Improving the World, one baby at a time.

Your auction is going to be something.

Plenty of tools now the new grandson ! Congrats to the new parents ! Pass it on, Gary !

Gary you are the MAN, you do realize you make all of us jealous. I wish I lived next-store to you just to hangout and to scoop some knowledge, A smile goes to my face every time I see you have a new video up. The first time I seen your videos I was up all night long, had to binge watch your whole channel. Keep the great work and thank you for sharing it with us the viewer

Upvote for the James C. cameo!

Speechless on the year you have had. The whole YT community must be envious. You are going to need a bigger shop. The new Grandson at the end was the greatest prize. Hope you have happy and healthy 2023 and thanks for sharing all the fantastic tool finds.

Enjoyed everything EXCEPT the bash footage of me…LOL….great seagulling Gary

Always a joy to see a new video on this channel. Some lovely scores, but none tops the arrival of a grandson.

What a score😃😀

The Bridge with a ship passing AND grandbabies all in one video! Thank you for sharing Gary.

21:36 how does Gerstner hit the ball out of the park on EVERY box they build ....... damn they're always gorgeous

Missed your videos,glad your back thanks

Hey Gary. That was quite a year of collecting. The material you got from the guy in Petaluma was worth twice the total price! Nice scores all around. It's not fair you got your whole family scouring CL for you! Congratulations grandpa! All the best, Tom

Gary, I could comment on about half the tools that you showed, but I wanted to note on that Lisle ridge reamer. I am in the process of rebuilding my International 264 engine. It took on some water, and I needed to get the pistons out without further damage. The rings were stuck hard, so I needed to remove the ridge on the bores. I never liked those modern type of ridge reamers, so I looked on ebay and bought an old Lisle just like the one you have. Mine was never used, it would seem. Well, it did the job for me on my engine perfectly, not cutting too much, just the right amount. Keep that ridge reamer around and oiled up. They are way nicer than the new ones. The fine thread down feed and the arch to keep it square really make it the best to use. You might be thankful some day that you have it. --Doozer

That $70 tool sale was more than a really good buy! Lol😂

Gary, a great year for tools, now you need a few more Lista or Vidmars from the scrapyard to house them. Congrats on the grand baby

what beautiful grandson you really had a great year loved the video

Lots of great tools and nice on the GS.

You have really been blessed with the tool finds you have had this year. Congrats. Thanks very much for sharing Gary. Here is wishing you a great 2023.

Enough small dies that you can use one once and then throw it away! Grandsons are always good to have around. I have a few around here and have no end of fun with them. Cheers

The steel ruler saying made in USA. Nice to see. Not the other one.

Thought maybe you got lost 😂. Good to see you had time to make a video.👍

Nice Haul Gary Your Friend Gary from the Beautiful Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas

What a score!!👍

Quite a pile of tools. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

So many treasures!

wow, nice garage sale! congratulations on your grandson!

Quite a haul! Looks like the next thing you need to pick up at the next sale is a big warehouse to hold all this stuff ! Good luck with all of it.

Really nice easy watch. You are quite a collector. Envious of the cheap prices you get that stuff for. Nice to see the Bash. We don't have anything quite like that in the UK that I'm aware of. Maybe nearest would be a model engineering show. Cheers

You picked up some killer deals in 2022. Especially the sky hook and metal brake. I don't understand why sellers think they can throw 30 pounds of tooling in a cardboard box and not expect it to blow out the side. When I ship heavy stuff like that I build a wooden box to fit in the flat rate box.

There is 3 troyke rotary tables at delta scrap right now, they have an integral x/y table on them.

You always find some great buys and congrats on the new grandson. Enjoyed seeing the loot.

"WOW", unbelievable! I 'm sure you'll get alot of use of alot of the tooling you bought. Plus it gives you a chance to put togeather a nice tool kit for that new grandson. Another set of hands to train! Enjoyed watching, stay busy; time flies.Thanks!!

25:59 Just in case no one knows what it's for, at the far right is a retractable drumming brush - jazz drummers use them on the snare drum for the swoosh swoosh rhythm! Probably useful for cleaning out internal corners and such things. like a manual needle scaler I guess!

Great video Gary, that's a fine looking boy there, he will have plenty of tools someday for sure,lol...

You are such a fine gentleman. And a good finder of all tooling stuff! I have a similar style (Air plane prop blades) that I don't need it, no plans for using it, nothing I can see in the immediate future for an item, but shoot....at that price I'll take two! Thanks for the videos.

Congrats on your new Grandson, may he grow well and healthy!! He is definitely your biggest score!! Thanks for sharing Gary, take care!!

Gorgeous quarter-sawn white oak on that toolbox! Yowza! How many compressor valves does somebody want to see rebuilt? Well... at *least* one! Nice stuff. Thanks for the vid, sir! And I guess it's time for a different strategy next year at the 4-jaw competition. :-). But trying something new is always good. regardless. Cute kid.

Some good picking!

Nice scores!👏

You got some good deals around this area the deals are getting less and less. I guess the older people that had alot of stuff are getting to be less and less . I have alot of stuff i probably dont need much else but that dosent keep me from getting a bargain. One thing that has slowed my collecting down my parents have passed away and now i am cleaning up there stuff it realy makes make you thing about your own collection . I real like watching this video thanks for taking the time to show us. I got a some smaller torch bottles they are handy when you need to take a torch some were. That Grandson is great.

Great video Gary injoyed watching as always

I’ve bought used snap on because I knew they were warranted.

I always enjoy your videos. I have a half inch micrometer. Also, I use it once a year well I need to measure in some sort of a cavity. Lots of good tools you got there the last few months You’re well stocked on the Aloris tool holders.

I’d say you had a pretty great year! Congrats Grandpa! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video - I'm convinced buying quality tools is a good inflation hedge, especially at the prices you got! Well done :)

i look forward to your vids. you work on and get the coolest things.

Love your Videos awesome stuff 👍👍

Great scores with your purchases mate 👍🇦🇺

Are you trying to corner the market on tools? What a nice score. And you are right, best till last! I have a 3 month old great grand daughter... Awesome!!!!!

Gday Gary, congratulations on your new Grandson, you had some great purchases throughout the year, thanks for sharing mate, cheers

Wow Gary, so much where to begin? Congratulations on your new grandson. You find the best tools on YT. I have a 1/2" micrometer it sure is small. That Beverly shear is a beauty. Glad to see a new video. I will watch it a second time there is so much to see. Take care

Super jealous to see the range of quality gear and the ridiculously low prices you pay. Here in Oz we pay premium prices for junk tools and most of it is just handyman stuff. 😢

I remember watching you live on YT doing the four jaw comp. You sure collected some nice toys over time :)

An old iron tidbits AND a monday night meatloaf in the same afternoon! (Hi from the UK!) I am beginning to like mondays - unlike Garfield lol! Congrats on your grandson, thank you for sharing, Gary.

Yay Gary, wonderful as always buddy, I'm seriously loving your shop, I'd love a home setup, anyways have a great one 👍 and best wishes to you and yours Edit: just to add, what wonderful scores buddy, investing in the future there 👏

the answer too the auestion "how many valves you want to see made"? answer is ALL of THEM!!!!!

Man, thought you forgot about posting! Ncie finds, been looking for a brake for some time, but want a finger style. Ouch, I have been getting a few things lately all busted up. Some from shipping, some poor packing. Funny, my first real lathe was Jet 920, got at auction in Napa.

How am I not surprised at the box with the missing tool post missing, gone or stolen or just threw away when it fell out. These shipping companys need to be made to cover this stuff not the shipper then everyone's price goes up. It's nonsense at how things get treated these days in shipping. I just went through a remodel on my home and a dishwasher that my wife had ordered from Lowe's came on a Lowe's truck and when he raised the door whoever loaded it had ran the forks on the forklift through the front door of the dishwasher and out the back of the machine and they still tried to deliver it to me. The driver said well I have to leave the dishwasher and that I had to call Lowe's and take it up with them. Apparently the driver didn't know me or ever herd of me. I said really as he stood in the back of the truck well then watch this. He had left the truck running so I reached into the truck cut it off and took the keys. I told the driver when he finally made it back to Lowe's he could tell his boss that the truck was at my last stop along with the dishwasher that he had destroyed and tried to make me take delivery of. And that way when they came back for it they would have a truck to take it back on. Needless to say at that point he started to loading it back up and started his I'm sorry over and over.

4:18 I have the same gauge block set

Gary where did you get the O rings for your torch? I have some old Victor torches which don’t see much use but when I need one I need it. Went to two welding supply’s in Oxnard this last week. Both said they don’t carry them anymore. They would take them in for a discount on a new unit but I would rather keep mine working. Thanks for the always interesting videos. Perfect for a gale force NE wind day that’s keeping me inside. Randy

Pleas can you make a toolbox tour sir

Man. Talk about tool envy.

I’ve got a number of the same tool holders, in BXA, for my Dorian. But I’ve replaced all the hold down screws. I bought screws from McMastercarr (where else?) with flats. I don’t know why they use screws with necks at the bottom. If you use a tool that’s the height of the slot, much of the screw neck is in the holder, with no threads! I just don’t get that. Gary, how many sockets do you “need”? Oh yeah, congrats on the new kid.

Man, I got to watch more Craig's list and less KZfaq!!! See you at the Bash again this year Gary?

Some of the packages I got there was nothing in the box.

is there ever enough space

Very Reasonable = ?
