Phoenix,
dragonlady and i were out west (87th ave and cactus area) went to a sale of wood working tools by a fella, and i kinda got turned around and ended up in the opposite neighbor hood, anyways, came across a garage sale, saw a sign kids books, and well since i have the ''hood'' take a book leave a book cabinet'' i stopped and bought a couple boxes of kids books for the cabinet, and fella noticed my AZCDL hat and asked about it, so after my explanation of who, what, where and when, he mentioned he had some of his dads' stuff from his shooting days and was i interested in taking a look. The gal, was giving me the squint, meaning, you better not, but being Rj, i forged forward as i'm one for deals, or what i think might be a deal.
So we sache' into a storage room side of house, and he pulls out a box, a very minimal smile came up, trying not to alert individual to my happiness. And after sorting thru about 5k in misc. primers, a gaggle of bags of misc. brass (not a lot, but very nice odd brass), two gi cans of misc. boxes of boolits, half dozen of 1 lb bottles of powder, some cleaning tools and goods, and 14 boxes of 12 ga, and a few of 16 ga,

a deal was struck, and began carting goods to the ole gals car, all the while the head shaking syndrome had over taken her, i just smiled and loaded the goods, lol, deal was awesome, fella really had no idea of value, we chatted and i gave him a fair price, he was happy, i was happy, my reloading room is happy, my ole gal was mediocre happy, and said'' where are you gonna put this stuff, its not going in my storage shed'', lol, and no it didn't had to clean out a job box for temp storage till next sale, hopefully

happy sunday, now to work on shop till its too warm

Rj living the dream
 
Great find. Showing true AZCDL ethics.
Thats really nice of you to give him a fair price.
I hit garage sales weekly and haven't been so lucky yet. But there is always next weekend.

Some guys have all the luck.

So what of the woodworking tools?

yip, added a whole lotta router bits, and misc, hand tools to my stash, i'm on the hunt for a couple specialty tools, but nothing of great substance, my patio is full of my big power tools, ole gal is giving me a hard time about slow building the shop to give her back her patio, so....................big stuff on hold till shop done. lol
