The Hegner scroll saws are still, to this day, one of the, if not the best scroll saws available. Especially the "Polycut" line is absolutely marvellous - only matched by the Pégas scroll saws. Absolutely top-notch.
I purchased a new RBI Hawk 220vs professional scroll saw in 1992 when they were still made in America. Sold it in 2014 to a woodworking inlay artist. RBI saws were manufactured in Harrisonville, MO.
You cheered up a miserable rainy day in Northern England, You're so fortunate to have these auctions as we don't have anything like this in the UK, I would also be addicted. 😊
@@Je.Suis.Flaneur There is car boot sales in a field but I've only ever seen basic hand tools, no chance of finding a lathe or a sander like Mr Pete bought.
Hi Mr Pete, I was the old guy helping Matt (from Arkansas) get your little Hardinge speed lathe out of your basement last year. I have a 1"x42" sander like the one you bought with the Gould motor. Mine is a Craftsman, I bought it new, still works great. I enjoy all your videos. I enjoyed meeting you and talking with you about your muller and foundry. Earlier this year, I was gifted a home foundry. It doesn't have a muller so I've got to make one, the foundry came with about 25 gallons of Petrobond sand! I still have all the pictures I took of your muller. Thank you and keep making the great videos!
Mr Pete . youve attended more absolutely last auctions than Status Quo Final Tours or Brentford Nylon closing down sales ! Despite which they sill make compulsive watching for me and thousands of other of my fellow compatriots . Thanks Mr Pete
Thank you Lyle for the adventure. Regarding your auction adventures, It’s not because you have to, It’s because you can. If you stayed home, you’d probably be sitting on your laurels, rotting away. These auctions are what keeps you going. It’s always a thrill to travel with you and see what is available. I can’t wait until ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE progresses and we can reach through our computers to buy stuff at these auctions. It might be a dream, but it’s fun to think about. Have a great weekend, because watching your videos surely makes my weekend enjoyable. Let’s go to the next auction.
I probably would have been tempted by even more items than Mr. Pete. Fortunately for my wallet I only go to auctions via UA-cam. My resistance to buying junk I don’t need is inversely proportional to my proximity to flea markets and tag sales.
$1 for that Hegner saw??? That's CRAZY. That would make a great starter machine for Henry!! I liked the JD Wallace bandsaw(16")... My first machine restoration was a Wallace bandsaw that i bought in 1981, on the day that I graduated from College (shop teacher). I was dressed in a silver suit and had the men in the machine shop load it into the back of my Datsun pickup so i wouldn't get dirty.
I love your auction videos, because while we have auctions in our area, they are all on-line, and frequently have open bidding for over a week. Many item sell for close to retail. If something sells really cheap, there is usually a reason why. I got my big Rockwell Delta sander that way- it needed a lot of work!
Mr. Pete When we were kids growing up on the South Side of Chicago in the 50's, us kids would look forward to what we called "garbage picking". Scrounging around down our local back alleys, especially after a big rain storm or flood, looking for anything thrown out useful that we could salvage, re purpose or even sell. Your auction videos very much reminded me of some of the "junk" we would see stacked up in and around the stationary concrete garbage bins back behind each house or apartment back in those days, for the city garbagemen crews to discard into the back of the garbage truck. We of course would beat them to it when we could. It's a wonder we kids never got tetanus or anything worse.
Sounds like we did on a smaller scale. We often walked six or eight blocks to grade school through the city alleys. My brother found a big artillery shell probably from the first world war. Empty of course.
Hey Mr pete222,I just saw a 500.00 dollar Logan 820 with a turret tailstock at a scrapyard indoors ,it looked decent but dirty,too bad I don't need a lathe!thought it was very cool!
I can't say that I've ever read "The Cabinet" but definitely know of it. I do have a set of the machinery handbooks (from a toolmaker uncle) in similar binding plus another set from around 1916.
Frankie Lane. Neat! I know the Marty Robbi s version! Crazy auction. So many things so cheap. I couldn't give a rip less that some folks and you think you're crabby. I'm getting there and I'm your junior by 20. Good auction video! Looking forward to your content!
Hello Mr. Pete, I really love your auctions, I am glad you didn't stop going, thanks for sharing with us out there, really appreciate it, cheers from me and others. 😃👍👍👍👍👍
HAHAHAAH 00:06:32 Someone hollering Your name .... Looked like a Great day for An outside Auction. Looked like a Shop that has been around a very long time.. MUCH Thanks lyle.. Mike M.
"A drill new chuck....threaded........aruggg!" I thought I was the only one that thinks that threaded drill chucks are a step below a tapered mount ones. Lol!!! Yeah, you're obsessed over 1 x 42 belt sanders! I have a sensitivity drill press I aught to send you for your collection. Thanks for sharing! Ken
You have a right to be cranky at 80 years old. You've earned it! I love auctions, but they aren't as good out here on the west coast. The prices are not nearly as good. I'm 73, and like you, I really don't need any more tools, but I WANT more tools! 😄. Buying tools keeps you young, (well at least in my mind). Keep putting out the videos, us old geezers love em! . . . Chuck🤪
Great video I really enjoyed it. Good auction looks like people got some exceptional deals. It didn't look like a very big crowd which surprised me, as I read the sale bill. Good deal.
A Hegner scroll saw for a dollar is a great find. I won't tell you what my dad paid for mine back in the 80's. The bellows are nothing more than a CV boot and are easily replaced. Sadly I can't find the picture I took of the box my replacement came from. My local auto parts store let me go through their stock to find it.
I too am an auction addict and enjoy your auction videos, please keep them coming. I know you have heard this before but here in central Georgia it is very seldom we have auctions with this much stuff. I do most of my auction buying now through online bidding auctions. And yes I am only slightly younger than you and I know what the sign on the cabinet was referring to.
I'd have bought the Hegner, they're very expensive brand new. It sounded like you got it for $1 !! Amazing bargain. The machine shop operations book looks great, I hope you make a project from it.
Mr. Pete I would have bought that Hegner scroll saw without a doubt, they still go for big money, $600-850.00 easy. You got a great buy that time. My wife has seen me watch your videos and she says you are so funny. Thanks for sharing. P.S. I stand corrected I just checked pricing and it is as high as 1800.00
Lyle - Great video - like you I love auctions. Some you make out great at, some you don't. As to Crabby - my wife of 54 years has been calling me that for a lot longer than we've been married. But then she's known me since 9th grade. Real score on the scroll saw - but I have a nice old Walker Turner that fits my needs. The sensitive drill press - well, if I had been there you would have had some competition. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
The 1 X 42 sander you bought for the motor is just like the one I got at Harbor Freight about 20 years ago. Mine is still going on the original Chinese motor. It's not a quality machine but it has ground a heck of lot of steel.
Have enjoyed your channel for years. Not many tool auctions around here. Went to a car show last father's day, bought an old Keller powered hack saw..for $100.00, complete minus motor. Will not have to build a Gingery saw from scratch. Love shop work...makes you think about what you are doing! Do not stop.
Hey I have a set of those books 1-8 and the workbook. They were used in a training course at Allison Transmission, way back when. They were a gift from my wife's grandmother and were used in the class by her husband. I have read them all and used the information during my career as an engineer. Enjoy your videos.
Yes I was with you at 31:10 when you asked if anybody was still with you. As for me, I would have bid on that Hegner saw. I have a scroll saw so don't really need another, but I would have at that low price. I was shocked at some of the low prices on the woodworking equipment.
In the UK, I continue to enjoy and value your insight at auctions. Someone said earlier that we don't have them here. Well not exactly like the US ones. But if you know where to look, there are farmer's markets, steam fairs, model engineering exhibitions....etc. And if it's not an aucgion, you can a!ways enjoy a good haggle.
I love the auction videos, you got great deals today, those old drill press machines look great on video just ask Jimmy Diresta. The scroll saw was also the buy of the year, you should do a video of you replacing the bellows.
Ha Ha no checks? Well done! I am getting some machinist tools together for two kids in the neighborhood. You just have to be at the correct auction. Good luck sir.
At first, I though, ah! no narration. But as you circle the tables, I hear the birds singing in the background and what could be better than that? Thank again, Lyle. -- Never forget, I flunked Shop and got an A in HomeEc.
I have one very much like that one waiting for restoration. I got it at the local "recycling center" because someone was smart enough to NOT toss it into the metal recycling dumpster! They left it on the ground in front of it and I pounced upon it like a cat chasing a mouse! LOL
Prices on most of it seemed reasonable to cheap. I remember being excited when I bought my Rockwell only to learn that the tires were shot and it cost me a C note to get replacements and only one guy selling them because he is a fan of the machine. The new ones don't have tires and I think they could be made using a 3D printer.
The little drill press caught my eye the first time you passed by it (before the auction began) and I like the really old floor model drill press too! I am a sucker for a tool bargain as well. I could hardly believe the prices that some of the wood working tools were selling for. OT: when you were showing the Hagener paperwork, I spotted a gyroscope on the bench behind the box of goodies. When I was about 5 years old we went to the state fair in Springfield and my parents bought me one just like that one! I don't know what happened to it but I had it for many years.
My dad bought me a gyroscope when I was a child. This is not the same one, but I’ve been fascinated ever since. For a while, I owned the Sperry gyroscope from an airplane, it might be in a very old video of mine.
Hey Tubal glad to see you enjoying the auctions I do a lot of online options buying that is I haven't seen anything that you bought that you overpaid for so far when you pay a dollar to 5 dollars for something it's pretty much a steal at today's rate yeah it's all you need to do is get one of them wheels it's got to be word of dollar and then there's other stuff on your metal is good to keep for different things course at our age we don't need it but as long as there's fire in the furnace might as well keep it burning I enjoy your videos I will keep watching Eagle voice typing
I enjoy your auction videos. Wish we had them down here as they are scarce. We might find an item or two in a garage or yard sale. Times were tough growing up in the 50's & 60's. We had stuff we wouldn't touch now like Tang, Oleo margarine, Mellorine imitation ice cream, & don't forget powdered milk. Keep'em coming Mr. Pete, I enjoy your subject matter as much as your views of the world.
Well Mr. Pete, I thoroughly enjoyed coming along with you to the auction. It's hard for me to watch some gentleman's entire collection of tools laid out on a trailer for total strangers to paw through. Especially if the tools were treasured and kept in original boxes with all the paperwork. Seeing people rip into boxes tearing papers and box corners, then leaving items half in the torn boxes is sad. As far as items I would have bid on, it probably would have been some of the expendables. I saw a lot of grinding discs, rolls of emery tape, fasteners and shop supplies. I have just about everything I need as far as tools go. Had there been a nice size welding table I might have picked that up to.
Man, Lyle,you get crazier as time goes on. I envy you. I don’t have the room for everything I need, much less to buy all that stuff I don’t. My shops are full. But, if you decide to sell the set of machine books, I’ll be happy to buy them from you. I buy old machine and microscope books. I don’t sell them, I read them as I always find something useful for work in my own shops. And I just love that old machinery. I started when I wasn’t yet in my teens, reading my dad’s 1903 edition of Modern Machine Tools. I’ve built up quite a library over the decades.
Yeah, it's all about the hunt, and probably an addiction :D My dad used to take us to flea markets and such on the weekends growing up (and auctions sometimes). Basically the same thing + haggling (which is fun if both parties are open minded). Rummaging through thingamabobs and doohickeys trying to figure out what is what, and sometimes finding a gem, is good fun! (And cheap most of the time, unless you find something special that you just have to have, then it can get expensive...)
Wow, what prices! It's kind of depressing seeing how little my fine collection of similar junk will bring. I guess maybe I won't be in a position to care, lol. Thanks for bringing us along on a fun adventure! It looks like a really nice house and grounds, and I enjoyed hearing about the history.
It's really interesting 🤔 to see/hear/read about what different people find to be the things that are most desirable in the auction.... From what people say in the vid, to what is sold, and what people talk about in the comments, I find it interesting how very different values that different people put on various items.... I also dig the competitive nature of auctions, of course 😀!
It’s funny as soon as I saw the little drill press I knew it was going in the car 🤣🤣
Same Here 👍👍
The Hegner scroll saws are still, to this day, one of the, if not the best scroll saws available. Especially the "Polycut" line is absolutely marvellous - only matched by the Pégas scroll saws. Absolutely top-notch.
I purchased a new
RBI Hawk 220vs professional scroll saw in 1992 when they were still made in America. Sold it in 2014 to a woodworking inlay artist. RBI saws were manufactured in Harrisonville, MO.
That was the buy of the day for a buck!
I think the scroll saw is good enough to start a new hobby.
You cheered up a miserable rainy day in Northern England, You're so fortunate to have these auctions as we don't have anything like this in the UK, I would also be addicted. 😊
Isn't that a Boot Sale there?
@@Je.Suis.Flaneur There is car boot sales in a field but I've only ever seen basic hand tools, no chance of finding a lathe or a sander like Mr Pete bought.

Thanks for commenting. Yes I do remember you.
I have the same Craftsman sander, it get's the job done. Rarely a day goes by when it doesn't get used.
Thanks for taking us along. If u find it interesting , so will someone else. Enjoy the weekend Lyle.❤
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a great movie. The story the sets and the actors are over the top.
Yes, indeed. Only about 2% of the viewers knew what I was talking about. Lol.
Mr. Pete, you're not crabby. But you have a right to be. As we get old, we figure out how we've been lied to our whole lives.
I think you hit the nail on the head
Mr Pete . youve attended more absolutely last auctions than Status Quo Final Tours or Brentford Nylon closing down sales ! Despite which they sill make compulsive watching for me and thousands of other of my fellow compatriots . Thanks Mr Pete
😁😁😁
One mans junk is another mans gold mine. I love watching you go through your rusty gold and man you really had some great deals!
One man's estate sale is another man's future estate sale
So true!
Thank you Lyle for the adventure. Regarding your auction adventures, It’s not because you have to, It’s because you can. If you stayed home, you’d probably be sitting on your laurels, rotting away.
These auctions are what keeps you going.
It’s always a thrill to travel with you and see what is available. I can’t wait until ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE progresses and we can reach through our computers to buy stuff at these auctions.
It might be a dream, but it’s fun to think about.
Have a great weekend, because watching your
videos surely makes my weekend enjoyable.
Let’s go to the next auction.
😁😁
As soon as I saw that small drill press ,I knew you were buying it !! Great stuff. 150 yr. old tree, same one in my front yard .
BTW Tree's only grow the limbs they need ..... balance
I have a sensitive drill press very similar to that I bought it from a co worker in 1978at Cartier in NYC it’s good quality but very heavy
I probably would have been tempted by even more items than Mr. Pete. Fortunately for my wallet I only go to auctions via UA-cam. My resistance to buying junk I don’t need is inversely proportional to my proximity to flea markets and tag sales.
lol
Mr. PETE, I enjoy your auction videos. Keep it up.
I tell my wife and friends that I have an iron deficiency, so I have to buy the items at actions. 😂😂😂😂 it's more fun than going to the doctor 😅😂
True
I'm going to borrow that one! Thank you very much!
$1 for that Hegner saw??? That's CRAZY. That would make a great starter machine for Henry!! I liked the JD Wallace bandsaw(16")...

Awesome videialwys enjoying each video you do I learn lots
Wow! What a treasure trove of relics. I wish i was there. I had seen about 10 items (toys) that i need. 😂
I love your auction videos, because while we have auctions in our area, they are all on-line, and frequently have open bidding for over a week. Many item sell for close to retail. If something sells really cheap, there is usually a reason why. I got my big Rockwell Delta sander that way- it needed a lot of work!
Well done Mr Pete. 253 years on the oak tree.
Hi , just found your channel , IT'S BRILLIANT. Thks
Awesome, thank you!
Keep the auction videos coming. They are always interesting...
You made out like a bandit. I would have bought it all and probably more.😂
Mr. Pete When we were kids growing up on the South Side of Chicago in the 50's,
us kids would look forward to what we called "garbage picking".
Scrounging around down our local back alleys, especially after a big rain storm or flood, looking for anything thrown out useful that we could salvage, re purpose or even sell.
Your auction videos very much reminded me of some of the "junk" we would see stacked up in and around the stationary concrete garbage bins back behind each house or apartment back in those days, for the city garbagemen crews to discard into the back of the garbage truck.

I really enjoyed the video, no idea on age of the oak tree
Can't wait for the sensitive drill press video
Can't believe the prices things were going for at that auction. Very interesting to see. Glad I wasn't there, would have spent too much $$$.
Love that drill press !
Hey Mr pete222,I just saw a 500.00 dollar Logan 820 with a turret tailstock at a scrapyard indoors ,it looked decent but dirty,too bad I don't need a lathe!thought it was very cool!
😂
I can't say that I've ever read "The Cabinet" but definitely know of it. I do have a set of the machinery handbooks (from a toolmaker uncle) in similar binding plus another set from around 1916.
👍👍
I love the little drill press. Good job Mr Pete.
100 percent are wicked. Their is non righteous, no not one. Thanks for taking us on the auction. Very interesting.
Romans 3:10
Definitely on the scroll saw and the sander
I really enjoy seeing your walk through videos at the auctions.
neat old sensitive drill press
Frankie Lane. Neat! I know the Marty Robbi s version!
Crazy auction. So many things so cheap.
I couldn't give a rip less that some folks and you think you're crabby. I'm getting there and I'm your junior by 20.
Good auction video!
Looking forward to your content!
still here lol, fun to watch your video
Hello Mr. Pete, I really love your auctions, I am glad you didn't stop going, thanks for sharing with us out there, really appreciate it, cheers from me and others. 😃👍👍👍👍👍
Mr. Pete, you're a national treasure. Keep up the great work and the irreverence for the P.C. "status quo". Love it!!

HAHAHAAH 00:06:32 Someone hollering Your name ....
Looked like a Great day for An outside Auction.
Looked like a Shop that has been around a very long time..
MUCH Thanks lyle..
Mike M.
Nice one Pete
Mike in the UK
Stuff went for so little. I want to cry. Auctions have gotten so expensive where I live. I so wish I was there. Great job, Mr. Pete .
I wish he showed what those grizzly table saws went for instead of cutting the video to story time...
"A drill new chuck....threaded........aruggg!" I thought I was the only one that thinks that threaded drill chucks are a step below a tapered mount ones. Lol!!! Yeah, you're obsessed over 1 x 42 belt sanders! I have a sensitivity drill press I aught to send you for your collection. Thanks for sharing! Ken
Thanks Mr Pete. I would have loved to be at that auction. The scroll saw is the deal of a lifetime. Congratulations, always happy for you.

Boy that stuff went cheap. How do you get the heads up on these sales. I would love to know please.😊
I would be interested in the set of books
Great video I really enjoyed it. Good auction looks like people got some exceptional deals. It didn't look like a very big crowd which surprised me, as I read the sale bill. Good deal.

Thoroughly entertained over here !! Thank you Mr. Pete !
That was an incredible amount of stuff and junk....I better start adding more to my pile, I'm way behind 😁😁
I enjoy your auction videos. You absolutely did fantastic on the Hegner scroll saw. Those are the auction finds you dream about.
It's a good thing they don't do that sort of thing by me or I'd really be jammed up over here. I'm bad enough at yard sales.
Please don’t stop going to auctions, for what ever strange reason I love watching them.

Wow, hard to believe that it’s worth that much
yesterday a man sent me an email and would like to trade the saw for a small lathe
Plant some real good sweet corn and put that Nitragen fertilizer on n cook it up for your sweetie. I love the auction vids.
I really liked that drum, thickness sander for a few bucks. I just made one. But, I probably would have bought it all.😂
Lyle - Great video - like you I love auctions. Some you make out great at, some you don't. As to Crabby - my wife of 54 years has been calling me that for a lot longer than we've been married. But then she's known me since 9th grade. Real score on the scroll saw - but I have a nice old Walker Turner that fits my needs.

Hey I have a set of those books 1-8 and the workbook. They were used in a training course at Allison Transmission, way back when. They were a gift from my wife's grandmother and were used in the class by her husband. I have read them all and used the information during my career as an engineer. Enjoy your videos.

I would have bought that hegner. I enjoy doing that type of woodworking.
Just this week I was looking for a used precision drill press. lol
I have one very much like that one waiting for restoration. I got it at the local "recycling center" because someone was smart enough to NOT toss it into the metal recycling dumpster! They left it on the ground in front of it and I pounced upon it like a cat chasing a mouse! LOL

Hey Tubal glad to see you enjoying the auctions I do a lot of online options buying that is I haven't seen anything that you bought that you overpaid for so far when you pay a dollar to 5 dollars for something it's pretty much a steal at today's rate yeah it's all you need to do is get one of them wheels it's got to be word of dollar and then there's other stuff on your metal is good to keep for different things course at our age we don't need it but as long as there's fire in the furnace might as well keep it burning I enjoy your videos I will keep watching Eagle voice typing
"Do I hear a bearing howling?" overtop of the loudest squealing bearing I've ever heard... classic. Yeah, it's got a little whistle to it...
I'd love to find auctions like that where I live.
Nice Show! Keep them coming! All the best. Chuck!
Thanks, Chuck
I enjoy your auction videos. Wish we had them down here as they are scarce. We might find an item or two in a garage or yard sale.
Times were tough growing up in the 50's & 60's. We had stuff we wouldn't touch now like Tang, Oleo margarine, Mellorine imitation ice cream, & don't forget powdered milk.
Keep'em coming Mr. Pete, I enjoy your subject matter as much as your views of the world.
I bought one lije that at the scrap yard a year ago in Petaluma
Plus other fun tools
UA-cam makes it easy to hide behind a mask. I'm glad you don't take negative comments personally.
This is more entertaining than the Ed Sullivan Show!!!!

Well Mr. Pete, I thoroughly enjoyed coming along with you to the auction. It's hard for me to watch some gentleman's entire collection of tools laid out on a trailer for total strangers to paw through. Especially if the tools were treasured and kept in original boxes with all the paperwork. Seeing people rip into boxes tearing papers and box corners, then leaving items half in the torn boxes is sad. As far as items I would have bid on, it probably would have been some of the expendables. I saw a lot of grinding discs, rolls of emery tape, fasteners and shop supplies. I have just about everything I need as far as tools go. Had there been a nice size welding table I might have picked that up to.
Man, Lyle,you get crazier as time goes on. I envy you. I don’t have the room for everything I need, much less to buy all that stuff I don’t. My shops are full. But, if you decide to sell the set of machine books, I’ll be happy to buy them from you. I buy old machine and microscope books. I don’t sell them, I read them as I always find something useful for work in my own shops. And I just love that old machinery. I started when I wasn’t yet in my teens, reading my dad’s 1903 edition of Modern Machine Tools. I’ve built up quite a library over the decades.
I have got quite a library as well. But I do not read as much anymore because of my eyes. Thank you for commenting.
Years ago, I bought a Hegner scroll saw for my mother. It was a large model and I paid about $1,000 in the 1990's.
OMG that saw for $1! I would've loved the wide belt sander for $5.
Yeah, it's all about the hunt, and probably an addiction :D
My dad used to take us to flea markets and such on the weekends growing up (and auctions sometimes).
Basically the same thing + haggling (which is fun if both parties are open minded).
Rummaging through thingamabobs and doohickeys trying to figure out what is what, and sometimes finding a gem, is good fun!
(And cheap most of the time, unless you find something special that you just have to have, then it can get expensive...)
👍👍
Man, your auctions are reasonable. The ones I've been to, people run the prices of stuff way to high to even consider buying.
I am one who watches beginning to end. I just like your voice and sense of sarcasm. Thanks.
😁😁
Wow, what prices! It's kind of depressing seeing how little my fine collection of similar junk will bring. I guess maybe I won't be in a position to care, lol. Thanks for bringing us along on a fun adventure! It looks like a really nice house and grounds, and I enjoyed hearing about the history.
I was thinking the exact same thing in regards to my extensive hoard of tools. Probably go for pennies on the dollar.
Thanks again
It's really interesting 🤔 to see/hear/read about what different people find to be the things that are most desirable in the auction.... From what people say in the vid, to what is sold, and what people talk about in the comments, I find it interesting how very different values that different people put on various items....
I also dig the competitive nature of auctions, of course 😀!
Enjoyed the action hope you make a kings ransome from all the pullers .thanks mr pete for taking us along !!
Keep em coming!!!!
