batty dial gauge.
A very cheap dual sided stone.
And lastly a pair of 8" Mitutoyo calipers.
Oh plus a couple of Eclipse scribes.

How flippin' big is your home workshop?!
Today I bought a mistake.
This is after an auction listing cockup which saw a Myford ML7 which was supposed to wait til the end go for £170 ex vat (I think the people waiting with seeious money had gone for a walk to pass the time)
Anyway I ended up bidding on the wrong 3 trays of stuff so now I have to work out what to do with it as most of it is too big for my little lathe. If anyones interested in anything PM me before I eBay stuff to get my money back XD
Tooling is 16mm and 20mm square.
Possibley a ML7 fixed steady (whats it worth anyone? That'll go on eBay if it looks like I can make a profit to cover my annoyance)
Fancy German DTI, same as above, no idea of value.

The last package from john.
Sad few days.
Hats of to the Police and DHL for sorting it.
GPO Ratchet screwdriver.
It looks and feels like the head was used as a hammer.
Stanley No. 5.
Spot what is missing.
Woden No. 5 Plane.
Complete, but the blades is nearly at the end of its life.
They will be restored and put back to use.
Those who know will understand why.

It's the bloody lawyers and the chicken-livered administrators responsible for it. All kicked off by the compo culture, of course.

The Pferd burrs will be top quality. Strange to find them at a boot sale. they’re fairly uncommon brand.

Monodex, from a car boot, £1. The seller asked what it was as I paid.

There was only the two types on offer, I'd not come across this brand before so only brought six, I'll have to see if I can obtain some more for stock.
There's quite a few boot sale type sellers up here who tend to specialise in good quality engineering stuff, all yesterday's haul came off one stall, apart from the dual surface stone which was only £2.00 in the box on another stall, so I had to have it.

Pferd invented the carbide burr. After WWI when Germany was suffocated by regulations and loss of patents, the product was stolen by other manufacturers.
So I’ve been told.

Interesting, I'll definitely have to try to purchase some more now.
Pferd also did a lot of rasps and other cutting implements for farriers, this is why their logo is a racehorse jumping through a loop (If I remember correctly). They now do all sorts of grinder attachments and suchlike for stock removal right up to final finish stuff.
