That's a nice little mini-brake. Looks more robust than other ones that size.

That’s a decent size. Where did it come from?

I got it at a sign shop auction a few years ago.

I'm reading a book now that talks about how the art of sign making is almost dead. It used to be a skilled profession and the sign makers were known as "mechanics" because of its complexities. From painting a perfect letter with a squirrel haired paint brush and getting it right the first time, to bending glass for neon and argon signs, it's a thing of the past due to vinyl printing presses and CNC. Sad

Someone should grab that brake...looks like a sweet little tool. The sign angle adds some nostalgia to it.

I’d take it if I were closer.
Shipping would be expensive I suspect.

I have a @Johnwa quota..... I’m only allowed to absorb so much of his collection per year.

So far I’ve picked up a motor gear reducer, kiln, pile-o-bricks and his ginger shaper


I have to wait for January for my quota to reset [emoji3]

If I relieve you of the Shaper are you back in the game?

I put ads on FB marketplace and kijiji. Within a couple of hours there were 3 responses from FB and none from kijiji. This was my first time listing on FB.

I can't seem to find your kijij post?

I deleted it already. It was only up for a couple of hours.

Oh, OK. So you found a buyer then?

 

[Johnwa]

I should have priced it higher!
