[TheForge] Auctions

[Dave Brown]

Went to a farm consignment auction today.  Mostly big equipment, but some 
little stuff too.  No anvils or forges.  But I did pick up two motors (2hp 
and 3hp) that should come in handy.  Also picked up a nice bottle jack for 
the asking.

Also picked up a "fastening machine" by United-Carr Fastener Co, 
Boston.  It seems to be a sort of kick press for setting rivets, possibly 
for harness makers.  I need to do a little research.  Even if the press 
isn't useful or have any resale potential, at least the table it's mounted 
to is worth more than I paid.  So, I'll have made out OK in any event.
