chiefjason Report post Posted October 17, 2012 So I'm scouring pawn shops for a Baritone Horn for my daughter. I get a lead on a shop that might have one. When I go I'm OC"ing my G19 in a my snap on leather holster. I'm looking at some handguns while I wait and another employees asks if he can help. We talk guns, I mention I make holsters and he asks if I'm interested in some tools. Sure. So he goes and gets a bowling ball bag full of tools. Then only thing that annoys me is that I just ordered 3 of the tools in the bag from Springfield. Anyway, he had not decided if he was selling the whole bag or going to part it out. So I ask him to make me a price for the whole bag. I walked out of there with all this for some change under $65. And going back later to have may daughter try the horn that they did have. I'm still giddy about this. Most of this stuff is not even used. But a lot of it is getting ready to be. And just to relate this here, I might have to try tooling a holster soon.

chiefjason Report post Posted October 17, 2012 Guys, this rarely happens to me. And I'll think I'll have to pass on all the generous offers. lol Basically, I saw the strap cutter, adjustable gouge, overstitcher, dye, finish, and bag of snaps. At that point I was figuring I wanted it, but they had not priced it yet. I was figuring about $100, and that would not have been bad. But when he said $60 I just told him to leave it on the counter and we would take care of it in a minute or two. He thanked me for saving him 3 hours worth of work researching and pricing each piece. Hey, glad to help! The crazy thing is he paid some guy LESS than that for it. Yikes! I need to find out what some of this stuff is. It's just not stuff I was working with so I have not educated myself on it. I was staying out of tooling because I did not want to buy the tools. hehe I guess I can start looking into that now. BTW, we went back and picked up the horn. We got a Yamaha Baritone Horn that was tagged at $799 for $200. It had set in the case so long it had tarnished into the finish. I bet it's been there for 10 years. It looked bad aesthetically, but there was no damage and my daughter can play it fine. I'm in the process of taking the tarnish, and unfortunately the lacquer finish, off with brasso and steel wool. Looks like I beat the house twice today. I'll trade some elbow grease for that price. And my daughter is practicing on it now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
