Went to a very disappointing Swapmeet today. It's always a small one but this time there was only a little more than a dozen sellers. However I overheard a fella talking abiut a post drill which was a silver something. That was my que. Got to chatting with the guy and got a invite over to see his shed.

Wow. I missed this thread (I usually only visit the "Metalwork" section).

What a fine variety of drills you've seen in the last two weekends. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Vann.

Didn't try to buy anything off him, just happy to have the chance to see it all.
Hopefully we'll stay in touch.

My cunning plan is to out live all these guys and be the only living person still interested

Though thinking about it, yer might run into problems there. There are literally 10's of millions of Chinese making a quid in machine shops right now. When they get to retiring and collecting age some of them will probably look at what they know and start to collect things of industrial history.
Me-thinks much of our relatively small Oz stock of old tools will soon disappear overseas.
