Boot Fairs Soon!

[durulz]

I know the weather's been pretty ropey for a while now, but Spring really isn't that far away. Honest. And when Spring is here that will mean Boot Fair season starts!
So, come on, let's be mindlessly optimistic, aggravatingly cheery and sickeningly positive, and give voice to your Boot Fair hope-to-finds!
Me? I want to get hold of a petrol-fuelled stove.
What are you hoping to get your filthy paws on?

As many old files as i can find for forging with,old tools,old axes for starters...
I hope to better last years best finds that were:An elwell felling axe for £4,Survival aids of penrith dpm hooped bivvy,birch burr kuksa,and a whole workshop of toooools!

 

[Kerne]

Axe heads. Old tools. New ideas for things to make.

 

[Shewie]

Anything stainless, catering trays etc
Drill bits
General tools I don't have yet or have already broken

 

[_scorpio_]

bellows, some nice long fire tongs, couple of club hammers, scrap metal (like files and stuff) and a picasso hidden behind a 3 year olds crayon drawing

 

[dwardo]

Would love an old farriers rasp for bow making and maybe a nice heavy draw knife to accompany my lighter one

Nearly forgot! I have my local tip on the lookout for bill hooks

 

[Shewie]

Oh and some decent woodworking tool to get me started

 

[markheolddu]

Wool blankets, billhooks, gouges, files, axes, stainless containers, cast iron cookware, petrol lighters and parafin lanterns

Mark

 

[Tengu]

Oh, gosh, all of the above.

And some Anime.

 

[Melonfish]

absolutely all of the above, there's some good things to look out for and even better if you can hit rural carboot sales rather then the city ones (all knockoff DVD's)
we'll definitely be hitting a few this year and probebly participating too!

I love a good boot sale.

Last year I picked a bunch of lumps of aluminium and brass which I still need to find a use for - new trigger for the air rifle was the original plan.

Old axe-heads to re-helve, a maul, wool articles to cut up.

A workbench?!

all of the above, especially old files and old blacksmithing tools, SHMBO hates me going to boot sales because i do bye so much, she dont understand that everything has a use, one day!
