  • Locker Nuts episode 611
    I picked up this storage locker at the auction for just a dollar, hoping to find treasure but only seeing a big piano, office furniture and dusty boxes. But whenever there are boxes, there is potential and in this second part to the series that proves to be true. Awesome finds!
    This is part 2 of the "Stored since 1993" locker.

    I was born in 1957 and I'll tell you what Jack, this locker was a walk down memory lane for me. I find it amazing what people store away, and you buy for pennies on a dollar. Thanks for all you do. Eight tracks in my car at 16, cb radios, on and on, cool locker!!!.

    I giggled a lot when you were surprised by the fact that the person who once owned this unit kept “razor” sharp knife edges……I’m pretty sure that when you’re the proud owner of an antique grinding wheel, you have to maintain ALL your blade edges or lose your sharpener’s card! 🤪🤣
    I absolutely love the episodes when you get so excited about what you are finding that you start “geeking out” and making entertaining comments! 😊

    I might be wrong but, those stones worked with water. I believe that metal rod held a tin cup that dripped water onto the wheel so the stone stayed wet to sharpen axe heads and hatchet heads or whatever!!

    The brown round thing with wheels goes to a rainbow sweeper. The rainbow sweeper worked by having water in the bottom to keep the dirt trapped. No bags needed. I had one for over 25 years. They are great Also mason jars and the steel poles are for the sweeper too

  • @cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449

    You must be very close to the same age as my son. He studied printing and publishing, too, having to learn (and buy tools for) the old ways just as most print houses were going digital. Certainly in the years he worked in the field he didn't use much of what he'd learned in school, but the the things he did have to use came in most handy!
    Fun stuff, watching you geek out. :)

    i was watching some of your older videos and came across the Man From UNCLE model kit. I bought it from you on a whatnot show! i resold it on my ebay store for @325 plus shipping. It was my first item I ever sold that was over $20. It inspired me to take reselling a little more serious. About a month later I was taken off work due to a disability with my diabetes, the income i was making from the ebay sore allowed me to buy my insulin in between the time of losing my insurance from work and gaining my disability benefits, This one sale genuinely saved my life. Thought you would enjoy hearing how you personally had a positive effect on my life, Thank you!
